What is an RO?
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y agoReverse Osmosis
- Nasrudith 4y agoReverse osmosis water filter systems. They basically "squeeze" water through holes small enough for it but not other larger contaminants.
- Gigachad 4y agoLooks like it also removes minerals from the water. Not sure if that’s a problem.
- forum_ghost 4y agoit doesn't remove all minerals. Flouride isn't removed, unless the unit also has an alumina filter.
- reducesuffering 4y agoSource? All I see say RO does remove fluoride, like https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/system.php?pws=CA0110001 https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/system.php?pws=CA0110001 at the bottom.
- oceanplexian 4y agoThe good ones actually have an additional filter that remineralizes the water. Which is great, IMO because this also keeps the taste of the water consistent and you don’t have any funky flavors from the mineral content of your area.
- dolni 4y agoThere is some literature out there about pure RO water not being great for you. My anecdote: I have been purchasing RO water from the local grocery store for quite some time because I dislike the taste of my tap water after softening. For a long while I drank the RO water as-is. When I started adding mineral drops to the water, I felt a lot better.
