Reverse osmosis is a filtration process that removes impurities from water by forcing it through a semipermeable membrane. This membrane blocks contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, salts, and chemicals, allowing only pure water to pass through.

Water purification systems remove contaminants that can affect health, such as lead, nitrates, chlorine, pesticides and microorganisms. This results in safer water for drinking and cooking, reducing the risk of illnesses related to contaminated water.

Yes, water purification systems require regular maintenance, including replacement of filters and membranes according to the manufacturer's recommendations, typically every 6 to 12 months for filters and 2 to 3 years for the membrane.

Reverse osmosis systems can remove a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals (such as lead and mercury), salts, fluoride, chlorine, arsenic, nitrates, pesticides, and microorganisms (bacteria and viruses).

Yes, purified water is safe for most people. However, some people may prefer to add minerals to the water after the reverse osmosis process, as it also removes beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

If your water contains high levels of contaminants, tastes or smells bad, or if you simply want to ensure the purity of your drinking water, a water purification system may be a good investment. Performing a water analysis can help you decide.

Yes, reverse osmosis water often tastes purer and fresher due to the removal of chlorine and other contaminants that can affect the taste.

Reverse osmosis generates reject water, which can be 3 to 5 times the amount of purified water. However, the UNI-K model guarantees zero waste of water, since it is reused and filtered again.
