What are the benefits of filtering water with reverse osmosis?

Reverse osmosis is a water filtration process that removes or reduces impurities and contaminants from water by forcing it through a semi-permeable membrane. This process provides several health benefits, including:

Removal of Harmful Contaminants

Reverse osmosis removes or reduces contaminants such as lead, arsenic, fluoride, chlorine, and other harmful chemicals from water. Consuming water that contains these contaminants can lead to several health issues, including cancer, neurological disorders, and developmental problems.

Improved Taste and Odor

Reverse osmosis also removes unpleasant tastes and odors from water, making it more enjoyable to drink.

Better Hydration

Drinking clean, filtered water can improve hydration levels, which can lead to better overall health and well-being.

Watermill Express uses reverse osmosis filters, among other filtration and treatment processes, to effectively treat our water and ice.
