What is reverse osmosis?

One of the most effective and cost-efficient home water treatment systems available today uses a process called reverse osmosis (RO). RO systems, usually compact units installed under the sink, produce high-quality water perfect for use in drinking, cooking, and making ice cubes.

How effective is Reverse Osmosis in improving water quality?
RO is very effective in reducing a range of home water contaminants. This is possible because the Reverse Osmosis membrane is comprised of microscopic pores which allow the pressurized water molecules, among the smallest molecules known to man, to pass through the membrane. Large molecules, compounds containing contaminants, and even dissolved ions are left behind.

Who should consider purchasing an RO system?
Anyone concerned about the quality of their home drinking water-particularly if they notice taste or odor problems or are aware of high levels of dissolved minerals in their water supplies.
