Understanding Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filtration Systems

RO stands for Reverse Osmosis. It is a water filtration process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove impurities from water. The membrane has tiny pores that allow water molecules to pass through, but block larger particles and dissolved solids. This results in water that is nearly free of dissolved solids and other impurities.

RO systems typically include a pre-filter to remove larger particles and a post-filter to improve the taste of the water. They also require regular maintenance to ensure proper function and extend the life of the membrane.

RO systems are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings for drinking water, wastewater treatment, and other applications where high-quality water is needed.
