If you’re looking to produce fresh H2O at home, the reverse osmosis drinking water system is one of the best ways to do it. This process works by filtering out unwanted contaminants to produce pure, satisfying water. For further insight into how this system works, here’s a helpful guide.

Guide to the Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System

Reverse Osmosis Process

Reserve osmosis is a water purification process that removes unwanted elements and particles from drinking water. This process works when pressure is applied to salt water. The salt and other dissolved contaminants will be filtered out, allowing fresh water to pass through the opposite side.

How a Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System Works

This system involves a multi-step filtration process, consisting of three, four, or five stages. Before the reverse osmosis drinking water system is applied, water is forced through a membrane under pressure. In the pre-filtration phase, a carbon block filter will help preserve this membrane, which can become clogged by excess sediment and chlorine. It will remove this sediment, some of the chlorine, and dissolve some solids as well.

After the first filtration, the water will pass through a post filter to remove any remaining contaminants that may have skirted past the membrane. Next, the water will fill a storage tank until it’s ready for drinking. The system also has an in-line activated carbon filter, which removes any remaining compounds before the water flows from your faucet.

Contaminants That the Reverse Osmosis System Removes

A reverse osmosis drinking water system removes several impurities from water. This includes salt, sediment, chlorine, arsenic, fluoride, herbicides, pesticides, lead, arsenic, copper, radium, barium, and cadmium. While reverse osmosis removes some germs from your system, bacteria could potentially form on the membrane and enter the water supply. If needed, this can be addressed separately with UV disinfection.
