How the Reverse Osmosis System Works:
•A semi permeable membrane in a reverse osmosis system only allows certain things to pass through.
•This membrane passes water easily but also prevents many other contaminants from passing by trapping them.
Water is normally on both sides of the membrane, the water on each side has a different concentration
of dissolved minerals.
• The water in the less concentrated solution tries to dilute the more concentrated solution.
•Water will passthrough the membrane from the lower concentration side to the greater concentration side.
•The osmotic pressure createdby the difference in water levels, will counterthe diffusion process forming
an equilibrium between the two sides.
