Did
you know?
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.

Taking
Showers Can Age and Damage Your Skin!
Are you starting to see the development of early wrinkles on your face
and neck? You take good care of yourself, applying lotions and sunblock,
eating sensibly, and exercising
on a regular basis and yet it doesn't seem to be enough. While it may
sound crazy, your premature aging appearance may actually be caused by
the very activity that you consider an important beauty regimen - taking
a hot shower!
In
today's society, everyone showers and bathes in heavily chlorinated water
on a regular basis. Chlorine is a useful chemical that is used to treat
our tap water and make it safe for drinking. Unfortunately it is also
a toxic and abrasive chemical substance that is extremely irritating on
human skin and lungs. When you take a shower, the heat opens up your pores
and your skin absorbs large amounts of chlorine from both the water and
the steam. Chlorine has an oxidizing affect on human skin because it splits
hydrogen from water, causing the release of nascent oxygen and hydrogen
chloride. These gas compounds have been scientifically proven to cause
tissue damage to our bodies at the molecular level.
Highly
corrosive to skin, chlorine will quickly attack your epidermis removing
all of its protective oils and proteins and leaving your skin to dry and
crack. Repeated daily and overtime, your skin will
weaken under the stress caused by chlorine exposure, and the prolonged
damage that it inflicts on your skin at the cellular level will eventually
lead to the development of premature wrinkles. Even if you apply
lotion or oils immediately after your shower it may still be too late
to reverse the damage that had been done during the shower.
Famous
celebrities and models have been using chlorine-free water for years and
it's one of the best kept beauty secrets in the industry. Take
a tip from them - chlorinated water should be removed from your daily
cleansing rituals if you want to have young, supple and healthy skin.
