What is reverse osmosis and how can it be so

Reverse osmosis is a very effective process for removing
chemical and bacterial contaminants that are potential health hazards.
It requires special filters that have semi-permeable membranes. Water is
forced into the filters and pushed through the membrane. This process
aloows water to pass through the membrane, but not ions (calcium, iron,
manganese, etc.) or larger molecules (glucose, urea, bacteria). Since
this goes against the concentration gradient (lower concentration to
higher concentration), it is the opposite process of osmosis, which goes
with the concentration gradient, thus giving it the name reverse
osmosis.
As an additional benefit, the design of the filter is
also uniquely laid out in a continuous circling manner, much like the
rings of a tree appear. This design allows for maximum filtration and
usage of the membrane's surface.
The reverse osmosis method is an efficient and
comprehensive means of eliminating more than 90% of potentially harmful
contaminants.
How do I know if reverse osmosis may be right for
me?
If you are concerned about the water
quality in your home, reverse osmosis may be an option for you. If you
notice any taste or odor problems, or are aware of high levels of
dissolved minerals in your water supply, you may want to consider a
reverse osmosis system. If you are or have an immune-compromised
individual in your home who is especially susceptible to infection from
various water-borne contaminants, an RO system is often recommended. A
dangerous microorganism cyst called Cryptosporidium may be
present in your water, which the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) recommend using reverse osmosis for removal.
Which contaminants will a reverse osmosis system
remove?
Reverse osmosis will treat a variety of contaminants,
both chemical/elemental and bacterial. Included are:
- Chemical/Elemental: Aluminum, Arsenic,
Asbestos, Atrazine, Benzene, Chlorides, Chlorine, Copper, Cyanide,
Fluoride, Lead, Mercury, Nitrates, Radium, Radon, Silver, Sodium,
Sulfide, Trichloroethylene, and Total Trihalomethanes.
- Bacterial:* Cryptosporidium, Giardia
*While RO systems may be effective at removing
bacterial contaminants, design considerations such as tiny seal
leaks or manufacturing imperfections may prevent foolproof
protection. Therefore, absolute disinfection should be ensured with
a post-RO system such as UV light. This will reduce the reduction of
bacterial contaminants to greater than 99.9%.
Besides reducing contaminants, what other benefits
does reverse osmosis provide?
With reverse
osmosis, the most noticable difference will be cleaner, sparkling
water that tastes great! Because the natural state of your water is
altered in this manner, the flavor of food and drinks can come
through without any "chemical" taste, allowing their full flavors to
come through. As well, having low mineral
content in your water can
