What Does a Reverse Osmosis Filter Actually Do?

Monday, July 30th, 2018

Water treatment system installation and service is an important job that more and more plumbers are providing for their customers. Homeowners are more concerned than ever about pollutants that may be in their fresh drinking water, and thankfully there are numerous methods available to filter and purify the water coming into a home through the municipal water lines.

The difficult part of water treatment for a home is finding the right treatment system. One popular type is the reverse osmosis filter. It’s not ideal for all circumstances, but a professionally installed RO filter can remove many types of minute impurities: lead, fluoride, nitrates, sulfates, chlorine, chloramine, and pesticides. RO filters are also useful to pair with water softeners to prevent too much sodium from entering the water.
