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.

ORGANIC FOOD AND DRINKING WATER
When we think of water, we think of a natural resource. But, just
like additives to the foods we eat every day, water has become something
not as nature intended it. So, when you think or the organic food craze,
you cannot help but associate pure water with it.
A Shop Natural newsletter stated the connection between organic
food and purer drinking water by saying, “Organic farming, which eschews
the use of chemicals to boost production, keeps soil healthy. Healthy
soil has more nutrients and produces healthier, nutrient-rich crops. In
addition, by not dumping chemicals, including pesticides and nitrates,
into the ground, organic farming helps keep our water cleaner. Water tables
in agriculture communities have been found to have higher concentrations
of nitrates and harmful chemicals than non-farming communities. As these
chemicals get into our drinking water, they get into our blood streams.”
The article goes on to say that the more we avoid this type of
farming, the more pure our drinking supply gets. Makes sense. Furthermore,
the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement stated six
benefits of organic farming. On the list is pollution abatement, stating
that the rate of pollutants in the air, ground and water are reduced through
organic farming. This could conclude that the more of a demand for organic
foods, the more organic farming will be done which could lead to safer
drinking water overall. But, until then, we must revert to our water
filter systems and bottled water. But to those on an organic diet,
drinking filtered water is not only for health reasons, but perhaps a
poetic statement of being pure all around.
