Why Do I Need A Reverse Osmosis System

Many people ask why they need a reverse osmosis system or what are the benefits of having a Reverse Osmosis System.  I have been in the water and waste water treating business since 2005 and have discovered many reasons that one would not only want a reverse osmosis system but why one needs a reverse osmosis system.  Some things we do know is that it purifies water and makes it drinkable more so than what comes out of the tap.  We may think that the water that comes from the tap is drinkable since it meets the EPA drinking water standards or at least we hope it does.

What Does a Reverse Osmosis System Do

Let's answer the question in the subheading above.  What does a reverse osmosis system do?  It cleans and filters and purifies your water.  It removes harmful contaminants that can make one sick be it right away or over a long period of time.  These are contaminants like lead, fluoride and chlorine just to name a few.  For a more extensive list of harmful drinking water contaminants click here,

   Reverse osmosis processes water at the molecular level. By squeezing ordinary tap water against a special membrane, pure water molecules are separated from impurities. These impurities are automatically rinsed down the drain leaving only clean great tasting water.
