What is Reverse Osmosis?

Reverse Osmosis is a technology that is used to remove a large majority of dissolved contaminants from water by pushing the water under pressure through a semi-permeable membrane.  So if you have to put sweet water through the reverse osmosis system, you will have 2 outputs. Your pure water will have no taste (permeate ), and the water water will be more sweet ( concentrate ) Reverse Osmosis is the process of removing dissolved elements from your water. For example, if you have a cup of water. Each time you add a teaspoon of sugar, The TDS will increase. So, the more sugar you add, the higher your tds will be. A filter system will not remove the sugar that’s dissolved in the water. The only way to remove what’s dissolved is the water is to put it through a reverse osmosis system.

How Does Reverse Osmosis Work?

A semipermeable membrane has small pores that block contaminants but allow water molecules to flow through. In osmosis, water becomes more concentrated as it passes through the membrane to obtain equilibrium on both sides.

Reverse osmosis, however, blocks contaminants from entering the less concentrated side of the membrane. For example, when pressure is applied to a volume of saltwater during reverse osmosis, the salt is left behind and only clean water flows through.

What does a reverse osmosis system remove In Water?

  • Dissolved Salts & Minerals

    RO removes excess sodium, calcium, and magnesium, preventing hard water buildup and scaling in appliances.

  • Chlorine & Chloramine

    These disinfectants are used in municipal water but can cause a bad taste and odor. RO filtration effectively eliminates them for fresher water.

  • Bacteria & Viruses

    Microorganisms like E. coli, salmonella, and viruses are removed, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases and infections.

  • Heavy Metals

    Lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium are toxic and harmful to health. RO membranes filter out these dangerous metals, making water safer to drink.

  • Pesticides & Chemicals

    Reverse osmosis removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), herbicides, and industrial pollutants that can pose serious health risks.

  • Fluoride

    While fluoride is added to some water supplies for dental health, excessive amounts can be harmful. RO systems significantly reduce fluoride levels.
