What, Exactly, is Reverse Osmosis?

Not sure which way to go? Let’s break down your options.

Remove impurities from your water the size of an atom.

At its most basic level, RO is a process to remove impurities – like foreign contaminants, minerals, and solid substances – from water by pushing the water through specialized semipermeable membranes. The membrane has small holes that block contaminants, but allow water molecules to pass through – leaving you with water that’s completely purified. RO systems, like Pura Fresh, also remove sediment and chlorine from the water before the water gets pushed through the semipermeable membrane. Then, the water that’s been treated is stored in a small tank until you use it.

Common Contaminants 

So what kind of contaminants do you need to remove from your tap water?

Almost all water contains traces of minerals, contaminants, impurities, and even microorganisms. While the water coming out of your tap has been treated to meet safety standards at a treatment plant, it can pick up new contaminants on the way to your house, like:

• Silt
• Sediment
• Water main buildup
• Metal particles from corroded pipes
• Sediment buildup from your hot water tank
