everse osmosis (RO) is commonly used as the filtration method to remove many types of dissolved solids (large molecules and ions) from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. This water purification process uses a partially permeable membrane to separate ions, unwanted molecules and larger particles from water. In reverse osmosis, an applied pressure is used to overcome osmotic pressure, removing many types of dissolved and suspended chemical species as well as biological ones (principally bacteria) from water. This method is used in both industrial processes and even the production of potable water. It is known to remove harmful materials such as lead or other contaminants, and is one of the best purified water options available for general use.
Our R/O water bottles are convenient and work great for up-keeping your aquarium - with regular tank water changes or even setting up a new tank! R/O water has also been known to be used for certain picky plants - such as carnivorous plants or terrarium plants that need low mineral content. It can also be utilized for other pets' habitats such as turtles, toads, and axolotls!
