How Does Reverse Osmosis Work? Well, we’re glad you asked.
Reverse Osmosis uses what is called a MEMBRANE, to split the water from its contaminants and send all the purified water into a storage container or a glass for drinking.
The membrane is semi-permeable, which means water molecules can pass through it while acting as a barrier to dissolved solids. The pores of a Reverse Osmosis Water Filter are much smaller than the pores of a general Benchtop or Under Sink Water Filter.
