        "text": "A typical reverse osmosis system uses multiple stages of filtration. First, a sediment filter removes larger particles like dirt and rust. Next, activated carbon filters remove chlorine, chloramines, and other chemicals that affect taste and odor. The semi-permeable RO membrane then removes dissolved solids, heavy metals, and microscopic contaminants. Finally, a post-carbon filter polishes the water before it reaches your faucet. Understanding these stages can help you appreciate the comprehensive purification process and the importance of each filter's role.",
