RO, A treatment technology used to remove inorganic contaminants, where water with a low level of total dissolved solids passes through a semipermeable membrane into a solution containing a higher level of total dissolved solids; pump pressure is applied to the concentrated solution causing it to flow back across the membrane.

This is a purification method for tap-water. Prefiltered tap water is pushed through a reverse osmosis membrane. Water that makes it through is considered pure, while water that does not, is sent through a special tube and is rendered impure. As it relies on water which is able to pass through the membrane, it also generates a large quantity of "waste" water which cannot be used. This is one of the best, but slowest methods of tap water purification. ...

A water treatment method used to remove dissolved inorganic chemicals and suspended particulate matter from a water supply. Water, under pressure, is forced through a semi-permeable membrane that removes molecules larger than the pores of the membrane.
