A question I am often asked - reverse osmosis filtration, is the best choice? Other people are confused by the term, so I will try to explain how this type of water, cleaning the machine.
The essence of life
I would first point out that pure water is one of the most important substances on Earth and without it life would cease to exist, but every day you turn on the tap and pour a glass full of pollutants such as: Cadmium lead Chlorine Zinc Arsenic Nitrates Pesticides Copepods Copper Drinking the right kind of water that will be protected from all types of viral infections and infectious diseases. Drink tap water or bottled water, which is also known to contain bacteria, it will only hurt. In fact, studies show that the risk of cancer is 93 percent higher among the American people drinking chlorinated water than those who do not.
Reverse osmosis filter system
Reverse osmosis is used inWater treatment and refining stage to remove the reservoir of selenium, which is like selenocyanate, but still all comes through your taps.
The primary element in this type of system is a thick semi-permeable membrane that allows water, but blocks the impurities. Like most machines of water, it is not difficult to install and most of them with a tutorial, but if you do not feel safe, then you can always call a plumber to fitLasco or Avantapure pipes in your house, especially as the tank for storage needs to be fitted undersink and tied into the wastewater.
Water-softening
Some systems also incorporating water softening, you may have heard of these: kinetico
culligan
lowe's Whirlpool
You may have read the article in the Geelong advertiser that points toward this being the best method to purify your drinking water in
your home, but in reality there are several problems and dangers associated with it:the machines can be noisy and run slowly, so you may only get a couple of gallon of water an hour
the EPA advises active carbon and although some use a carbon granule step many do not
those that use this system also contain silver nitrate, a toxin
when using low pressure and tap water below seventy-five degrees efficiency will drop below ten percent. This means the rest of
what you are trying to filter will get through and so you will still be drinking chloramines, phosphates, chlorines, pesticides and VOC's.
wastage can be as high as a five to one ratio and consequently add pounds to your bill
a well functioning machine will work in the same way as distillation unit's work and strip essential minerals necessary to health
it may also strip electrons giving the filtered water a PH of less than 7, which again is unhealthy
Is there a better way?
I don't wish to alarm you but as you can see a machine like this does not really compare that well, although it has to be said that any filtering mechanism has to be better than none at all.
If you are concerned about what you are drinking, then the best method is multi-filtration, which complies with EPA recommendations and uses carbon. These systems are not infiltrated with silver nitrate as they use carbon blocks, submicron filtration and ion exchange.
For the sake of your health, you really should find out more, as a multi-filtration system offers a much better alternative to the reverse osmosis filtration system - so read on:
