What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from drinking water. It's one of the most effective methods for producing clean, pure water.
How RO Works
Water is pushed through a membrane that has very tiny pores. Only water molecules can pass through, while contaminants are left behind and flushed away.
Benefits of RO Systems
- Removes up to 99% of dissolved contaminants
- Eliminates bacteria and viruses
- Improves taste and odor
- Reduces sodium levels
- No chemicals needed
Considerations
While RO systems are highly effective, they do have some considerations to keep in mind, including water waste during the filtration process and the need for regular membrane replacement.
Is RO Right for You?
RO systems are ideal for homes with specific water quality concerns, particularly where chemical contaminants or high dissolved solids are present. Contact us for a water test to determine if RO is the best solution for your home.
