Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water treatment method that removes contaminants by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane. It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications to improve water quality by removing impurities such as dissolved solids, bacteria, and heavy metals. RO systems are effective for producing purified water for drinking, cooking, and certain manufacturing processes. The system typically includes pre-filters, the RO membrane, and a post-filter, with regular maintenance, such as changing filters and sanitizing components, being essential for optimal performance and water purity.
