As the world becomes more conscious of what they put in their bodies, many people are becoming increasingly interested in the health benefits of reverse osmosis water filtration. Reverse osmosis is a filtration process that uses pressure to force water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. This method eliminates much of the impurities found in tap water. Many people are turning to reverse osmosis due to the lack of trust in water utilities, and while the taste of the water is a major topic of discussion, there are many other benefits to be had with this advanced filtration.

One of the most obvious benefits of reverse osmosis is that it removes numerous contaminants and harmful particles from drinking water. Depending on the system, up to 95-99% of inorganic contaminants from the water can be eliminated. This includes chemicals like chlorine and fluoride, particles like lead, arsenic, and nitrates and bacteria and viruses like e-coli and cryptosporidium. This makes the water much easier on the digestive system and can help reduce instances of gastrointestinal illnesses.

Reverse osmosis also saves time and money. No expensive chemical treatments or extended dwell times in the water are necessary.
