Generally, reverse osmosis equipment consists of pumps that provide the necessary pressure, membranes (which are made with different rejection ratings for different applications) and the housings for the membranes or filters.

The most obvious reason to purify drinking water is for health reasons. Before the reverse osmosis water purifier system of today, traditional methods of cleaning water consisted of boiling the water or adding iodine and chlorine. Boiling works well on a camping trip, but for home use it has some drawbacks. For one, it does kill bacteria, but not all. Second, you would have to wait for the water to cool. Some say boiling water tends to give it a stale taste and smell. Iodine proved good at killing off some viruses, bacteria and parasites, but it also gave an unpleasant taste to the water. Finally, chlorine works by getting dirt and sediments to settle to the bottom. Using too much can be poisonous.

A reverse osmosis water purifier system removes more toxins and organisms than any of the old-fashioned methods combined.
