What is reverse osmosis water filtration?
RO systems are made up of multiple stages of filtration to remove sediments and contaminants that affect the taste, smell, appearance and safety of your water.
The focal point of a reverse osmosis system is the RO membrane, a porous film that allows water to flow through at high pressure while restricting organic compounds.
Within an RO system are additional prefilters and postfilters, located before and after the membrane. Prefilters remove sediment like dirt, dust and rust that can damage the RO membrane and postfilters remove dissolved solids and chemicals that impact the taste and smell of your water.
