List of contaminants removed by Reverse Osmosis

Pro's and Con's of Reverse Osmosis

RO filtration gives you very high quality water. It removes just about every contaminant you can think of.

They are more expensive than a standard water filter.

Is it overkill?

To be honest British tap water is usually good quality. Many people simply want to remove basic contaminants like chlorine in order to get "mineral water" quality for a fraction of the price of bottled water.

Many dangerous contaminants, like bacteria, are taken out at the water treatment plants.

However other contaminants get left in the water which RO will remove and a standard water filter won't.

The main reason for choosing an RO unit would be if you wanted to remove a specific contaminant, for example because of an allergy or other medical condition.

Other than that, if you are looking for a good quality water filter you might be best opting for our "Master Purifier" undersink system.

This is because the initial purchase and ongoing cartridge renewal costs are much lower than an RO

(For example, at the time of writing, the RO is on sale for £197 vs the Master Purifier at £67.

The replacement filters for the RO are £34 every six months vs £13 for the Master Purifier).

Another reason why people buy RO's is because they see them as a status symbol.

If you do want an RO, please note that we sell very high quality ones at about half the price of many other suppliers.

Be wary about buying anything too cheap though. While RO's do remove nearly all micro-organisms, cheaply made and/or deteriorating parts can greatly increase the risk of contamination through tiny leaks within the system.

The Issue of Waste Water

As part of the Reverse Osmosis filtering process about 70% of the water is rejected.

While this is only lost from your drinking and cooking water - ie not all the water you use in your home - in these times of water meters and general environmental awareness, this may be off putting.

The "waste / rejected water" is automatically sent down the drain. However you could recycle it eg for garden watering.

Important Note about Acidic water

One of the side effects of filtering water with Reverse Osmosis is that it can make the water more acidic.

It is now the opinion of an increasing number of experts that people in the "developed world" have excess acid "acidosis" and that this is behind many health problems.

In the natural health and alternative medicine communities, acidosis is considered to be an underlying cause of many degenerative diseases.

(Interesting fact: Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in 1931 for his research into the causes of cancer. He claimed it was caused by a lack of cellular oxygenation resulting from acidosis in the body.

In the Far East - where Reverse Osmosis filtration is very common - they use remineralisers on their RO units as standard.

Unfortunately this is not the case with the great majority of Reverse Osmosis suppliers in the UK and because of this our Eastern friends think, frankly, that we are crazy.

(We only found out about this issue by chance, at a trade fair, during a casual conversation with a Taiwanese manufacturer. None of our British suppliers had ever mentioned it).

Since then we now supply remineralising units to all our Reverse Osmosis filters. It costs us more but we prefer to sleep soundly at night !

The remineraliser makes the filtered water alkaline and as well as reducing acidity in our bodies, it is also thought to be better at flushing out toxins and waste matter whilst restoring the electrolyte balance.

Installing The System

Everything you need is in the pack.

It's very easy to install. No plumber is necessary.

You might need a plumber if your undersink pipework is different from standard. But this should be a simple, one hour job for them at most.

Otherwise it is all designed to be done by a householder. Full instructions are included. It should take 20 or 30 minutes. You will need a normal electric drill. That's all.

And we've got friendly (and free) customer support available.

Replacing The Filters

Like all water filters you will need to replace the filters on the system periodically to ensure maximum performance.

You need to change three of the filters every 6 months. We send you a reminder. The current cost for the full replacement kit is is £34.

Replacing these is very easy and will take a few minutes at most

Every 3 years or so you will need to change the membrane. You will know when to do this by the change in the taste of the water. The current cost of a new membrane is £79.

All the required filters are included when you purchase the RO system.
