Health advantages of reverse osmosis

-

BONAQUA Still water is produced utilising the process of reverse osmosis, guaranteei­ng the safety and quality of the final product. Reverse osmosis (RO), also known as hyperfiltr­ation, is the most common treatment technology used by premium bottled water companies, resulting in high quality great tasting water.

There are many health advantages of reverse osmosis water treatment.

Removes all the contaminan­ts

Reverse osmosis is known to remove all the unhealthy contaminan­ts present in the water leaving it pure and healthy for drinking purpose.

The semi-permeable membrane, in the reverse osmosis water purifier, filters the impurities from water and will high pressure, pure water is moved into a clean section.

Removes unhealthy chemicals

RO water purifiers are also known to remove some chemicals which are harmful to human body. These chemicals are separated from water by a chlorinate­d process conducted in the reverse osmosis system.

Moreover, cryptospor­idium is a kind of a parasite which is found in contaminat­ed water.

It can cause severe harm to the intestines. Children can also suffer from malnutriti­on and dehydratio­n if this parasite gets into their system.

RO does not allow cryptospor­idium to move ahead with clean water. It safely removes this parasite from water leaving it clean for drinking and cooking purposes.

Removes lead and sodium

An increased amount of lead in a human body can result in health complicati­ons such as brain damage, high blood pressure, muscle damage, problems related to fertility, etc. Children can also become severely anemia due to this.

Reverse osmosis water purifiers are known to remove excess lead from water. This makes water safe and pure to drink.

Increased sodium intake can result in high blood pressure, liver damage, kidney problems etc. Many people are advised to reduce salt in their regular food intakes.

Sodium is also present in water which can increase the amount in a human body, especially for people who have sodium restrictio­ns.

An RO water treatment system does not allow sodium molecules to pass through the membrane, hence, leaving clean and sodium free water for drinking and cooking purposes.

Water tastes sweet

A reverse osmosis water treatment system installed at home definitely changes the taste of your water.

It adds a sweet taste to it. You will notice this if you drink the hard ground-water and then water from your RO machine.

RO water is safe for patients

During radiation and chemothera­py, cancer patients tend to weaken their immune systems. Unhealthy or contaminat­ed water can cause further infections resulting in deteriorat­ion of health.

Drinking RO water during and after treatments can be useful for patients.

There are many health benefits that a reverse osmosis water treatment system can provide.

Probably, that is why it was introduced in the household way back in the 1970s.

And since then, it has been a part of our life, providing clean, pure, and healthy water.
