Reverse osmosis (RO) filters separate water molecules from other dissolved solids in the water (like carbonates).

What Can Reverse Osmosis Systems Do For Farmers?

Reverse osmosis systems can be a great investment for farmers. Reverse osmosis (RO) filters separate water molecules from other dissolved solids in the water (like carbonates). Since carbonates act as a buffer, they can make pH management difficult.

Basically, the reverse osmosis filter is a membrane through which water is pumped, filtering water at a molecular level. Most dissolved solids can’t get through the membrane. This means that the water coming out of the filter is much closer to pure water.
