Why would your facility consider using a reverse

osmosis system?

Water quality varies depending on location.

In some areas, total dissolved solids can be

sustained at or below 250 ppm, eliminating

pre-treatment measures for effective waterjet

operation. However, in areas where the total

dissolved solids (TDS) rise in excess of 250 ppm,

an OMAX Pressure Reverse Osmosis System can

be just the assurance you need to provide clean,

pure water to your equipment.

What is Reverse

Osmosis?

To understand reverse osmosis, you must

ﬁrst understand osmosis. During natural

osmosis, water ﬂows from a less concen-

trated solution through a semipermeable

membrane to a more concentrated saline

solution until concentrations on both sides

of the membrane are equal.

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis requires external pres-

sure to reverse natural osmotic

ﬂow. As pressure is applied to the

saline solution, water ﬂows from a more

concentrated saline solution through

the semipermeable membrane.

Reverse Osmosis

Membrane

A reverse osmosis membrane has

a thin microporous surface that rejects

impurities, but allows water to pass

through. The membrane rejects 85%-95%

of inorganic solids. Reverse osmosis is a

percent rejection technology. The purity

of the product water depends on the

purity of the inlet water. The purity of

reverse osmosis product water is much

higher than the purity of the feedwater.

Reject Water

A large percentage (50%-75%)

of the feedwater does not pass through

the membrane but ﬂows across the mem-

brane surface, constantly cleaning it and

carrying the inorganic and organic solids

to drain. This water is called “reject.”

When to consider

a water softener?

In some locations you will ﬁnd the

hardness (calcium and magnesium)

in your water to be high but the TDS

to be below 250. In situations like this

a water softener is recommended. You

will gain many of the same beneﬁts that

a reverse osmosis system would give

you but at a lower cost.
