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.

Water
And Health
Can
water help me live longer?
It's hard
to imagine, but the truth is that human beings are living longer in the
21st century. In this modern age, life expectancy has increased by just
over 30 years. There are lots of secondary reasons just why this is, but
according to Dr. Jeffrey Griffiths of Tuft University School of Medicine,
much of the credit for longer life spans can be attributed to clean water.
Just what health effects are caused by clean drinking water?
Have a quick
look at the list below to see:
1. Reduces
daytime fatigue
2. Improves
memory
3. Nourishes
skin
4. Essential
for digestion, nutrient absorption and chemical reactions
5. Helps
remove toxins from your body
6. Aids
circulation
7. Regulates
your body's cooling system
8. May prevent
kidney stones and urinary tract infections
9. Improves
muscle tone
10. Helps
lubricate joints
So the answer
is yes, drinking clean water can help you live longer. On a very basic
level, your body cannot store up its own supply of water. It needs fresh
intake of valuable water to hydrate cells and remove toxins through your
liver and later kidneys. Without this vital replenishing of water, your
body dehydrates, slows down and your blood literally 'thickens' as your
body releases histamines in an effort to store water up in cells. This
has a negative health affect as you are likely to experience headaches
and lethargy among other generally negative health effects.
