With a huge trend of people turning towards natural health, it has been emphasized that drinking pure water is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Sadly, there are over 2,100 toxins that can be in our drinking water, including chlorine, lead, chemical run-offs from large farms and corporate pollution. These toxins are found in your tap water, whether you have well water or municipal water.

Many consumers think they are protecting themselves by drinking bottled water, but it has been reported that bottled water may not be much better. It can also be very expensive and environmentally harmful as the millions of plastic bottles are manufactured, transported, and then disposed of in our landfills; they’re slowly killing our planet!

The solution to protecting your health, your family’s health, and the health of our planet is a home water filtration system. There are many different water purifying systems that can be installed in your home. When you begin to research water filtration systems, you will notice significant differences between products, including their cost.

It’s true, if you have salty or brackish water with a lot of inorganic material in it, you will be pleased with anything that will clean it up and reverse osmosis water units will. But, if you are getting your water from a municipal water system or a chlorinated well; I’ve got good news for you. There are much cheaper selective filtration systems you can get that will do a better job, and produce healthier water, than reverse osmosis systemes. In this article we will look at each system and how they work, and you can decide what’s best for you.

Reverse osmosis (RO) systems work by pushing water against a semi-permeable membrane with pores so small that only objects the size of a water molecule, or smaller, will pass through. As a matter of fact, the pores are so small they will even reject a large part of the water itself along with minerals and most contaminants. In most RO systems, the rejected water is simply wasted. Typically, this amounts to about two or three wasted gallons for every gallon filtered.
