Reverse Osmosis Filter

That depends on whether you have salt water laced with salt, then yes, probably could be a residential reverse osmosis systems. But if you have a problem in a chlorinated water system without salt, then the answer would be no. In this article we are going to know why I say that you look and how to solve your problems better, easier and less expensive.

The main reason why I say you do not need RO or distillation system, if you have severe salinity problemsbecause of the additional costs and maintenance headaches that go with these systems.

RO systems have been used to remove salt from brackish water supplies and were subsequently used by industries that require clean water for their production processes. In these systems, the water pressure is used for water against a semi-permeable membrane, so porous the molecules only of the size of the molecules of water, or low power may happen.

But technology has always had its problems.For example:

RO removes all the minerals and nutrients in the water, the good, the bad and the ugly, but you can only water that tastes flat and slightly acidic.

It is also possible with the water unhealthy for two reasons.


a. There is evidence, cancer thrives only in a slightly acidic.
b. Acidic water will return to a neutral state, will steal calcium from the body in the form of calcium bicarbonate and neutralize each other.

These systems are slowlyand an accumulator to require plenty of water for bathing or laundry.The membrane pores are so small that the water pressure may be necessary pump.Even with the addition of a recall can be increased in line with enough pressure to membrane due to small pores, a large amount of water still happen and not wasted. These exhaust systems all waste 2-5 gallons of water for every gallon of water recycling systems filtered.Some, however,recycling, storage tanks and, possibly, an extra pump have long caused excessive maintenance problems and extra cost.Most chemicals have a molecular size smaller than water's and will pass right through the filtering membrane. For that reason RO systems must be used in combination with a carbon filter.

Using residential reverse osmosis systems when you don't need them is like using cannons to shoot flies. It's bulky, expensive, high maintenance and produces an unhealthy product.

The Environmental Protection Agency uses activated carbon to clean up chemical spills, and it considers this miraculous filter material as the best technology available for removing toxic chemicals in water systems.

I say it is "miraculous" because a carbon block one foot square has a filtering surface of five square miles!

If you are on a chlorinated water system, you will do much better with a selective filtration system that uses a combination of the absorptive power of carbon block filtration, ion exchange and sub micron filtration. You won't get better water at a better price than these units.

These systems will filter out chlorine, lead, prescription drugs, pharmaceuticals, SOCs, VOCs, cysts (chlorine-resistant parasites), etc. but leave in the natural trace minerals.

For help deciding if you even need a water filter system, read my article titled, appropriately, How To Know If You Need A Home Water Filtration System.

And, remember, don't drink or bathe in chlorinated water on a long-term basis.
