Reverse Osmosis in Our Life
My husband and I installed a reverse osmosis drinking water system in our home. I have traveled a lot recently and met lots of people including engineers on the yachts that thought me a lot abut reverse osmosis systems. They explained to me that RO are declining in popularity because they remove the minerals as well the impurities from the water. Long-term consumption of filtered water had negative health effects. I was asking myself is RO water really harmful?
I was very curious what is the true and I did my research and I found World Health Organization 's report on water sanitation and demineralization. Here 's what I learned. Reverse osmosis systems use pressure to push water through tiny pores, to create "pure water." In the process, chemicals, bacteria, and minerals are filtered through different membranes and carbon filters. Drinking water treated with reverse osmosis or other filtration systems has many advantages. If you are traveling aboard, are camping somewhere in the woods or in an area with bacteria or parasite-laden water, reverse osmosis systems allow contaminant removal, and safe drinking water. If you live in an area with heavy pesticides and herbicides use, reverse osmosis can remove these substances from your …show more content…
It is used in almost all home and commercial "drinking water" machines such as those in water stores, superstores and health food stores. It is also used industrially in bottling plants for soda pop, soups, juices, beer and many other drinks. It is also used on all ships, personal yachts, in many aircraft, and in many other applications. It is much cheaper than distillation. However, reverse osmosis systems may vary. Before planning to get RO system it is good idea to double check with the factories or manufacture to see what filters it contains and what is removed during the process. (Jacqueline
