2.2 How does the membrane of your system work?
The water that is going to be purified exerts pressure on the
semi-permeable membrane, to the extent that part of the
same is able to pass through the pores of the membrane
(reverse osmosis water), while the remainder of the water
(rejected water or that with high concentrations of salt) are
diverted to the drainpipe.
Given that the diameter of the membrane pores are less
than 0.0001 microns, only the water molecules and a certain
amount of minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.)
are able to get through, eliminating the excess minerals that
our body does not need, as well as the bacteria, heavy met-
als, pesticides, chemical products, etc.
2.3 Concentration of salts and other substances
reduced by the reverse osmosis membrane
The chemical composition and concentration of salts and
other substances of the water on entering the reverse osmosis
system has an affect on the purified water.
The TFC reverse osmosis membrane of your PROLINE PLUS
Series system can reduce the concentration of the elements
and compounds, among others, outlined in the following tables

2.4 The effect of pressure and temperature in a
reverse osmosis system
The membrane usually rejects more than 95% of salts, however
the percentage may vary depending on the quality of the water,
the temperature and pressure.
