What is an RO membrane?

An RO membrane is a semi-permeable barrier used in Reverse Osmosis systems to filter out impurities from water. It works by allowing water molecules to pass through while blocking contaminants such as dissolved salts, heavy metals, and harmful chemicals. This process ensures that the water you drink is free from toxins and safe for daily use. The RO membrane is integral to water purification systems, providing a reliable solution for households and businesses seeking clean drinking water.
