How Can Countertop Reverse Osmosis Systems Harm My Health?

If the truth be told, any home filtration system is better than none, but a countertop reverse osmosis one can lull you into a false sense of security, thinking you are getting healthy water when in fact, you're not.

 These countertop reverse osmosis systems were never designed for humans to use but for the print and paper industries than needed demineralized water, which is stripped of the essential trace minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Even the world Health Organization recommends we drink water with all the minerals in. Otherwise it could cause a mineral deficiency in us which can store up health problems for the future.

In addition to removing what we need, they let through many of today's synthetic chemicals like pesticides and prescription drugs as they are molecularly smaller than water, leaving you open to infection.

Many sellers of these systems then suggest a carbon filter to remove them, so what is the point of the first reverse osmosis step then!

With today's cutting edge technology there are far cheaper, far more effective ways to protect yourself from the thousands of toxins in our supplies, with activated carbon block filters being the very best.

The countertop reverse osmosis types cannot get close to what a carbon block filter can achieve, especially if it has a multi-stage process and ion exchange as these can remove virtually all the contaminants present, leaving only safe and healthy water with the minerals left in.

These are also the only type the US EPA recommends today.

In our polluted world we need the very best level of protection and carbon block filtration is the easiest, most effective and most economical way to have safe, healthy water for you and your family.

With the risk so great and the solution so simple, why take the chance?

With the introduction of chloramine to disinfect many supplies by the municipals, you can expect higher levels of lead in the water as chloramine leaches it from the pipes and fittings, even brass ones and at the moment over 1 in 5 Americans have their water treated this way.

So my advice is to avoid the countertop reverse osmosis systems in favor of the cheaper and far more effective alternatives to safeguard the health of your family.
