Why Reverse Osmosis Removes Contaminants: How RO Water Filtration Works

Reverse osmosis membrane removing contaminants from drinking water

Why Reverse Osmosis Removes Contaminants: 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 […]
