HOW THE REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE WORKS
The water molecule is the smallest molecule of all existing substances. The pores of the
membrane are just large enough to allow only water molecules to pass through.
The membrane removes up to 99% of all foreign substances from the water, including sub-
stances such as heavy metals, nitrate, and various pharmaceutical residues.
They are then fl ushed directly back into the wastewater.
This is what makes our fi ltration process special!
