How a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System Works

Reverse osmosis is a multi-stage water treatment process that removes contaminants from unfiltered water. This type of filtration system uses a semipermeable membrane with very small pores that trap contaminants while water is pushed through.

Residential reverse osmosis systems utilize a minimum of 3 stages of water treatment to reduce a large number of contaminants.

A reverse osmosis system initially removes sediment and chlorine from water with a prefilter before it forces the water through the semipermeable membrane to remove dissolved solids. The water then passes through a post filter before entering a dedicated faucet.
