How does an RO system work?
Pressure is the key-driving factor for an RO system to function properly. An RO system incorporates semi- permeable membranes that allow pure water molecules under the right pressure conditions to pass through them while rejecting all other contaminants. The amount of pressure needed depends on the type of fluid to be purified. For example, seawater requires a pressure in the range of 600 to 1,200 psi (83 Bars) to force the pure water molecules to pass through the membrane while brackish water only requires about 100 psi (7 Bar) pressure.
