This means you wind up with clean, pure water on the using side of the membrane, while heavy metals, biological contaminants, and even chlorine remain on the other side of the membrane, filtering out and eventually flushed from the water filter’s system. A reverse osmosis water filter eliminates almost all of several contaminants from your drinking water: arsenic, chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, nitrates, sediments, iron, bacteria, viruses, bad tastes and odors, and some of your hydrogen sulfide and VOCs (an example: pesticides).
