I have finally made a decision about RO [reverse osmosis].
Though it could be an unnecessary overkill, it does do the trick of getting everything out of the water [sodium, fluoride, etc.]. I’ve been debating the pros and cons of reverse osmosis in my mind for months now. But now, after much thought and online research, I have decided that the pros outweigh the cons. I give my reasons below.
I’ve finally made the decision to purchase my new Reverse Osmosis System Complete with Remineralizer…which is a specially designed RO system to work perfectly with a water ionizer.
I don’t have a sodium based whole house softener, high blood pressure, a kidney condition or any reason to be put on a low sodium restricted diet. These would be the normal reasons to choose an RO system. There are prefilters for most things, like fluoride, arsenic, lead, and I debated getting a fluoride/arsenic/lead prefilter instead of an RO system but because RO is the absolutely best thing to take out the bad stuff and it’s the only thing that can really do a good job of taking out sodium I decided to go with the RO.
An RO system takes up space under the counter, and requires work to put it in & yearly replacement of the “bladder”, remineralizer and filter…so I did struggle with these issues before I made up my mind to buy an RO system. Actually, I wouldn’t have decided on an RO system if I didn’t have such a great product that was specifically designed to use with water ionizers. The other really nice thing about my RO system with Remineralizer is the quality of the remineralizer. This contains coral calcium and 70+ trace minerals for totally a organic and naturally healthy mineral source. The extra health benefits of having my RO system and remineralizer in place are worth the effort and little bit of extra money involved. The space under my sink is limited but the health benefits, again, make it worth it to rearrange all this.
Here’s another reason I decided to go with my new RO system and Remineralizer: the tests I’ve seen with RO water that was remineralized with our system shows it really does produce great ionization results. [see this link - look on pg. 2 for the test results: http://health-e-water.info/lab-report.silver-state.pdf ]
If money, time and space were not an issue, I would have it installed this new RO system long before now. Now that I’ve finally made my decision, I feel very happy about it. As soon as I get my new RO system installed, I’ll of course blog about it, so stay tuned.

Blog-Master Warnings:
- People should know, that when you use RO you need to remineralize [my RO system does that]. Otherwise the water is so void of everything that it will begin to leach acids from the air. Also, when un-remineralized RO water pass through your body, it can leach minerals right out of your cells and joints.
- Also, reverse osmosis doesn’t replace the need for a water ionizer! Ionized water is alkaline [the right pH to buffer the acids in your cell wastes]. Ionized water also has a high negative ORP [antioxidant] and the water clusters are smaller and more easily passed through your body and absorbed.
