A. Reverse Osmosis (R.O.), is a process in which water is forced through a semipermeable membrane. Openings in the membrane are small enough to hold back most dissolved minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, flouride and chloride. The process is relatively new for home use and has become widely available since about 1980.
