High efficiency drinking water filter – reverse osmosis

Most water filters are used to eliminate a specific problem – water softeners are used to reduce calcium and magnesium levels in water, carbon filters are used to remove chlorine, UV water lamps are used to disinfect and effectively eliminate bacteria and viruses… What to do if you are interested in comprehensive removal of all contaminants in the water? In the case of drinking water filtration, the best option is to use reverse osmosis.

Reverse osmosis system can make water reliably filter out many harmful substances, including arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, copper, fluoride, lead, mercury, selenium, silver, iron, manganese, aluminum, potassium, nitrates, pesticides, radionuclides (radium , uranium), and others. Filtration is provided by mechanical inserts with a permeability of 1 and 5 microns, which will trap larger sediments and impurities, absorbing chlorine, heavy metals and unpleasant water odours carbon filter. However, the most important stage is the molecular membrane, which traps any remaining pollutants and lets only the water molecules through. The water in reverse osmosis flows through the aforementioned filtration stages, which can be adjusted according to individual requirements (for example, by adding a UV lamp that kills 99.99% of bacteria and viruses in the water), resulting in truly clean water suitable for drinking or cooking.

Is demineralization of water dangerous for the body?

The most frequently cited reason for not using a reverse osmosis filter is demineralization of the water. We do not deny that water is indeed free of minerals, but it is important to be clear about what minerals are involved – we distinguish between organic, beneficial to the body, and inorganic mineralswhich are toxic in the body and may be involved in, for example, joint diseases or respiratory problems (the deposition of inorganic substances and toxic acid salts results in blocking the flow of oxygen in the body). To better understand the difference between organic and inorganic minerals, we have developed the following table:

A simple example would be iron uptake, which is one of the indispensable substances in the body, is involved in its oxygenation and is important for the formation of red blood cells. Blackberries, for example, are an excellent source of iron, although the arrangement of atoms in the iron molecule is the same in blackberries and iron nails. However, try as you might, you will never be able to get the organic iron your body needs from the iron nail. On the other hand, by eating blackberries or other live plants and fruits containing iron, we take in organically bound iron that we can process and use in important processes in our bodies.

Recommended by our physicians and by world organizations

Home reverse osmosis water filtration is currently the ideal solution for drinking water treatment because it produces truly clean and healthy water. For a water treatment system that is so healthy, our body gets most of its minerals from food and not from drinking water WHO (World Health Organization) and WQA (Water Quality Association), the world’s health and water quality organisations, point out. It is a misconception that water is an essential source of mineral intake for us; inorganic minerals in water can do more harm than good.

The use of reverse osmosis is therefore the best solution for drinking water filtrationbecause it produces really clean water 97-99% free of all contaminantsthat may normally be found in it. In particular, due to the high efficiency of reverse osmosis and the excellent taste of filtered water, such water is very popular all over the world and in some countries is even widely available and sold in shops.

For example, reverse osmosis filtered water is one of the main sources of drinking water in Thailand, because in most residential buildings there is no filtered water system in place and chlorine is added to the water to disinfect it to a large extent. For more information on the harmfulness of chlorine in water and the adverse effects on our health, see the subpage on chlorine filtration in water. In Thailand and some other countries in Asia, drinking water can either be bought in shops where it is sold in plastic or glass bottles, or you can refill it in vending machines commonly found on the street. For a small fee, you can refill your bottle with drinking water filtered by reverse osmosis. You will pay approximately CZK 1 for 1 litre of water. Other options that these countries offer in terms of drinking water are: UV filtered water, ozone treated water or mineral spring water.

People in some countries have come to understand the importance of providing our bodies with good quality, healthy water that is free of all the pollutants and contaminants that are commonly found in it. The human body is largely made up of water and is important in most of the processes that take place in it. One of these processes is osmosis, which takes place in human cells. The study of this process has led to the development the best filter for drinking water – reverse osmosis.
