What are the Benefits of Reverse Osmosis Water?

Environmental factors, aging infrastructure and climate change can all make an impact on an area’s drinking water adding dangerous levels of lead, some heavy metals, and other dangerous dissolved compounds. Having and using home technology that’s capable of reducing contaminants, additives and chemicals from your water can protect your health and give you greater peace of mind.

How Contaminated Tap Water Impacts Us

One article in the New York Times found that tap water in the US can contribute to skin rashes, erode tooth enamel, and often contains arsenic, lead and other toxic chemicals. The article went on to report that “more than 62 million Americans had been exposed [from 2004-2009] to drinking water that didn’t meet at least one commonly used government health guideline intended to help protect people” from illness or disease. Even though this has only come into the national eye recently, the Associated Press reported back in 2009 that “although lead remains a serious problem in school drinking water, it’s far from the only one. The most frequently cited contaminant was coliform bacteria, followed by lead and copper, arsenic and nitrates.”

One way to make sure you’re getting quality water is to only drink purified water. Even if you are paying extra for bottled water, they can still contain metals and potential allergens. According to an article written by Dr. Suzanne Bennett for the Huffington Post, purified water comes from two methods of filtration: either distillation or reverse osmosis. Both of these types of water are devoid of minerals, but ingesting them is not harmful to your body.

In fact, around the world, household drinking water purification systems, including a reverse osmosis step, are often used for improving the quality of water used for drinking and cooking.

What is Reverse osmosis?

Reverse osmosis is pushing water through a specially designed membrane. The membrane is usually part of a larger filter system and can filter out a lot of the tiniest particles. The reverse osmosis membrane has very tiny openings, so tiny that can’t really be called holes, that prevent contaminants from getting into your water. Using a reverse osmosis filter allows your water to be that much cleaner and removes a lot of the tiniest particles, like dissolved elements and chemicals from getting into the water you drink.

Benefits of Drinking Reverse Osmosis Water

Filtered water can remove cryptosporidium. According to the CDC, reverse osmosis water does not contain cryptosporidium, a parasite found in contaminated water. Once ingested, this parasite affects the small intestines, causing stomach cramps, fever and diarrhea.
