Reverse osmosis is the finest water filtration method known. This process will
allow the removal of particles as small as ions from a solution. It is used
to purify water and remove salts and other impurities in order to improve the
color, taste or properties of the fluid. R.O. uses a membrane that is semi-permeable,
allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting
other ions and contaminants from passing.
This technology uses a process
known as crossflow to allow the r.o. membrane to continually clean itself. This
is the reason of why an r.o. element can last many years before clogging or
need replacement. This
water purification process requires a driving force to push the fluid through
the membrane, and the most common force is household water pressure or pressure
from a booster pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving force and
efficiency.

Water can prevent and alleviate many of our symptoms
WATER
AND DRY EYES/ SKIN
Picture a
dry, scaly, cracking desert. Then, picture what water can do to moisten
the land. Skin, for some, can be a dry terrain as well.
Many factors
can cause dry eyes and skin, however, one of the most overlooked solutions
is drinking water. Dehydration is becoming more and more of a contributor
to health issues today, with studies finding that everything from allergies
to chronic fatigue may be linked to something we all have plenty of "drinking
water." Dryness included.
Drinking
plenty of water "not soda, juice or other beverages" can help
ease the discomfort of dry eyes and skin. Experts say that we need up
to eight glasses a day of water, and if other factors exist, like living
in a hot, dry environment, taking antihistamines, exercising or drinking
alcohol, our need for water increases. For people with skin conditions,
experts recommend up to two quarts of water every day.
In some cases,
however, water also can actually cause dry eyes and skin. Chlorine is
added to most drinking water supplies to kill bacteria and other potentially
harmful agents that seep into lakes, rivers, streams or ground water.
However, chlorine, and other chemicals in your water, the very chemical
there to help in one area, could be causing problems for you every time
you shower or relax in a hot bath.
Anyone who
has ever gotten green hair or burning eyes from a swimming pool knows
the effects chlorine can have on our bodies. The amounts of chlorine in
drinking water are much lower, but it can still have the same, although
milder effects, when we shower with it, including dry eyes and skin.
Showering
with hard water, water that contains higher levels of calcium magnesium
and other minerals that naturally exist in water, can contribute to dry
eyes and skin. These elements often will react with soap and shampoo to
leave a dry residue on your skin and scalp. This can make the skin itchy,
and leave people uncomfortable all day.
Some people
suffer from very painful or uncomfortable skin conditions such as eczema.
Removing the chemicals from the water they use to bathe and shower can
help cut down on their symptoms. Sometimes the chlorine and minerals in
water can be even more irritating to people who have diseases of the skin.
Equipping
your home with a reverse osmosis filter can remove the chlorine from your
water before it ever touches your skin. It eliminates the minerals that
naturally exist in water. Removing these elements from your water can
help tremendously to cut down on the discomfort of dry eyes and skin.
