Mitigating the Disadvantages of Reverse Osmosis

Mitigating the Disadvantages of Reverse Osmosis

1. Mineral Re – addition

To address the problem of mineral depletion, some RO systems are now equipped with post – filtration processes that add back essential minerals to the purified water.
This can be done through the use of mineral cartridges or by adding a specific blend of minerals to the water after the RO process.

2. Energy – Efficiency Improvements

Manufacturers are constantly working on developing more energy – efficient RO systems.
Newer models are being designed with advanced pumps and membranes that require less pressure to operate, thereby reducing energy consumption.

3. Waste Water Recycling

To deal with the issue of waste water generation, there are efforts to recycle the waste water produced by RO systems.
