Reverse osmosis
Reverse osmosis
Osmosis, a process involving the passage (diffusion) of fluid molecules from a solution of lower concentration, to a solution of higher concentration.
Reverse osmosis, on the other hand, is the process of reversing the above. The flow of molecules occurs from a solution of higher concentration, to a solution of lower concentration.
Initially, reverse osmosis was used primarily in the desalination of seawater. Quickly, however, the process found application in other areas as well. As an extremely effective way to remove or significantly reduce contaminants, it is used to treat industrial wastewater.
It is also the most effective water treatment method today, used by bottled water producers and, thanks to the increasingly popular tap water treatment filters, it has also become a popular water treatment method for domestic use.
The process of water purification involves passing water through the membrane of an osmotic filter. The water is "squeezed" through the semi-permeable membrane. There is a flow of water molecules from a solution of higher concentration, i.e. contaminated water, to a solution of lower concentration - water without contaminants.

We can divide professional water purification equipment into:
- Demineralizers - water treatment devices operating under the pressure of the water supply network (also industrial systems)
- Distillers - equipment used to purify water through a process of evaporation, followed by condensation of the purified water
