Reverse osmosis water filtration systems have been touted by some as the only filter that you will ever need if you want to have safe drinking water. That is a lot of hype. Reverse osmosis filtration systems are not nearly as effective as the people selling the systems would like you to believe. Realize that these systems are based primarily on the same design as the filtering system that has been used for years by your local water treatment facility. So if you don’t trust the water coming to your tap that is filtered basically the same way by your city water department why would you shell out money to have a very similar system installed in your home?
Distilled water is safer than drinking water which has been filtered by a reverse osmosis system, but not by nearly as much as everyone seems to think. Distillation is the oldest method used by man to purify water, but it is not perfect and is not as effective as it is touted to be either. Some chemical contaminants can survive the process.
