Why Not RO?

Reverse Osmosis(RO) is a popular way to filter water,
especially where a 'whole-house' system is desired. But RO
has a lot of deficiencies, particularly for drinking water.
To begin with, RO is an energy glutton because a lot of water
has to get pushed passed the membrane to get a little water
to go through to the other side; and the biggest problem with
this method is that in many cases as much as 5 to 10 percent
of the contaminants remain in the 'filtered' water. You may
reason that this is acceptable for washing or bathing, but that
amount of contamination is unacceptable for drinking.

And then there's the cost: RO has to be both plumbed and
wired, and it fills a small cabinet base, even for a small
volume unit. The membrane has to be changed frequently,
along with the pre-filters. And if there is any chance of
bacterial activity(remember that cryptosporidium is not
killed by chlorine), you need another whole system for
disinfection that can itself be costly to install and maintain.

Our advice: at least for now, stick with distillation for
all of your drinking water needs. Try our vitamin C shower
head to remove chlorine from your bath routine. Add
vitamin C to the bath and veggie wash.

If you really need a 'whole-house' water system, you may
want to find a better house. You are made up of nearly
70 percent water. Your health depends on good water.
