A reverse osmosis drinking water system typically combines an RO module with particulate and activated carbon filters to reduce a wide range of substances from tap water. The particulate filter is used to reduce larger particles such as dirt, sand, and rust suspended in the water which could clog the membrane of the RO module. The activated carbon filter reduces unpleasant tastes and odors as well as chlorine. The RO module reduces the amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the water. Included in this TDS group are heavy metals and inorganic substances such as sodium, lead, arsenic, nitrates, asbestos, and many others. Some organic substances are also reduced. A final activated carbon filter is added to polish the taste of the water as it is dispensed. Remember that these substances are not necessarily in your water.
