Does RO remove bacteria and viruses? Can bacteria grow in the RO system?
Water filter, reverse osmosis, shower filter, purificationThe hole size in an RO membrane is of the order of 0.0001 microns. Bacteria size ranges between 1 and 5 microns and there is no way they can get through. Cryptosporidia and giardia would be like giant gray whales staring at a 1 inch mesh fish net. Protozoas are even larger than bacteria and will not get through. Viruses are in the range between 0.02 and 0.5 microns. They are still 100 to 2,500 times larger than the holes in the RO membrane and cannot get through.
Related QuestionsIf I want to remove bacteria in the water completely, which filter systems should I use?
ECOPURE WATER FILTERS AND DISTILLERS - FAQs (Frequently Aske...Bacteria and viruses (including the potentially deadly E.coli) are even smaller than parasitic cysts. Only reverse osmosis systems or water distillers can almost completely remove them, and, in the case of reverse osmosis systems, there is still a chance of bacterial breakthrough, especially when the R.O. membrane ages or otherwise degrades. Adding a UV sterilizer as the final stage of filtration is a very good safeguard.

Related QuestionsCan Water Filter with a UV kills viruses and bacteria totally?
Kemp Trading - FAQsThe purpose of UV light is for bacterial disinfecting.

Related QuestionsDo I have to remove my UV filter when I want to use another filter, such as a polarizer?
Frequently asked questions on polarizers and UV filtersIt is not necessary to remove your UV filter when you're going to use any other filter you may have, but it won't do any harm. Some filters, like polarizers, do cause image degradation because of their construction. This degradation is usually more than the degradation already caused by the UV filter, so in those cases you do not really have to remove the UV filter. On the other hand, you run the risk of light being 'trapped' between the two filters, thus causing lighter spots on your picture.
