Imagine you’re a tiny water molecule trying to get into an exclusive club. But this club has a super strict bouncer. That bouncer is a semi-permeable membrane.
It’s so picky it kicks out everything. Lead? Gone. Chlorine? Bye. That weird taste in your morning coffee? Vaporized. Only pure H₂O gets the VIP pass.
This isn’t magic. It’s pressure. The system shoves your tap water through that membrane with serious force. Like you squeezing a water balloon through a straw.
