The Wonder of Reverse Osmosis
In simple terms, osmosis is the process of minerals in water being equally distributed throughout a container of water.
Now, reverse osmosis does the opposite - it is the process of separating minerals from pure water, using a semi-permeable membrane to separate and remove dissolved solids, organics, pyrogens, submicron colloidal matter, viruses and bacteria from water. The process is called "reverse" osmosis since it requires pressure to force pure water across a membrane, leaving the impurities behind. Reverse Osmosis is capable of removing 95%-99% of the total dissolved solids (TDS) and 99% of all bacteria, thus providing safe, pure water.
