Reverse Osmosis Units

Reverse Osmosis Water Systems

Are reverse osmosis units and reverse osmosis water systems for purifying water really the best?

There is little doubt that drinking good water may be one of the most important health choices a family ever makes.

But with the variety of choices available today -- distilled water, bottled water, reverse osmosis units, whole house filtration systems -- selecting the best water for your family is confusing to say the least.

Yes, it's true that there exists federal regulations imposed on water products that force manufacturers to create water that meets the same requirements as city water treatment plants, but these regulations are only imposed on companies that transport water across state lines.

If the water manufacturer distributes their water products within their state lines, as many do, no federal regulations are required.

This is precisely why bottled water is often no better for you than tap as companies circumvent federal regulations for purity by distributing it right in their state.

Bringing good water into your home is really all about size ­- the size of water molecules vs the size of the molecules of contaminants, toxins and impurities you're trying to eliminate.

Moreover, all minerals should not be eliminated from your drinking water, as some of these essential elements, such as calcium, magnesium and potassium, are necessary to maintain optimal health -- this is the way mother nature intended water to be drank.

In recent years, several different methods of purifying water have become popular, such as reverse osmosis water systems, reverse osmosis units, and distillation.

Now, what's interesting is that these methods of purifying water were actually created more than 40 years ago by the photography industry for use when developing prints.

And while several companies today produce water from these methods and market them to the general consumer, what they don't tell you may be more important than what they do tell you.

For example, the distilled water process boils water and collects the steam, recreating the water in a liquid form. Artificial toxins have a lower boiling point than water, so when the vapor collected returns to a liquid state, the toxins also return to the water!

What about reverse osmosis units?

Well, reverse osmosis water systems use a membrane made with very small pores to filter the water. This prevents many of the larger molecules of toxins and contaminants from passing into the reverse osmosis water product -- however, it also eliminates many of the needed trace elements that mother nature intended us to drink and are beneficial for our health.

To make matters worse, reverse osmosis units do not remove pesticides and herbicides because these molecules are small enough to pass right through the membrane! In fact, a carbon system is required to remove any remaining contaminants.

Reverse osmosis units also require extensive maintenance. Whole house reverse osmosis systems need storage space, and most systems produce only one gallon of water per hour.

And a family usually needs more than one gallon of water an hour.

The bottomline is that a multi-stage process of treating water is needed to remove all contaminants, including the small-molecule pesticides and herbicides, while maintaining beneficial trace elements.

But who offers such a water filtration system? Not just for the whole house, but also personal drinking units as well for those not interested in a whole house filtration system.

Featured Product

Aquasana uses a dual-cartridge system created from the most advanced technology available, which is better than reverse osmosis units.

Why?

Because this system utilises ion exchange, absorption and mechanical filtration to produce the healthiest water possible...that is water that is free of toxins that can infiltrate reverse osmosis units, but retains the beneficial minerals that we are supposed to drink.

We recommend Aquasaa water filters over reverse osmosis units for all the reasons discussed above. Why not buy the best? Your health depends on it.

Aquasana provides whole house water filtration system (as well as personal drinking water filtration systems) and the result of the two-cartridge system is refreshing, great tasting water that is economically the best choice for your family.

Aquasana was rated #1 in water filtration systems, which says more about them than many of the reverse osmosis units on the market.
