Why Do I Need A Reverse Osmosis System ?
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis sometimes referred to as hyper-filtration, is the process of removing water impurities by forcing the water through a semi-permeable membrane. Naturally, liquids will flow from the direction of the diluted solution to the concentrated (osmosis). A reverse osmosis water system will allow for the removal of impurities such as salts and other molecules.
How Does a Reverse Osmosis System Work?
There’s no denying it, water treated through a reverse-osmosis system tastes great! But how does this magic happen? While the process seems complicated, it’s actually quite simple.
Whether your water comes from the city or a well, contaminants from the ground and through general processing can end up in your water supply. Reverse Osmosis filters employ a high-to-low pressure system. Contaminated water enters a high-pressure chamber then is forced toward the low-presser chamber on the opposite side of the filter. The filter is equipped with holes too small for contaminates to fit through allowing only clean water molecules through to the other side.
