Water Filtration using RO

Two biggest problems with the reverse osmosis filter that companies don’t want you to know:
1. The reverse osmosis filter removes all of the good, healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium along with the things you don’t want in your water. Many reports and books stress the opinion that long-term consumption of demineralized water can in fact be dangerous. Two negative things happen when you drink water that has been stripped of its natural minerals. Firstly, demineralized water becomes acidic. Any time we consume an acidic substance, our bodies will pull minerals from our teeth and bones to produce bicarbonate in order to neutralize the acid. Second, it has been proven that when body fluids become more acid than alkaline the production of free radicals increases, causing an increase in the risk of cancer!
2. For every gallon of filtered water produced, 3-4 gallons of water is wasted. If you are paying for water your will definitely notice a jump in your water bill.
Therefore, before you spend a lot of money on a reverse osmosis water filter, consider the risks to your health. Look at your other alternatives and compare all the home water purifier technology available today for effectiveness, safety and value.
