Here’s where it gets wild: the membrane has pores so small, you can’t even see them with a regular microscope. We’re talking 0.0001 microns. For scale, a human hair is about 50 microns wide.
So, imagine trying to shove a basketball through a keyhole. That’s what a salt molecule or a heavy metal feels like trying to get past this membrane. It’s basically impossible.
This isn’t just a simple filter; it’s a physical barrier. It removes things like fluoride, nitrates, arsenic, and even some microscopic bacteria. Your water comes out scarily clean.
But... Doesn't It Taste Weird?
That’s the funny thing. Pure water doesn’t actually have a strong taste. When you first drink RO water, it might feel “flat” or empty because your tap water was so full of minerals and chlorine.
