How Does Reverse Osmosis (RO) Work?

A. RO works by passing water through a semi-permeable membrane that separates the pure water into one stream and the salt water into another stream. The process is called “reverse osmosis” because it requires pressure to force pure water across a membrane, leaving the impurities behind.

The RO process utilizes a semi-permeable membrane that has the ability to remove and reject a wide spectrum of impurities from the water using only water pressure.
