We all require clean water, and reverse osmosis filtration is a great way to get good clean water. Reverse osmosis is a way to get pure water at a reasonable price. The cost of a reverse filtration system is reasonable, and the systems are available in a wide rang of styles. There are counter top models, an under sink system with its own faucet, or a whole-house system that will provide treated water to every tap.

Reverse osmosis filtration systems are really a combination of several water treatment methods, including reverse osmosis. A typical system works like this:
n
First – A sediment pre-filter takes out the heavy material, including particulate matter from the outright evil and dangerous to merely annoying and filter-clogging.
n
Second – A second carbon filter removes chemicals and contaminates that make water unpleasant and might also damage the RO filter membrane.
n
Third – Then comes the reverse osmosis filter itself. This works by forcing the pre-treated water through a semi-permeable membrane, filtering out anything larger than a water molecule.
n
Last – There may be a final filtration through activated carbon, which is to assure sparkling clean great-tasting water.

There are many choices in water treatment systems available. It would be a good idea to contact your local plumbing pro. A qualified water treatment system professional will be able to advise you on which water treatment system will be perfect for you.
