What’s a Reverse Osmosis Water Filter?

A reverse osmosis water filter uses pressure to force water through a membrane that has holes small enough to filter out 0.0001 microns. This only allows water and some gases to pass through. This membrane when used with pre and post activated carbon filters is exceptionally effective.

A reverse osmosis water filter is extremely effective. A reverse osmosis filtration system combined with an activated carbon filter system can remove 99% of contaminants. Carbon filters alone don’t remove arsenic, fluoride, bacteria, mercury, pesticides and inorganic minerals. Reverse osmosis removes all of these and pharmaceutical drugs. In fact it is the only way to remove fluoride.

A pre-carbon filter takes out chlorine which would otherwise eat the membrane. The membrane filters out 90% of contaminants and with the carbon filters pre and post results in 99% of contaminants filtered. The addition of an ultra violet light kills bacteria.

A reverse osmosis water filter gives clearer, sparkling water with a good taste which makes a difference to ice cubes, tea, coffee and drinking water. It is also suitable for household appliances like irons and coffee machines because there is no mineral buildup.

5-stage Reverse Osmosis Water Filter

The removal of minerals could be a downside for people who rely on water to receive their mineral intake.

A 4-5 stage reverse osmosis filtration system – each stage removes certain contaminants – with activated carbon filters is the most thorough and cost effective water purifying system. It will have paid for itself within six months.
