What Is Reverse Osmosis?

In the world of home water purification systems, installing a Reverse Osmosis Purification System is an increasingly popular choice. Sounds pretty technical, doesn’t it? Actually, osmosis is a phenomenon that occurs in nature, and it’s a pretty vital process in the functions it serves. Some of the most common examples of osmosis include things like the functioning of our kidneys to absorb water from our blood, or the absorption of water from the soil by plants.

In Osmosis, more dilute fluids like water, are naturally drawn to denser fluids, with a greater concentration of minerals and/or other substances, through a semi-permeable membrane.

In Reverse Osmosis, the process is literally reversed by the addition of a high pressure water pump, which forces water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane, filtering out heavier agents within the water. Next it is sifted through a carbon filter, which is especially helpful in removing harmful chlorine.

Reverse Osmosis does an excellent job of removing contaminants from the water, even smaller than one micron. What’s particularly attractive about the RO system is that it generally removes a more expansive list of contaminants than other carbon, faucet or pitcher systems, like nitrates, sodium, and other dissolved inorganic and organic compounds.

The result? Fresh, pure, delicious tasting water!

Your Reverse Osmosis System

Typically, an RO system is designed to filter and store water in a reservoir tank located beneath the faucet, accessed with a separate faucet. When you press the faucet handle for your RO system, it opens the valve, and your drinking water is filtered one final time with a carbon block "polishing filter" before it is dispensed into your glass.

Who Uses RO Systems?

Reverse Osmosis Systems are in wide use today to provide filtered water everywhere, from homes and commercial applications like restaurants, hotels, breweries, car washes, and hospitals. Some install an RO System in the kitchen only, some like to add it to the bathrooms in the home, and still others enjoy a total home system. It’s interesting to note that all RO Systems work the same way. Most even look alike, with the same basic components. The primary difference is the quality of the filters and membranes inside the RO.
