THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WATER SOFTENER AND A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM
Water softeners and reverse osmosis (RO) systems both treat water, but they do so in different ways and for different purposes: Water Softeners. Water Softeners reduce water hardness caused by minerals like magnesium and calcium through a process known as ion exchange. As the water filters through a medium of resin (small sand-like beads), the […]
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a popular water filtration process that can remove up to 99.99% of specific contaminants. RO is utilized in recycling and wastewater treatment, as well as consumer water filtration systems, whereby a semi-permeable membrane captures the smallest particles in your drinking water . Normal tap water does not have a filter and […]
