RO membranes play a vital role in home water filtration systems by effectively removing contaminants such as chlorine, bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals, ensuring clean, safe drinking water. These membranes work through a semi-permeable layer that allows only purified water to pass through, blocking impurities. The benefits include improved taste, odor, and overall water quality. To maintain optimal performance, regular cleaning and timely replacement of the membrane are essential. Frequent maintenance ensures the membrane operates efficiently, prolongs the system's lifespan, and keeps water quality consistent. Replacing the RO membrane every 2-3 years helps maintain system effectiveness.
