<p style="text-align:left">Perhaps, you are interested in buying an RO water filter, but you don’t know what exactly that means. I get it, Reverse Osmosis sounds like a term from science class that you just nod along with pretending to understand. But, before we go to the nitty-gritty details of Reverse Osmosis, let’s briefly discuss what Osmosis is:</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"left"} -->
<p style="text-align:left">Osmosis,
in layman’s term, is a process where a less salty solution will migrate to a
saltier solution. Now, imagine that there is a semi-permeable membrane or some
sort of screen between the solutions. When the less salty solution moves toward
the more saline solution, this membrane will serve as a filter allowing other
molecules to pass while blocking the others—like a strainer!</p>

<p style="text-align:left">Reverse Osmosis (RO) is, well, Osmosis in reversed: the saltier solution is pushed towards the less saline solution. So, technically speaking, Reverse Osmosis uses energy to force saltwater through the semi-permeable membrane towards the freshwater. Reverse Osmosis works by using a high-pressure pump to increase the pressure on the salt side of the RO and force the water across the semi-permeable RO membrane, leaving up to 99% of dissolved salts or ions, particles, colloids, organics, and bacteria in the reject stream.</p>

<p style="text-align:left">It
is also important to note that Reverse Osmosis System does not use regular
filtration process where the contaminants are removed from the filter media. Instead,
it uses cross-filtration process wherein there are two outlets: </p>

<p style="text-align:left">The contaminated water goes one way and the filtered water goes the other. This process sweeps away contaminant build-up and allows enough turbulence to keep the membrane surface clean.</p>

<p style="text-align:left">Reverse Osmosis is very effective for salt, surface, and groundwater. It works in both small and large water flow applications.
