Reverse Osmosis Can Provide Clean and Safe Water to Your Home in PA

Water that contains bacteria, sediment, salt, chemicals, heavy metals, and other contaminants can be unpleasant to drink – yuck. It can even endanger your family’s health. 

A reverse osmosis system can effectively remove several types of contaminants and provide water that’s refreshing and safe. If you’re looking for a reverse osmosis service near me, you can trust the team at Tri-County Water Services!

How Does Reverse Osmosis Work?

Osmosis is a process that occurs in nature. A less-concentrated solution naturally moves toward a more-concentrated solution to achieve a balanced state. 

Reverse osmosis causes the process to occur in reverse. A more concentrated solution passes through a semi-permeable membrane toward a less concentrated solution. The membrane lets water molecules pass through, but keeps out salt, bacteria, and other contaminants. 

Reverse osmosis forces solutions to move the opposite way they would naturally go. Pressure is required to make that happen, and the system needs energy to function. The amount of pressure needed depends on the level of contamination in the water supply.

Can a Reverse Osmosis System Get Rid of All Contaminants?

A reverse osmosis filtration system has four stages, each designed to remove different contaminants. The result is water that’s virtually free of contamination. 

While reverse osmosis can remove many potentially harmful substances from water, it can’t eliminate all of them. The semi-permeable membrane in a reverse osmosis system will reject some contaminants due to their molecular size or charge.

Is a Reverse Osmosis System Right for Your House?

Even if you get treated water from a public source, it can become contaminated as it passes through pipes on its way to your house. A reverse osmosis filtration system can remove contaminants from water before your family drinks it or uses it for cooking.
