Residential Reverse Osmosis Systems - The Good and the Bad

by Peter Patterson

Marketers of residential reverse osmosis systems have done a great job at marketing the latest in revolutionary equipment for pure and safe drinking water. But the truth is that reverse osmosis systems and its benefits are not exactly what people have been expecting.

Residential reverse osmosis systems are revolutionary only because they are the first reverse osmosis systems built for home-use instead of industrial usage. Reverse osmosis has been the primary standard of water treatment in the industrial world for nearly a century. It’s primarily used in order to keep mineral deposits from forming in machines such as boilers.

Reverse Osmosis systems for residential use has only recently begun and is currently being explored. It’s been marked and especially touted as a water purifying system that is a scaled down version of the filters used to clean water at treatment facilities. But what people do not know is that reverse osmosis systems at treatment facilities do not effectively remove harmful contaminants from the water supply completely.

Even though the idea of residential reverse osmosis systems is a relatively new one, the reverse osmosis system is actually older technology that has been utilized for water treatment for over a century. First introduced in order to slow down the death rate from waterborne diseases, the system only worked moderately well. It wasn’t until chlorine was introduced in 1908 that these systems began to be effective in cleaning water.

The problem with reverse osmosis systems is that it is not designed to be a 100% effective water cleaning apparatus. The porous membrane filter is a capable de-mineralization tool, but it is not effective in the removal of anything smaller or lighter than a water molecule. This shortcoming is something that owners of residential reverse osmosis systems residential systems aren’t finding out about it until it is too late.

There are many toxic chemicals and bacteria flowing through our drinking water system, and most of them flow through the porous membrane filter along with the water. As does a horde of bacterial agents, that are way too small for even the membrane to capture. The primary worry of owners of residential reverse osmosis systems is that their system is quite helpless to thwart these contaminants.
