REVERSE OSMOSIS

pure tap water systems What is Reverse Osmosis & Why is it Important?

In order to understand what reverse osmosis is, it is necessary to know what osmosis is first. Osmosis is the movement of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane into a solution of a higher concentration that tends to equalize the concentration of each solute on the two sides of the membrane. Although the definition is difficult to comprehend, try to imagine it this way. Drinking salt water can kill a person because when there is salt water in the stomach, osmotic pressure begins drawing the water out of the body to dilute the salt in your stomach in order to equalize its concentration in the stomach. So osmosis is basically the phenomenon of water flow through a semi permeable membrane that blocks the pure tap transportation of salts & other solutes through it. The process of reverse osmosis or hyper filtration, is the finest filtration known. It is capable of removing bacteria, salts, sugars, proteins, particles, dyes & other impurities from water. Basically, reverse osmosis is the process used to create bottled water.
