When it comes to ensuring safe, great-tasting water in your home, not all solutions are created equal. While pitcher filters and fridge attachments offer minimal filtration, they can’t compete with the advanced technology behind reverse osmosis drinking water systems. These systems are designed to eliminate a wide range of contaminants from your tap water, giving you peace of mind every time you fill your glass.
At Culligan of Red Wing, we help families in Red Wing, MN, enjoy cleaner, healthier water through professionally installed reverse osmosis drinking water systems. Whether you’re concerned about lead, chlorine, pharmaceuticals, or just want better-tasting water, reverse osmosis (RO) is a proven, affordable solution that works behind the scenes to keep your family safe and hydrated.
So, how does it work? Let’s break it down step-by-step.
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that uses pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane. This membrane is designed to trap harmful contaminants while allowing only clean water molecules to pass through. The result? Pure, refreshing water that’s free from the unpleasant taste and health risks associated with unfiltered tap water.
Reverse osmosis drinking water systems are used in homes, businesses, and even in bottled water facilities for their unmatched performance and reliability.
The Four Stages of Reverse Osmosis Filtration
1. Pre-Filtration
Before water reaches the reverse osmosis membrane, it first goes through a pre-filtration process. This step includes a sediment filter and an activated carbon filter. These filters work together to remove larger particles like dirt, rust, and sand, while also reducing chlorine, pesticides, and other harmful chemicals.
Pre-filtration not only makes the water safer, it also protects the delicate membrane that comes next, helping your reverse osmosis drinking water system last longer.
2. Reverse Osmosis
Now comes the heart of the system. Pressurized water is pushed through the semipermeable membrane, which catches microscopic contaminants such as lead, mercury, chromium, nitrates, and even some bacteria and viruses. This stage is where reverse osmosis drinking water systems shine. The water that passes through is stripped of nearly all impurities.
3. Drainage
The contaminants removed during the reverse osmosis stage are flushed away through a separate drainage line. This ensures that harmful substances are completely removed from your water supply and not simply collected or stored.
4. Storage and Final Polishing
Once filtered, the clean water is stored in a holding tank. Before it comes out of your faucet, it passes through one final activated carbon filter. This polishing filter improves taste and clarity, giving you water that’s crisp, fresh, and delicious.
Culligan’s reverse osmosis drinking water systems can be customized with up to 12 interchangeable filters, tailored to your home’s unique water challenges.
