Don't you have the same problem with the salt that you have with the water, no way to tell what dose everyone is receiving?

- para_parolu 3y agoMy guess it easier to buy different salt but hard to get second water pipe.
- Thorrez 3y ago>A Reverse Osmosis (RO) system can remove 85-92%* of fluoride in your water. https://www.paragonwater.com/does-reverse-osmosis-remove-fluoride/ https://www.paragonwater.com/does-reverse-osmosis-remove-flu...
- mixedCase 3y agoAn RO filter is not accesible to the majority of the population.
- Thorrez 3y agoBut it's a lot cheaper than "get[ting a] second water pipe."
- sp0rk 3y agoRO systems waste something like three gallons for every usable gallon they produce.
- 20after4 3y agoI think that's improved, at least according to product literature (I haven't tested it myself), however: The latest generation of small under-sink reverse osmosis filters claim to waste only 1 gallon for every 2 gallons of usable water. Still bad but much better than before.
- Thorrez 3y agoIt won't be used for showering, bathing, flushing toilets, washing clothes, washing dishes, watering plants, washing cars, filling pools, or other outdoor water usage. How much does it increase a household's water usage?
- elif 3y agoRO water is demineralized and the pH is impacted. It is not a healthy drinking water outside of occasional use. It is also not appetizing and thus it's easy to become dehydrated. After years of RO water I switched to spring water due to health issues and I will never look back. Of course, it is insanely expensive to drink 3L of spring water and so frustrating to not have unpoisoned water from the tap.
- webworker 3y agoThere are certain models which have a sixth stage to remineralize the water and balance the pH. Also relying on municipal water for mineralization is a bad argument. The minerals in water supplies is highly localized, or drinking tap water could leave you deficient in one or more minerals depending just depending on where you live.
- Thorrez 3y agoHuh, I drank RO water for most of my liquid intake growing up and loved the taste. I like it a lot more than tap water.
