<p>Yes, reverse osmosis units do waste water. This is because of the way they filter. What happens is that when water enters the filter, it is pushed up along side of a reverse osmosis membrane, much like a rubber sheet.

<p>Hi Bill</p>
<p>Yes, reverse osmosis units do waste water. This is because of the way they filter. What happens is that when water enters the filter, it is pushed up along side of a reverse osmosis membrane, much like a rubber sheet. Some water molecules pass through this membrane, resulting in the water you drink from the machine. The rest of the water, with the concentrated impurities, is sent to drain. This is called the concentrate.</p>

<p>Hi Bill</p>
<p>Yes, reverse osmosis units do waste water. This is because of the way they filter. What happens is that when water enters the filter, it is pushed up along side of a reverse osmosis membrane, much like a rubber sheet. Some water molecules pass through this membrane, resulting in the water you drink from the machine. The rest of the water, with the concentrated impurities, is sent to drain. This is called the concentrate.</p>
