The reverse osmosis system
The way that a reverse osmosis system works is that it creates two areas of pressure within the freshwater pipes. Separating the two areas of pressure is a semi-permeable membrane. The pressure difference forces the water coming in from the municipal supply side through this membrane, which is capable of trapping extremely small particles of contamination, including heavy metal minerals, arsenic, and chlorine, which are among the more common water pollutants. Reverse osmosis systems are sometimes paired up with water softeners to prevent too much sodium from entering the water because of the softening process.
You should consider a reverse osmosis system if the contamination in your freshwater supply is unaffected by standard absorption filters. A professional can test you water to determine what pollutants are present and then tell you if a reverse osmosis filtration system is what is necessary to remove them.
You must also rely on a professional to install the new system. A poorly done installation job can result in a drop in water pressure throughout your plumbing. Reverse osmosis systems are complex devices, so always leave any service one may need to experienced water treatment experts.
