A Reverse Osmosis Faucet: How It Works And Why It’s Alarmingly Unsafe For Your Family

A reverse osmosis faucet produces some of the clearest water you’ll ever drink. True. But that same water may, in fact, be some of the most unhealthy water you will ever wet your lips with.

Let me explain.

For one thing, a reverse osmosis faucet will give your home a steady stream of water that looks clean and pure. And since you’ve installed this special faucet, you’ll know that this water comes from a remarkably complex water purifier with some impressive science inside.

But the very science and complexity of the reverse osmosis faucet is what let him down. Because the truth is that this system of purifying water is really bad for your health.

You can immediately understand this when you see how reverse osmosis works. With this process, unhealthy water is pushed under pressure through an extremely fine membrane or mess. And this has been used very successfully in the Middle East on large commercial desert farms where salt water was readily available and only low quality water was needed for droplets. And in submarines, where sailors wouldn’t be drinking reverse osmosis water for long periods of time.

But as the water is forced through the membrane and then into your reverse osmosis faucet, two things happen.

One, a lot of water is wasted. The reverse osmosis system is probably the most wasteful method of treating water, since three times as much raw water is returned to the environment as the treated water that flows into the tap.

And two, the healthy minerals are removed by the reverse osmosis faucet. The membrane filter system is so fine that it removes things like calcium and magnesium that your body absolutely needs to function properly. These healthy minerals dissolve in groundwater deep within the earth and slowly rise to the surface where they accumulate in the water we drink. The same process that the reverse osmosis faucet depends on removes these minerals. You will never get them in your water as long as you drink only from that faucet.

Then there’s another problem with a reverse osmosis faucet: it relies on a thin membrane to filter out impurities, but it lets water molecules through. What if the contaminants have a smaller molecular size than water? They will pass! And because many harmful chemicals and pharmaceuticals are smaller than water, they will get into your family’s drinking glasses if they are present in your water supply. They cannot be stopped by reverse osmosis.

So what you need to do in your faucet is install a filter system that allows healthy minerals to pass through and blocks out chemicals and contaminants that a simple physical membrane will let through. There are systems out there that will do this, and you can find them by searching the internet.
