Reverse osmosis and Membranes
Osmosis is a natural process by which fresh water flows though a
semi-permeable membrane to combine with salt water. Reverse osmosis
works on the same principle by applying high pressure of approximately
800 PSI to the salt water thus reversing the flow.
When the salt water of contaminated water is forced though the
membrane 98.5% or more of its salt contaminates and pollutants are
left behind. To filter out these dissolved solids the membrane pores
must be smaller than the solids, in fact so tiny they can only be
seen though and election microscope.
The product water is much purer and softer than most tap water
and means food and beverages made with this water taste better.
Ice cubes are crystal clear and surfaces washed with the water are
dry stop free.
