Reverse Osmosis Remineralization

Reverse osmosis is the most efficient and cost-effective method of purifying water in your business or home water system. This is because the membrane through which the water is filtered has an extremely small pore size – 0.0001 microns – that can remove over 99.9% of dissolved solids, including all particulates, most organic compounds and more than 90% of ionic contamination. Clogging of the membrane is prevented by pre-filters that first remove large sediment particles.

Why a Reverse Osmosis Water Filter with Minerals can be Good

The small pore size means almost everything is removed from the water including the minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Some people feel that their water needs a certain level of minerals in it to be healthy. Calcium is essential for healthy teeth and bones, muscle contraction, and the nervous system. Magnesium also helps maintain healthy bones and controls biochemical reactions while sodium and potassium are needed for muscle and nerve functions. We, therefore, have to maintain the correct levels of these minerals so that the growth and repair of body cells are maintained, and the heart is supported.

The vast majority of those minerals are located in what we eat. The best way to maintain a healthy mineral content in your body is to eat a well-balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and meats of your choice. While a small amount of the minerals dissolved in water can be absorbed by our bodies the vast majority of them get flushed down the drain. The minerals in the food we eat have been chelated and are much more easily absorbed by our bodies. Adding a proper multivitamin with minerals is also a good way to supplement a healthy diet.

How to Remineralize Reverse Osmosis Water

Since minerals are removed from purified water, it is possible to obtain them through a healthy, balanced diet or by drinking smoothies and fruit juices. However, it’s often preferred to remineralize reverse osmosis water to create a flavor one might be used to.

Water can be remineralized by adding trace mineral drops or Himalayan Sea salt to drinking water or by using alkaline water pitchers or bottles for drinking water. However, these can deliver only small volumes of water, require constant re-filling and the filters have to be replaced every one to three months. A better and more convenient option is to remineralize reverse osmosis water by incorporating a remineralizing filter immediately after the reverse osmosis filter or to buy a reverse osmosis system with a remineralizing filter already fitted.

The Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station is one that has a remineralizing cartridge. This automatically produces alkaline water out of the faucet. Some filters will add magnesium or calcium while others can add up to five types of beneficial minerals, with cartridges requiring replacement every six months.

What are the Benefits of Remineralizing Reverse Osmosis Water?

A reverse osmosis water filter with minerals added provides several benefits:

• Improve the flavor of reverse osmosis water, which is often criticized as being bland or flat, even unpleasant
• A better flavor will encourage you to drink more, increasing your water intake and ensuring you’re properly hydrated
• Water containing electrolytes quenches thirst better than pure water
• Proper hydration improves overall health and enhances the function of the brain, nervous system, bones, and teeth plus other benefits.

The absolute best way to ensure you drink and use pure water with beneficial minerals is to filter it using a reverse osmosis system and then remineralize it. As one of the water system company, We can install a system like a whole house water filter and high quality reverse osmosis system that will make it the best it can be, protecting and improving your health.

Reverse Osmosis & Remineralization - The Best Way To Achieve The Water You Want

Having pure and soft water is the goal of many since it leads to better health, an improved appearance, the avoidance of plumbing problems and better-tasting food among many other benefits. One of the best ways to achieve this aim is a high quality reverse osmosis system that has been proven to be the most effective way to purify water.

The process has been criticized recently with allegations that it is too effective in that it removes good minerals as well as contaminants and so can be harmful to humans. This doesn’t mean that reverse osmosis filtration should be avoided, but that water remineralization may be necessary for those that have any concerns.
