What can be removed by Reverse Osmosis?


The most important feature of this reverse osmosis system is its membrane. The membrane consists of several layers or sheets of film that are bonded together and rolled in a spiral configuration. The size of the membrane’s pores are 0,0001 of a micron. The material of the membrane is semi-permeable. This allows water molecules pass though while acting as a barrier to dissolved solids, viruses and bacteria. The remaining contaminants are concentrated and washed from the surface of the membrane down the drain.
