How Does Reverse Osmosis Work?
The process of reverse osmosis forces water with a greater concentration of contaminants (the source water) into a tank containing water with an extremely low concentration of contaminants (the processed water). High water pressure on the source side is used to "reverse" the natural osmoc process, with the semi‐permeable membrane sll perming the passage of water while rejecting most of the other contaminants. The specific process through which this occurs is called ion exclusion, in which a concentration of ions at the membrane surface from a barrier that allows other water molecules to pass through while excluding other substances.
Semipermeable membranes have come a long way from the natural pig bladders used in the earlier osmosis experiments. Before the 1960's, these membranes were too inefficient, expensive, and unreliable for practical applications outside the laboratory. Modern advances in synthetic materials have generally solved these problems, allowing membranes to become highly efficient at rejection contaminants, and making them tough enough to withstand the greater pressures necessary for efficient operation.
Even with these advances, the "reject" water on the source side of a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system must be periodically flushed in order to keep it from becoming so concentrated that it forms a scale on the membrane itself. RO systems also typically require a carbon pre filter for the reduction of chlorine, which can damage an RO membrane; and a sediment pre filter is always required to ensure that fine suspended materials in the source water do not permanently clog the membrane. Hardness reduction, either through the use of water seasoning for residential units or chemical seasoning for industrial use, may also be desirable in hard water areas.
What Reverse Osmosis Treats:
Reverse osmosis can treat for a wide variety of health and aesthetic contaminants. Effectively designed, RO equipment can treat for a wide variety of aesthetic contaminants that cause unpleasant taste, color, and odor problems like a salty or soda taste caused by chlorides or sulfates.****

Four High Performance Filtration Stages...
Stage 1
The Sediment/Carbon Pre filter protects the automatic shut–off and membrane from clogging with debris, but also filters out chlorine, to protect the refined T.F.C. membrane.
Stage 2
Reverse Osmosis. This is the heart of the system. Most particles too small to be trapped by the pre filter are removed by the T.F.C. membrane, reducing unwanted contaminants from the water stream.
Stage 3
The R.O. water is then routed to an Activated Carbon Filter, where the water flows through the filter very slowly to achieve prolonged contact with this specialized carbon.
Stage 4
The final stage of filtration, an Inline Carbon Filter, removes any remaining tastes and odors before the water reaches your glass, adding a final “polish” to your filtered water.
