Description And Use

Reverse Osmosis is a process that forces, by the application of pressure, the water to pass through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects heavy metals, salts, and inorganic compounds. This includes the naturally occurring minerals.

Reverse osmosis is often used in commercial and residential water filtration. It is also one of the methods used to desalinate seawater. Sometimes reverse osmosis is used to purify liquids in which water is an undesirable impurity.
