Reverse osmosis is a water purification system, by physicochemical and microbiological hazards. It includes a synthetic membrane, through which water is being filtered with normal urban network pressure.
Only water molecules pass through the specific material of this membrane, and collected absolutely clean, filtered as water on the other side.
Dirt and other harmful elements remain on the opposite side and discarded.
Even after the application of water purification system, a regular monitoring is required to verify its smooth operation.
This kind of monitoring includes detects only physicochemical parameters, which may deviate from the normal range.
| Physicochemical parameters (only) | |
|---|---|
| pH | Phosphorus (P2O5) |
| Ammonium (NH+4) | Φθόριο (F-) |
| Calcium (Ca+2) | Fluoride (NO3–) |
| Magnesium (Mg+2) | Sulfates (SO4-2) |
| Potassium (K+) | Barium (Βa+2) |
| Sodium (Na+) | Total silicates (SiO2) |
| Manganese (Mn+2) | Total organic carbon |
| Iron (Fe) | BOD5 |
| Boron (B) | COD |
| Carbonate (CO3-2) | Turbidity |
| Bicarbonates (HCO3-2) | Total Chromium (Cr) |
| Chloride (Cl–) | Hexavalent Chromium (Cr+6) |
