2.2 How does the membrane work?
Pressure is applied to the water on the inlet side of the semi
permeable membrane, so that part of it (RO water) will flow through
the pores of the membrane, while the rest of the water (water
rejected with high salt concentration) will be diverted back to the
supply pitcher to recycle and optimise performance.
Since the diameter of the pores of the membrane are less than
0.0001 microns, only water molecules and a small amount of
minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc.) will pass
through the membrane. Larger molecules will be “rejected” from
passing through the membrane.
2.3 Contaminants and other substances reduced
by reverse osmosis membrane.
The chemical composition and concentration of salts and other
substances in the inlet water will affect the water produced. The
reverse osmosis membrane of the ZIP Purifier is able to reduce the
concentration of elements and compounds listed in the following
tables, plus hundreds of others not listed.
