Reverse osmosis unit/appliance; RO unit


Explanation:
Deve ser isso, se é aparelho *para uso doméstico* e não um sistema ou equipamentos (de pressurização ou bomba) para tratar água da casa inteira.
Pressão, nesse caso, refere-se à pressão da própria água, já que é essa pressão que força a mesma água a passar por uma membrana de purificação, sendo que através desse processo (de pressão) a água purificada é, então, separada dos sólidos/contaminantes que serão rejeitados.

Example sentence(s):
  • Reverse osmosis (RO) is becoming a common home treatment method for contaminated drinking water. RO is probably best known for its use in desalination projects [...]. However, it is also effective for treating water quality problems in the home.
  • What are the differences between Reverse Osmosis Systems and Whole House Water Filters? Reverse osmosis is a POU (point of use) system installed under the kitchen sink to treat water for drinking and cooking purposes.
