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.

Serious
about water now? Here's how to start a drinking water regimen.
Before we
get to a couple simple tips to help you start a program, or drinking water
regimen, let's take a quick look some good reasons to stick with your
new program...instead of filling up on pop or other sugary drinks... Water
is also an important "healing tool" for people with a history of kidney
stones. Since water dissolves calcium in the urine, downing at least 8
glasses daily reduces the risk of stone formation.
Drinking
water is also valuable in preventing urinary tract infections in both
men and for women, flushing impurities out of the system. Even mild dehydration
makes you more susceptible to viruses. For individuals with an immune
system deficiency water helps to recover more quickly. When your body
is hydrated, drainage from allergies and colds doesn't stick and collect
in your throat and lungs, and your cough is more "productive". Even cold
sores that appear on the lips are minimized by drinking water because
those eruptions tend to favor dry areas.
The findings
of a six-year study of more than 20,000 healthy men and women aged 38-100
in the May 1, 2002 American Journal of Epidemiology found that women who
drank more than five glasses of water a day were 41% less likely to die
from a heart attack during the study period than those who drank less
than two glasses. The protective effect of water was even greater in men.
It's also important to remember that when the body is dehydrated, fat
cells get "rubbery" and cannot be easily metabolized. This means that
it's harder to lose when you don't drink your water.So how can
you start a drinking water regimen?
Here are
a few easy tips to help you reach your "water mark" every day: You are
naturally thirsty i.e. "dehydrated" in the morning . . . help your body
flush out the toxins it has been processing all night and take advantage
of this thirst to get a "leg up" on your daily water requirements by drinking
a glass of water first thing. If you have a cold drink warm water instead
of dehydrating coffee & tea. Don't wait until you're thirsty to have a
drink - you are already dehydrated if you feel thirsty.
Set a timer
to remind yourself to establish a habit of drinking water and keep a bottle
of water with you at all times. Compensate for diuretics . . . thieves
that steal water from your body. If you drink coffee, tea, or sodas with
caffeine, you'll need to drink a few extra glasses of water to make up
for the water that these diuretic beverages "leech" from your system.
