What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology is widely regarded as one of the most efficient water filtration methods, providing clean, great-tasting drinking water. RO systems are widely used in a variety of applications, including whole-house water use, tap terminals, the restaurant industry, and aquariums. No matter what aspect of water quality you are concerned about, there is always an RO system that can meet your needs. What Is Osmosis? Remember high school biology? Osmosis is when water moves from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one through a semi-permeable membrane. It’s how plants drink through their roots. What Makes It Reverse? Now flip that idea. Reverse osmosis pushes water from a more concentrated solution to a less concentrated one using pressure. The key? That semi-permeable membrane that acts like a microscopic bouncer—letting in only the clean H₂O and blocking out everything else. What Contaminants Can Reverse Osmosis (RO) Remove?
