Yes, RO's can reduce pressure and flow when their filters become plugged.
Water or liquid move naturally from lower concentration to higher concentration. The drive force is called osmotic pressure. No additional pressure need to drive osmosis process. Reverse osmosis, is apply pressure to fight against osmotic pressure. It do need additional pressure to reverse the osmosis process. It is comparing a zero additional pressure with any positive additional pressure thus of cause reverse osmosis require more pressure.
a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.
Installing a reverse osmosis system for a refrigerator can provide benefits such as improved water quality, removal of contaminants, better tasting water and ice, and increased overall health and safety.
A pump for pressure and a membrane.
Reverse osmosis filters certain types of molecules and ions by applying pressure on one side of the membrane. Reverse osmosis works by introducing a large amount of pressure to a solution to remove large molecules and/or ions completely. This process is similar to other osmosis exercises.
That would be useless. For reverse osmosis you don't just need pressure; you need a pressure difference.
Osmosis is the phenomenon of water flow through a semi-permeable membrane from high watre potential to low water potential. However the flow may be stopped, or even reversed by applying external pressure on the volume of higher concentration. In such a case the phenomenon is called reverse osmosis.
Reverse osmosis in refrigerator water filtration systems provides clean and safe drinking water by removing contaminants like chemicals, bacteria, and viruses. It improves the taste and odor of water, reduces the need for bottled water, and is cost-effective in the long run.

The process for desalinization is reverse osmosis. The salty fluid is put on the pressurized side of the semi-permeable membrane and the salt free water oozes to the low pressure side. The pressure overcomes the "osmotic pressure" noted in regular osmosis.
Reverse osmosis uses extremely high pressure to remove salt from ocean water. The main health benefit is that a lot of chemicals are removed.
A reverse osmosis system purifies water by using pressure to push water through a semipermeable membrane, which filters out impurities and contaminants, leaving behind clean, purified water.
