There are many different types of water filtration systems available for filtering your drinking water. They start as simple as a water pitcher filter and can be as advanced as a whole house system that filters all of the water in your home. Perhaps the most effective type of filtration system for purifying your drinking water is a reverse osmosis filter. Today we’re going to talk about the many benefits of drinking water that has been filtered by a reverse osmosis system!

What is a reverse osmosis water filter?

Reverse osmosis is one of the most popular water filtration methods around today. That’s because it out-performs many other filtration methods by removing nearly 100 percent of the contaminants in your drinking water!

A reverse osmosis water filter works by pushing your tap water through a semi-permeable membrane. This membrane contains holes that are only large enough to allow water molecules to pass through the other side. Since nearly all dangerous water contaminants are larger than a water molecule, clean water makes its way through the filter while all those nasty contaminants are left behind.

What are the benefits of reverse osmosis drinking water?

• It’s safe to drink. There are many great water filters out there, but many of them still allow the tiniest of contaminants to remain in your water. And some of these tiny contaminants can be the most harmful to your health. A reverse osmosis filter will remove almost all of the particles, chemicals, bacteria, viruses, lead, sulfates, pesticides and more from your water, leaving you with the safest-possible drinking water at home.
• It tastes great. You won’t find much better tasting water than water that has gone through a reverse osmosis filter. That’s because the filter remove all of the contaminants that affect the taste and smell of your water. Not only is this great for the water you drink, but also the water you use for cooking.
• It’s more economical than bottled water. Many people who are worried about the quality of tap water choose to buy bottled water from the store instead. The problem with this, beyond the fact that bottled water is often simply bottled tap water, is that it’s thousands of times more expensive than tap water. Investing in a reverse osmosis filter will give you higher quality water at a fraction of the price.
