Reverse Osmosis Water Filtering Systems and Why They Should Be Avoided in Favour of New Technology
Reverse osmosis water filtering systems have been popular in the past but now seem to be fading fast in the wake of new, more effective technology. Let me explain.
These systems were originally designed for the paper and print industries to provide them with demineralized water. This is good for industry but bad for us! Using a reverse osmosis water dispenser could leave you with a mineral deficiency.
The World Health Organization states we should all drink water with the minerals like calcium and magnesium left in. Reverse osmosis water filtering systems strip them out of the water and amazingly due to the way their filters operate, they allow dangerous synthetic toxins to pass through as their molecules are smaller than water.
Whilst they are efficient at removing chlorine, the failure to get rid of these more dangerous toxins like herbicides, pesticides and prescription drugs is truly worrying.
Other factors to consider are the considerable space they need to enable them to get enough pressure, the fact they waste 3 gallons of water for every one used and that many are extremely noisy.
The very latest cutting-edge technology provides us with a much less expensive and far more effective alternative to the reverse osmosis water dispenser, namely the carbon block filter.
The very best ones use a multi-stage process with the added benefit of an ion exchange and sub micron filtering to remove 99.9% of contaminants, including the harmful synthetic ones, something that no reverse osmosis water filtering systems can achieve.
Just check the performance data sheet for a system to see exactly what it removes, and ask for it if it is not provided as many companies that sell RO systems are aware of the low removal rate.
As we are made up of 70% water, the quality of what we consume directly affects the quality of our health so it is vital we only have pure, healthy, great tasting water and not the type provided by reverse osmosis water filtering systems.
