Reverse Osmosis Water Filter

Not all water filters are created equal, here we explore how a Various reverse osmosis water filter works and compare it to an atmospheric water generator so you can make an informed decision.


What is a Reverse Osmosis water filter?

A reverse osmosis water filter is a very finely packed filtration device that is used to remove impurities from water by forcing it through a semi-permeable membrane.


The most common use for reverse osmosis is to purify salt water used as drinking water, but it can also be used to treat well water and wastewater.


How does a Reverse Osmosis water filter work?

Reverse osmosis filters can remove many impurities, including dissolved minerals, bacteria, and pesticides as well as salt.


They are often used in homes and businesses to improve the quality of tap or well water.


Reverse osmosis filters require regular maintenance depending on the quality of the water to be cleaned, but they are generally easy to use and do improve the quality of your tap water.


Why are Reverse Osmosis water filters so popular?

A reverse osmosis water filter is a popular choice for those looking to improve the quality of their tap, tank or well water, as it’s regarded as one of the best ways to remove contaminants in water before drinking.


Are All Reverse Osmosis cassettes the same?

There are many different types of filters. To clean water suitable for drinking a WES atmospheric water machine uses fine filters leading up to a “non-reject” RO cassette and combines it with a Total Contaminant Removal or TCR Filter. This is the best option for clean and best-tasting water.


Drinking water that has been through the TCR filtration process have many benefits including it improves the immune system and benefits your general health.

Reverse osmosis system

The biggest downside to a reverse osmosis system is that they produce wastewater or reject that can include chemicals used in the process. In fact, most RO systems waste over 50% of the water that passes through it whereas, the domestic Water from Air system does not produce any wastewater from the Dow Chemical designed Reverse Osmosis filter which uniquely does not produce waste. RO systems remove all dissolved solids and chemicals, including naturally occurring minerals.


Finally, RO systems need to be installed, normally under the kitchen benchtop. Water from the Air systems can be placed anywhere as they do not require installation, they are a simple plug and play machine.


Conclusion

Although Reverse Osmosis is a popular and good choice and better than no filtration at all, Atmospheric Water Generators offer significant advantages when looking to purchase a water filtration system.
