OSMO PHARMA Elements
Pharmaceutical Grade Net Wrapped RO Elements
All the OSMO PHARMA elements:
 Are manufactured from FDA-acceptable
materials.
 Have passed Class VI testing for all materials.
 Feature a net wrapped design.
 Have an electropolished 316L stainless steel
permeate tube.
 Are wet-tested for performance integrity.
 Are shipped with a certificate of compliance.
