What is RO and how does it work ?

Reverse osmosis is a process in which water is forced through semi-permeable material to remove all the impurities and dirt. This whole process is very beneficial to remove all the virus, bacteria and other microorganisms. These RO membranes are so small that they can even remove all the dissolved salts.
