What is the approximate ratio of reject water to product water in newer models of reverse osmosis water filtration systems?
  1. 1:1
  2. 2:1
  3. 4:1
  4. 8:1
Explanation
Answer: B - Newer models of reverse osmosis water filtration systems generate reject water and create product water at an approximate ratio of four gallons to one. This is a substantial improvement over older systems, which generated about 10 gallons of reject water for every gallon of product water. Newer systems generally shut themselves off, as well, when the storage tank is full, thus saving more water.
