What Is Reverse Osmosis Water?
Reverse osmosis (RO) water is water that has been purified using a specialized filtration process. This process pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane designed to block contaminants, allowing only clean water molecules to pass through. The result is fresh, clean-tasting water that is free from most impurities found in tap or well water.
What Does Reverse Osmosis Remove?
Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective filtration methods available. It can remove up to 99% of common contaminants, including:
- Dissolved salts and minerals (sodium, calcium, magnesium)
- Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury) Chlorine and chloramine
- Fluoride
- Nitrates and sulfates
- Organic compounds, pesticides, and herbicides
- Microorganisms such as certain bacteria and protozoa
This makes RO water an excellent choice for drinking, cooking, and even protecting appliances from scale buildup.
The Added Benefits of Reverse Osmosis
Beyond purity, reverse osmosis water offers extra advantages for your home and lifestyle:
- Improved Taste and Odor: With chlorine, chemicals, and other impurities removed, water tastes noticeably fresher and cleaner.
- Better for Beverages and Cooking: Coffee, tea, soups, and sauces taste richer when made with purified water.
- Eco-Friendly Choice: By installing an RO system, you can reduce reliance on bottled water, helping to cut down on plastic waste.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your family is drinking high-quality water brings everyday confidence in your health and safety.
