Is reverse osmosis still the gold standard for water filtration? In this episode of The Toxic Truth About Water, Drs. Glenn and Ina expose the pros and cons of RO systems—how they excel at removing contaminants but also strip essential minerals, waste gallons of water, and demand high maintenance. Tune in for a balanced look at why RO gained its stellar reputation, why it might no longer live up to the hype, and what to consider if you already have one installed.

What You’ll Learn

1. RO Basics:
   • How the semi-permeable membrane removes nearly all contaminants—and why that includes beneficial minerals.
2. Benefits & Drawbacks:
   • The upside of ultra-pure water vs. potential health concerns from mineral deficiency and wasted water.
3. Whole House Challenges:
   • Why large-scale RO systems are costly, complicated, and not always practical.
4. Maintenance Must-Knows:
   • Frequent filter changes and sanitization are essential to avoid biofouling and preserve water quality.

Key Takeaways

1. Removes “Too Much?” RO water is incredibly pure but can leave your body craving essential minerals.
2. Waste & Upkeep: Expect gallons of wastewater per gallon of filtered water, plus ongoing filter replacements and tank sanitization.
3. Whole House Woes: Whole-house RO systems require big budgets and complex setups—often impractical for most homes.
4. Better Options Ahead: Keep listening—next episodes (and bonus content) will unveil more modern solutions that balance purity and health.
