Reverse osmosis (RO) is an advanced water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove contaminants from water. Under pressure, water molecules pass through the membrane's tiny pores, while larger molecules like dissolved salts, bacteria, and other impurities are left behind. This results in highly purified water on one side and concentrated waste water on the other.

Reverse osmosis provides several key benefits: 1) Removes up to 99% of contaminants, including heavy metals, chlorine, and harmful microorganisms. 2) Improves taste and odor of water by eliminating chemicals and minerals that affect flavor. 3) Reduces the risk of waterborne diseases by removing bacteria and viruses. 4) Eliminates the need for bottled water, saving money and reducing plastic waste. 5) Provides clean, safe water for drinking, cooking, and other household uses.

While RO systems offer many benefits, there are a few considerations to keep in mind: 1) They can remove beneficial minerals along with contaminants, though our system's remineralization stage addresses this issue. 2) Traditional RO systems can waste water during the filtration process, though our efficient design minimizes this. 3) They require regular maintenance and filter replacements, but our system makes this process simple and infrequent. 4) Initial installation cost can be higher than basic filtration systems, but the long-term benefits and water quality improvements often outweigh this.

Reverse osmosis is highly effective at removing a wide range of contaminants, including: 1) Dissolved salts and minerals like sodium, chloride, copper, chromium, and lead. 2) Chemicals such as chlorine, fluoride, nitrates, and sulfates. 3) Microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. 4) Organic compounds like pesticides, herbicides, and pharmaceuticals. 5) Particulate matter such as rust, silt, and other suspended solids. Our American-Made 6 Stage Alkaline Reverse Osmosis System goes even further by also removing PFOA/PFAS and thousands of other contaminants, providing you with the purest, safest water possible.
