Next-RO: The Superiority of Reverse Osmosis Water
Falsehood – Reverse Osmosis Water is Unhealthy to Drink
Truth: Reverse Osmosis water is very clean and proven good for our bodies.
Reverse Osmosis, (RO) has been called dead water because of its purity. Detractors say it is man-made, unnatural and unhealthy. They claim that RO water can only be used for industrial applications and not for human consumption. They say that RO water is too pure and clean to be good because such perfectly clean mineral-free water does not exist naturally on earth. They forgot about a little thing called RAIN.
Rainwater is water that has been stripped of all minerals and is one of the purest and cleanest waters on earth. Human beings have relied on drinking rainwater for thousands of years without any negative health effects. Only recently has rainwater been polluted by the industrial age and man’s pollution of the skies. Ask yourself this. What can be more natural than mother-nature’s life giving rain?
With all the scientific research that has been done over the years on reverse osmosis water, none has ever documented any negative health effects from water treated by this method. In fact RO technology was actually invented by the US military and our military personnel still use it currently for drinking water.
FACT- Bottled Water = RO Water
When you drink most brands of store bottled water you are actually drinking RO water.
FACT- Soft Drinks = RO Water
When you drink soft-drinks and soda, you are drinking mineral-free treated RO water. Vitamin water, sports drinks & energy drinks are also made from RO purified water.
Falsehood- Reverse Osmosis is Dead water.
Truth: Reverse Osmosis is just a simple film based filter, nothing more.
Reverse Osmosis is just a normal film based filter that pushes water through a film-membrane from one side to the other. It works just like every other filter mechanism you have ever seen throughout your life. Water vapors and molecules are small enough to pass through the semi-permeable membrane, contaminants are not.
The only difference is that the RO membrane is much more refined and has much smaller pores which means it restricts more contaminants than other filter cartridge systems. There is nothing scary, complex, dead or unnatural about reverse osmosis water. The term “dead water” is an invention of the RO competition and the term has no basis in fact or scientific or medical usage.
FACT- Reverse Osmosis is just a filter membrane with much smaller pores than other filters.
Reverse Osmosis technology has been used widely in the food industry for many years. It is used in the dairy industry for the production of whey protein powders and for the concentration of milk to reduce shipping costs.
Reverse osmosis is used globally throughout the wine industry for many practices including wine and juice concentration, taint removal; such as acetic acid, smoke taint and alcohol removal.
All the major beer brewers worldwide use RO water exclusively. Island countries around the world depend on RO water from sea water desalination plants to survive.
Falsehood- RO Removes Healthy Minerals from Water
Truth: Reverse Osmosis removes inorganic minerals which are unhealthy.
RO systems remove dissolved minerals from tap water. Humans get the vast majority of our minerals from the foods we eat, not from drinking water. For example, 1 glass of orange juice has the same amount of minerals as 30 gallons of tap water.
FACT- Our bodies use food incorporated organic minerals and not free floating dissolved inorganic minerals on order to thrive and remain healthy.
Tap water contains only inorganic minerals which cannot be properly absorbed by our bodies. Human beings need organic minerals which are only available from living organisms like plants and vegetables and are easily absorbed by our systems. The inorganic minerals found in water have little to no benefits to people and in fact are actually detrimental to our health.
It is estimated that over a 60-year lifespan, a person drinking tap or mineral water will be ingesting about 200 to 300 pounds of rock that their body cannot use. (These are the so-called “healthy minerals” that RO detractors complain are being taken out of the water!) While most of these minerals will be eliminated, some will be stored in our tissues becoming toxic. The primary culprits are calcium salts and over time they can cause gallstones, kidney stones, bone & joint calcification, arthritis and hardening of the arteries.
FACT- Reverse osmosis water purification simply delivers the cleanest, purest drinking water available today. Another important fact is that reverse osmosis is the only water purification system that can remove dangerous Pharmaceuticals & Drugs from our drinking water. Reverse Osmosis removes virtually all pharmaceutical contaminants.
Falsehood- Reverse Osmosis Leaches Minerals from the Body
Truth: Reverse Osmosis water has been proven repeatedly to not leach minerals from the human body.
Water is called the universal solvent as it always “wants” to have substances dissolved in it. The purer the water, the more that it can dissolve. The purest water has a neutral pH of 7. The falsehood claims that low pH or slightly acidic water harms the body. Most juices, sodas and such are far more acidic and certainly cannot hurt the human body because our physiology quickly obtains homeostasis using saliva, stomach fluids, etc. to quickly equilibrate all bodily fluids.
FACT- Reverse Osmosis technology was created in the 1970s and has been scientifically tested in every conceivable way since then. There has never been any documented evidence to prove that reverse osmosis treated water can leach minerals from the human body. The US Navy has used water with less than 3 parts per million total dissolved solids (TDS) for more than 40 years, according to a 1993 Water Quality Association (WQA) report, which also said the Army’s field personnel drinks RO water.
In early July, 2008, the Brighton Standard Blade, a Colorado newspaper contacted the EPA at their readers request to find out if RO water leaches minerals. The EPA spokeswoman said that their organization does not support this idea. The WQA also rejects the idea that RO water can leach minerals in a 1993 report titled, ‘Consumption of Low TDS Water’. Their extensive research presented evidence that suggests water with low amounts of total dissolved solids (TDS), such as distilled water and reverse osmosis treated water has no ill effects on humans.
Water Technology Magazine also disagrees with this falsehood, writing that reverse osmosis water is very clean, and its purity will actually help improve the absorption of all nutrients including good organic minerals. No more ingesting of bad inorganic minerals (rocks) means the body will no longer be stressed and taxed with trying to absorb something that wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place. Cleaner water will also improve the elimination of wastes at the cellular level and increase your body’s metabolic activity.
Falsehood- Reverse Osmosis Produces Very Acidic Water with Low pH
Truth: Reverse Osmosis produces mildy acidic near neutral purified water.
The truth is, water pH will instantly change when it is ingested and comes into contact with the food in your stomach. Even on an empty stomach, your stomach acid alone is already several hundred times more acidic than RO water. Stomach acid ph is 2 compared to RO water pH of 6 to 7.
Reverse Osmosis slight lowering of purified water pH is caused by the removal of unhealthy inorganic minerals from tap water such as calcium, magnesium, iron, etc.
The human body regulates pH levels constantly to find balance and equilibrium. Therefore under normal conditions it will always maintain a near neutral 7.4 pH balance. Even eating very acidic foods (very low pH) only alters the body’s pH by a very tiny amount and only for a short time. The healthy body is very robust and it will restore homeostatic pH fairly quickly and easily.
Falsehood- Reverse Osmosis Wastes a Lot of Water
Truth: Reverse Osmosis does use some water but the water can be recycled.
For every gallon of clean water produced by an antiquated RO system, 4 to 6 gallons of water is used. The Next-RO Point of Use pure water system brings the water usage to 2-3 gallons used per gallon of pure water produced. Remember, RO systems purify your water and removes thousands of unhealthy contaminants from tap water that water softeners, counter top and faucet filters cannot.
FACT- The new breakthrough Next-RO Point-of-Use pure water system features high efficiency for the first time, which means that the Next-RO unit refills to 1 1/2 gallons of pure RO water in 35 minutes compared to 4-6 hours of reject water production for conventional reverse osmosis systems.
System reject water from RO system use is actually pretty clean and similar to tap water in purity levels. It can be piped for use in gardens, lawns, fish ponds or stored and used for other household applications.
Falsehood- Reverse Osmosis is Too Expensive
Next-RO Point-of-Use pure water is very inexpensive compared to bottled water purchases. Most store bought bottled water is reverse osmosis produced. Why not make your own at home and save the money of buying bottled water from stores? Next-RO can be connected directly to coffeemakers and ice machines.
Falsehood- Counter top and Faucet filters are good
