What is Reverse Osmosis?
Osmosis is a process found in all biological systems and results in water from a dilute solution passing spontaneously through a semi-permeable membrane into a more concentrated solution on the other side. Reverse Osmosis is a process that achieves this separation of dissolved salts and impurities from a water solution by means of pressure exerted on a semi-permeable membrane.
Principles of Reverse Osmosis
The process of reverse osmosis represents the finest level of liquid filtration available today. Although the term sounds mysterious, reverse osmosis isn’t really that complicated.
While ordinary liquid filters use a screen to separate particles from water streams, a Reverse Osmosis system employs a semi-permeable membrane that separates an extremely high percentage of unwanted molecules. The membrane is a thin, multi-layered sheet that allows water molecules to pass through while acting as a barrier to dissolved solids like salts and other chemicals.
