What is Reverse Osmosis?

Purified by Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis is a powerful water purification system that turns unpurified water into clean drinking water. It can convert seawater into fresh drinkable water by using it's special water filtration technology. It is also used for water irrigation in drought ridden areas, and some models don't require electricity but rely upon high pressure pumps to make purified water suitable for drinking.

How Does Reverse Osmosis Work?

How Does Reverse Osmosis Work? Basically a Reverse Osmosis Filter is made up of membranes that allow water particles to pass through the membrane or filter but not larger particles like heavy metals, sediment, pathogens, chemicals or toxins.  It allows passage from an area of greater pressure or concentration to that of a lower one. It is a powerful way to strain out the unwanted things in a water source to make it clean and highly purified drinking water.

It can be combined with additional pre-filters to make sure it removes harmful heavy metals like fluoride, radiation, mercury, lead and other specific things that may present in a certain area's groundwater or tap water supply. It is no longer a luxury, you need to have your tap water filtered, and Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration is the most cost-effective way to ensure you and your family have access to safe and clean drinking water when needed.

Benefits of Reverse Osmosis

Disadvantages of Reverse Osmosis

There are many advantages, along with a few disadvantages of Reverse Osmosis water filter unit, particularly the older and smaller ones. It gets rid of most all contaminants that other types have a hard time with, while making the water acidic and not removing all VOC's and MTBE's without added filter units.

Advantages:

• Removes Fluoride
• Removes Arsenic
• Removes Nitrates
• Removes Heavy Metals (Lead, Mercury, Aluminum)
• Removes Sodium
• Removes A Lot of Chemicals
• Improves Taste of Water

Disadvantages:

• VOC's Not all Removed
• MTBE's Not all Removed
• Some pesticides not all removed
• Can make the water Acidic 

Fortunately, almost all newer Reverse Osmosis Systems now have complete 3-7 stage filter units that work with the main unit, to get rid of all the things the normal RO system left behind. And has a filter that adds healthy alkaline pH minerals back into the water so it tastes better and is much healthier. So rest assured every reverse osmosis you find here will be a complete system that will get rid of all contaminants, and give you clean, purified great tasting drinking water!

Reverse Osmosis Water Systems

There are many types of Reverse Osmosis Water Systems that fit your individual needs and that can fit your lifestyle and space requirements too. There are RO Water systems that are portable so you can easily take them with you when you travel or move often. There are counter top, table top and under sink reverse osmosis water filter systems that can turn any home water into the cleanest most purified water safe to drink, cook and bathe in.

Whichever reverse osmosis filter system you choose, you are getting the most purified water you can get. It is what they use when you go to a water store or kiosk. You can save a lot of your time, money and traveling around lugging heavy bottles around when you get your own RO Water System!

Zeolite Water Filters

Zeolite Water Filters like the pure effect water filters are RO based filters that have the added benefit of Zeolite. Zeolite is a natural alkaline mineral that traps radiation, fluoride and heavy metals. It gets the things that even most RO systems can't yet. It also has the unique properties that it stops viruses cold and is also a natural cancer preventative and holistic treatment. These are powerful filters for those who want to best you can get and actually want to improve their health by leaps and bounds.
