In nature, osmosis occurs when a liquid with a low level of dissolved solids passes through a semi-permeable membrane into a liquid with a higher level of dissolved solids.
This process continues until the pressure on both sides of the membrane is equalized.
Reverse osmosis is the opposite of this naturally occurring osmotic process.

In reverse osmosis, the natural forces of osmosis are reversed.
Using man induced pressure, water with a higher concentration of dissolved solids is forced through a membrane into water with a lower concentration of dissolved solids.
The semi-permeable membranes used in reverse osmosis only allow the passage of water molecules and trap contaminants. The end result is high quality water.

The reverse osmosis process makes use of a semi-permeable membrane that removes up to 99% of dissolved minerals.
Reverse osmosis membranes are typically made up of 3 layers that provide:• A High Filtration Rate• High Durability• Excellent Filtering Properties.
