Your home\u2019s water is forced through the membrane at a high rate of speed, which leaves contaminants and particulates on one side of the membrane and fresh, clean water on the other. The cleaned water is kept in a separate tank that feeds the plumbing system in your home.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Be Point-of-Use or Whole Home<\/h3>\n<p>One of the benefits of a reverse osmosis system is that you can choose to use this type of water treatment system to work on a whole home basis or point-of-use on a specific sink or faucet. While we recommend using the whole home method, point-of-use can be helpful if you only want to use this type of system at a single outlet.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Benefits<\/h3>\n<p>The other benefits a RO offers include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Effectively removes over 99% of contaminants and particulates<\/li>\n<li>Needs minimal maintenance as there aren\u2019t any filters to change<\/li>\n<li>Removes odors so water and ice taste fresh and have no smell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Interested to see what a reverse osmosis system can do for your home in Newtown, PA?
