Why is reverse-osmosis filtration so inefficient? Why is there so much water loss?
In: Physics
It’s not inefficient. The water you’re considering “lost” is water being used to flush the filters clean regularly.
Imagine your reverse-osmosis filter produced zero water “loss,” but you were required to remove the filter and wash it daily.
That’s what the “lost” water is doing for you. It’s why the filters last so long.
