Reverse osmosis is the cheapest method of water preparation. The water, running at a normal pressure of 3-5 bar, is pressed against a semipermeable membrane, which lets the water pass but retains the substances contained in it (including all the cations and anions, pesticides, bacteria, fungi, and even... Proper Aquarium Water Quality – What Is Reverse Osmosis System. The apparatus for reverse osmosis is attached to the water faucet. Ion exchangers and peat eliminate unwanted salts from the water, but many organic compounds, which do not form ions, pass through the exchanger completely unchanged. This raises the question of how to protect fish and plants from water contaminated by pesticides and other chemicals. The membrane works like the membrane of a living cell, which lets through water but not the salts dissolved in cytoplasm. The water obtained by this procedure is almost fully desalted and contains no organic substances (such as pesticides, bacteria, or viruses)....
