Reverse Osmosis vs Traditional Filtration

Reverse Osmosis vs Traditional Filtration

It’s really important to understand the difference between purification and basic water softening. There are numerous benefits of purifying, rather than traditional water softening.

Traditional water softening devices are primarily designed to reduce the hardness of your water and prevent further limescale build up, while improving the amount of impurities and contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, poor taste and odour from your water. Water softening devices typical contain a single cartridge, non-activated carbon filter rated at 20-30 microns.

The Key Differences

Unlike traditional water softening devices, during the extensive reverse osmosis water purification process, water is pushed through an ultra-fine and technologically advanced membrane.

Reverse osmosis membranes filter down to rating of 0.0001 microns, and therefore able to provide an ultra fine purification process. The reverse osmosis process has a very high effectiveness in removing organic and inorganic compounds such as, viruses, bacteria, excessive metals, protozoa, and unwanted total dissolved solids (TDS) from your water.

This includes organic and inorganic compounds such as; herbicides, pesticides, nitrates, algae, phosphates, salmonella, shigella, norovirus, rotavirus, sodium, chloride, copper, chromium, lead, arsenic, fluoride, radium, sulphate, nitrate and many more.

The Benefits of Osmosis

The key difference between reverse osmosis and traditional water softening devices, is the presence of the advanced ultra fine membrane, providing a ultra fine purification process of 0.0001 microns.

When you choose to purify, rather than soften your water, you will:

Remove Contaminants

Remove unwanted contaminants from your water, stop consuming organic and inorganic compounds, remove TDS, heavy metals and heavy molecule chemicals like herbicides and pesticides from your water.

Improve Your Water

Improve your drinking water by purifying and enjoy a completely odourless alternative. Mineralized and pH balanced, providing essential benefits for your health and vitality.

Eliminate Limescale

Completely eliminate limescale from your home, water softeners will prevent further scale build up, our reverse osmosis purifying devices can even remove existing limescale from your home, as well as preventing future build up.

Protect Your Skin

Protect your skin from potential irritants. If you have sensitive or acne prone skin, washing your face with reverse osmosis water can reduce outbreaks by eliminating unwanted chemicals from your water.

Protect the Environment

Protect the environment, by making a immense contribution to reducing your carbon emissions and plastic bottle use at home.

Cost Effective Solution

If you are tired of spending money on bottled water, a reverse osmosis system could be your solution. Reverse osmosis filtered water can provide the same taste and quality of bottled water.
