Removing TDS from water

Reverse Osmosis remove TDS by forcing the water, under pressure, through a synthetic membrane. The membrane contains microscopic pores which will allow only molecules smaller than 0.0001 micron to pass through. Since the molecules of dissolved metals and salts are large compared to the water molecules, the water will squeeze through the membrane leaving the metals and salts behind.

A professional Reverse Osmosis system is capable of removing 90-99% of the dissolved mineral salts from water. A pre-filter is usually required to protect the membrane and remove organics
