Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis is a process for the reduction
of dissolved ions (such as salts) from water in which pressure
is employed to force liquid (water) through a semi-permeable
membrane, which will transmit the water but reject most other
dissolved materials. When forced against the membrane surface,
the dissolved materials are repelled, while the water molecules
are diffused through the membrane molecule by molecule, forming
purer water on the other side.
Reverse osmosis systems produce pure water by
forcing untreated water or tap water through their Reverse Osmosis
membrane. The membrane lets only water molecules pass through
directing it to the units storage tank. The impurities that
are separated from the water molecules are forced down the drain.
The system consists of both pre and post filters which add additional
contaminant removal and can improve water taste.
