Reverse Osmosis: A Filtration System for Healthier Water
When thinking about your family’s health, maintaining an active lifestyle and healthy diet likely come to mind, but have you considered how your home’s drinking water affects your family? Contaminants in your unfiltered drinking water can be harmful to your home, but reverse osmosis can ensure you’re providing your family with cleaner, healthier water.
What is reverse osmosis?
To understand reverse osmosis, it helps to first understand osmosis. Osmosis is a naturally occurring process by which water with a low concentration of dissolved minerals will move through a semi-permeable membrane to mix with water with a higher concentration of dissolved minerals.
Reverse osmosis is the opposite process. The water is pushed the reverse way through a semi-permeable membrane, which allows water molecules, but not contaminants, to pass through. In doing so, the cleaner water is left over.
What are the benefits of reverse osmosis?
Reverse osmosis filtration is more advanced than other types of drinking water filtration. The benefits of reverse osmosis include reducing up to 99% of the harmful impurities, like nitrates, arsenic, lead and radium, in your home’s tap water.
Using water filtered through reverse osmosis can also improve the taste of coffee, tea, soups and sauces and can be used for healthier baby formula. Reverse osmosis can even save you money and reduce plastic waste by eliminating the need to purchase bottled water to enjoy fresh, clean water.
Where can I get a reverse osmosis filtration system?
A Millennium Reverse Osmosis system from Hellenbrand can be installed under your kitchen sink or in a cabinet. The system uses four stages of advanced filtration, including a spiral-wound reverse osmosis membrane, to reduce contaminants in your drinking water, so your family can enjoy the freshest, healthiest water possible.
