What is RO

Anyone who has been through a high school science class will likely be familiar with the term osmosis. The process was first described by a French Scientist in 1748, who noted that water spontaneously diffused through a pig bladder membrane into alcohol. Over 200 years later, a modification of this process known as reverse osmosis allows people throughout the world to affordably convert undesirable water into water that is virtually free of health or aesthetic contaminants. Reverse osmosis systems can be found providing treated water from the kitchen counter in a private residence to installations used in manned spacecraft.

Reverse Osmosis is a technology that is found virtually anywhere pure water is needed; common uses include:

Drinking Water
Humidification
Ice-Making
Car Wash Water Reclamation
Rinse Waters
Biomedical Applications
Laboratory Applications
Photography
Pharmaceutical Production
Kidney Dialysis
