With a reverse osmosis water filter in your home, you can turn tap water into clean, clear drinking water. Here’s a closer look at exactly how these water filters make this happen:
- Pre-filtration — When water first goes through a reverse osmosis system, it starts by traveling through the sediment filter, where dirt, sand, rust, and other large particles are removed. Then, the water goes through the carbon filter, where chlorine, chloramines, and VOCs are absorbed to improve the taste of the water.
- RO membrane — Next, the water goes through a semi-permeable membrane, which can block contaminants down to 0.0001 microns. This part of the process removes arsenic, fluoride, nitrates, PFAs, and bacteria and viruses. At this point, only pure water molecules pass through to the next stage.
- Post-filtration — Once water passes through the RO membrane, the carbon post-filter polishes the water, making it crisp and clean.
- Storage tank — This purified water is then stored in a pressurized tank, so it’s instantly available when you turn on the faucet.
- Delivery — When you turn on the faucet, you’ll receive filtered water that goes straight into your glass.
