Title: Comparisons ongoing between ultra-low and high pressure RO membranes
Text: "Reverse Osmosis: [The Colorado School of Mines is looking at] ultra-low pressure reverse osmosis membranes and compare[ing] the results to the traditional high pressure RO membranes. The results of their study showed that the Filmtec XLE membrane reduced the TDS below the secondary drinking water standards (500 ppm), producing water that is suitable for drinking water aquifer recharge."
