How Does a Residential Reverse Osmosis System Work?

Reverse osmosis is one of the most commonly used water treatment technologies. Most people have heard of it, and some even use it. If you have also heard of it but want to know more about a residential RO system before installing one at your home, then you are on the right webpage. Here you can learn how a residential reverse osmosis system works, and it will probably tell you why you should get one.

What is Reverse Osmosis System?

Before diving into residential RO systems, you need to understand what a reverse osmosis system is. Simply put, it is a system that uses the reverse osmosis technique to purify water.

Raw water is passed through a semi-permeable membrane via the use of pressure so that contaminants can be eliminated from the water. The purified water then passes to the storage tank, from where it can be consumed directly.

What is a SEMI-PERMEABLE MEMBRANE?

Well, it is a component that contains several tiny pores which allow only water molecules to pass through. The size of these pores is exceedingly small, and hence, most impurities can’t pass through them. To make it simpler, it won’t let even a human hair strand pass through it.

What is the Use of a Reverse Osmosis System?

The key aim of a reverse osmosis system is to offer pure, contamination-free, odorless, tasteless, colorless, and healthy drinking water. The process is completely automatic and works over and over again. It can help protect from the spread of water-borne illnesses. It also removes Herbicides & Pesticides from water. It can also help make the water soft.

How Does a Residential Reverse Osmosis System Work?

A residential reverse osmosis system is meant for household use. The house can consist of just one room or multiple rooms. One needs to buy the system according to the water needs of a house and all its members.

The functioning of a residential RO system is quite simple. An external force will push the tap water to pass through the semi-permeable membrane in an RO system. It will remove contaminants from water. It will also lead to the elimination of dissolved inorganic substances from the water.

A residential RO system will generally have pre- and post-RO filters. The pre-filter helps eliminate some impurities (like dirt, dust, etc.) before the water comes in contact with the semi-permeable membrane. In contrast, the post-filter helps make water healthier and tastier.

Stages of a Residential Reverse Osmosis System

There are several residential RO systems available in the market with different stages. It starts from a 3-stage RO system and goes to ten stages. Most stages have different filters that play an important role in the process. Some of the most commonly used filters are:

  • Sediment Filter

As mentioned above, this filter removes dirt, dust, and rust from the water.

  • Carbon Filter

This filter reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine, and other contaminants.

  • UF Membrane

This membrane removes slightly larger-sized particles from the water. It also eliminates bacteria and other microbes.

  • Semi-Permeable Membrane

This can eliminate up to 98% of water’s total dissolved salts or TDS.

  • UV Membrane

This is essential for killing and suspending the growth of the microbes that are usually present in the tap water

  • TDS Controller

In this stage, minerals are added to the water to attain desirable TDS.

Types of Impurities a Residential Reverse Osmosis System Can Eliminate

A residential reverse osmosis system can remove several types of impurities. They include but are not limited to salts, fluoride, sediment, arsenic, chlorine, VOCs, pesticides, herbicides, leads, etc.

What are the Advantages/Benefits of a Residential Reverse Osmosis System

There are many advantages/ benefits of a residential reverse osmosis system. Some of them are mentioned here.

  • It can eliminate as much as 98% of the TDS to make water safe for drinking.
  • It can eliminate harmful contaminants from water.
  • An RO system is more environment-friendly than bottled water as the plastic waste is minimal or even non-existent in some cases.
  • It is a space-savvy product that can be designed to fit any small space. You can fit it beneath a kitchen sink too.
