Forward thinking with Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis is a system of filtration that is highly
effective at removing even the smallest particles from a liquid.
It is also known as Hyperfiltration. The Reverse Osmosis process
can remove particles as small as a dissolved individual ion. The
most popular use for this process is in the purification of
water for human consumption.
Reverse Osmosis uses a semi-permeable membrane that allows the
water to pass through it, while ensuring that contaminants do
not. Reverse Osmosis systems have come a long way in recent
years, and many people have installed them in their homes to
ensure that their family is drinking clean, pure, healthy water.
Many families are rightly concerned about the quality of water
they are consuming. As evidenced by various stories in the
press, people cannot always be sure that their tap water is
clean and free from contaminants. One of the best ways to ensure
that your family has clean drinking water is to take matters
into your own hands and invest in a Reverse Osmosis system.
There is no other commercial system available that is as
effective as Reverse Osmosis.
While a Reverse Osmosis system does effectively clean water, it
does not disinfect it. The membrane that is used for filtration
can and will remove biological contaminants, but it should not
be relied upon solely to treat contaminated water for human
consumption. If you are concerned about biological contaminants,
you could always add an ultraviolet light to your water system.
Intense ultraviolet light systems will destroy biological
contaminants before they reach your RO system, therefore
ensuring only the best possible drinking water.
Reverse Osmosis systems effectively remove dozens of
contaminants from water, including chlorine, benzene,
chloroform, barium, and countless others. These systems
essentially strip water down to its most basic form. We
installed one in our home a few years ago. A manufacturing plant
on the edge of town contaminated the local water supply and,
although we were not affected, it served as a much needed
wake-up call. Within days, we had a Reverse Osmosis water
treatment system installed. We added the UV light system a month
later, when we learned some more about it. Clean water is
essential for health and survival. Contaminated water can kill
you. Do you really have a choice in the matter? Think smart.
Plan ahead.
