Access to clean water is essential for every household, but not all water is the same, especially when it comes to the water we drink, cook with, and use daily. In the UK, more homeowners are becoming aware of the importance of water quality. As a result, many are turning to advanced solutions to ensure their water is safe and healthy. One such solution gaining widespread attention is reverse osmosis water filtration.
In this blog, we’ll explore how reverse osmosis works, highlighting its health benefits and how it can transform your home’s water supply into a source of purity and wellness. With Aquifer Pure, you can trust that your home’s drinking water meets the highest quality standards.
Our cutting-edge reverse osmosis systems are designed to thoroughly purify water, improving overall health and well-being. Let’s take a closer look at how reverse osmosis water filtration can make a positive impact on your health and lifestyle.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a purification process in which unfiltered water is pushed through a semi-permeable membrane, effectively removing contaminants like total dissolved solids (TDS). The result is clean, safe water for drinking and household use.
Concerns about the contaminants and chemicals in drinking water are on the rise, as they may be affecting long-term health. While our bodies are capable of filtering nutrients from food and water, they aren’t designed to eliminate inorganic chemicals, pollutants, and other harmful substances we encounter daily. Research suggests that these toxins accumulate in fatty tissue and organs, increasing the risk of disease. For this reason, many people are proactively reducing their chemical exposure by making healthier choices.
During the reverse osmosis process, water passes through the membrane, which traps contaminants, leaving behind clean, pure drinking water.
Water quality issues can include the presence of bacteria, total coliform, iron, manganese, hardness, corrosiveness, nitrates, copper, lead, discoloration, and unpleasant odors. Depending on the water source, other factors like salinity, chloride, sodium, sulfate, and fluoride can also be concerns.
The semi-permeable membrane in reverse osmosis systems has microscopic pores that block contaminants while allowing only pure water to pass through. The result is a significantly higher-quality drinking water than standard tap water.
