Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective technologies available for reducing a wide range of contaminants from drinking water. But why does reverse osmosis remove contaminants when ordinary filters cannot? The answer lies in the way an RO system combines pressure, a semipermeable membrane, selective separation, and multiple stages of filtration. Unlike a conventional […]

Microbial Contaminants in Drinking Water: Bacteria, Viruses, and Parasites
Clean drinking water is essential for good health, but water can sometimes contain microbial contaminants—microscopic organisms capable of causing illness. These contaminants include bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and other microorganisms. Microbial contamination is particularly important because even relatively small amounts of some disease-causing organisms can create a health risk. EPA states that for microbial contaminants that […]
