Reverse osmosis pushes water through a fine membrane that filters out dissolved minerals and contaminants, producing very pure water. In aquaculture, it’s mainly used to create a known, controllable starting point, diluting overly hard tap water, or removing specific contaminants, rather than as a routine part of most backyard pond setups.
