Pure-Aqua - manufacturing and production of Reverse Osmosis Systems - Reverse osmosis manufacturers have their hands full with juggling the demands for water treatment units and systems. For example, one company, Pure Aqua, Inc. in Southern California, handles the manufacturing and production of systems ranging from 380 GPD to 900,000 GPD on a weekly basis. From sales to production, these reverse osmosis manufacturers handle the entire water treatment process from quotation to shipment and everything in between.

Reverse osmosis manufacturers have their hands full with
juggling the demands for water treatment units and systems. For example, one
company, Pure Aqua, Inc. in Southern California, handles the manufacturing and
production of systems ranging from 380 GPD to 900,000 GPD on a weekly basis.
From sales to production, these reverse osmosis manufacturers handle the entire
water treatment process from quotation to shipment and everything in between.
According to Wikipedia.org, reverse osmosis (RO) is a
filtration method that removes many types of large molecules, particles and
ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side
of a selective membrane. The result is that the solute is retained on the
pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the
other side.
To be "selective," this membrane should not allow large
molecules or ions through the pores (holes), but should allow smaller
components of the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely.
In the normal osmosis process the solvent naturally moves
from an area of low solute concentration, through a membrane, to an area of
high solute concentration.
The movement of a pure solvent to equalize solute
concentrations on each side of a membrane generates a pressure and this is the
"osmotic pressure." Applying an external pressure to reverse the
natural flow of pure solvent, thus, is reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis
involves a diffusive mechanism so that separation efficiency is dependent on
solute concentration, pressure, and water flux rate.
Systems that use this technology have the potential to
create safe pure potable water for those who live in regions where it is harder
to find. With the help of reverse osmosis systems, and those who manufacture
them, clean water can be a reality for many.
Even with desalination, seawater
can be turned into drinkable water. So, for those whose main source of water is
from the sea or ocean, creating usable water for human consumption and daily
use is plausible.
