"How does reverse osmosis work?"
Water is first passed through a spiral wound prefilter, then through a granular activated and carbon block filter. The water is then passed through a reverse osmosis membrane. The filtered water is stored and pressurized in a storage tank. Before going to the water dispenser, the water is sent through one final inline granular activated carbon polishing step. The system is simple to maintain and only requires semi annual filter replacements. Annual filter replacement costs are about $60 - $90.
