1The Efficiency Ratio
Standard RO purifiers have a recovery rate of 25-30%. Advanced "Eco" models can push this to 50% or even 60%.

Understanding Water Recovery Efficiency.
Recovery rate defines how much purified water is produced versus how much is rejected (wasted) by the RO membrane.
2Water Conservation
A 50% recovery rate means for every 1 Liter of pure water, only 1 Liter is rejected. Older models may waste 3-4 Liters for every 1 Liter purified.
3Membrane Health
Higher recovery rates put more stress on the membrane. High-efficiency models often require better pretreatment filters.
