Reverse osmosis water
Patricia G.: We were convinced of reverse osmos water for years and have a lot of money for such a system output. We have now realized our mistake. It's actually logical! But can't you use the existing system as a pre-filter for a water ionizer so that you can ionize particularly pure water?
This is ultimately a question of economics. Filters for reverse osmosis systems are usually no cheaper than those for water ionizers. Of course, they also filter out more, namely not only the pollutants but also the valuable minerals, which would then have to be added again using additional filter cartridges. I have tested most of these post-mineralization cartridges. The result is not practical because these cartridges become unusable after a short time because the minerals dissolve in different quantities, so you get different results every time and you have to constantly readjust the ionizer. Just do the math. It's not worth it
You can also just add salt to the reverse osmosis water before ionization, then it can also be ionized. With the Enagic Leveluk SD 501®, for example, liquid brine (“Electrolysis enhancer”) is added. Similarly, with crystal salt, this is possible with water ionizers with a salt feed shaft.
Since this then tastes unpleasantly alkaline, in practice the process is only used to produce hygienic alkaline and acid active water. It would also not be approved as drinking water under the Drinking Water Ordinance. So this only makes sense for laboratories, not for households.
In principle, reverse osmosis water is no more a natural matter than alkaline activated water, as neither occurs naturally in this world. Both are functional water and were invented by engineers. There are alkaline, antioxidant and highly mineralized water separately, but nowhere in this intelligent combination than from a water ionizer. Reverse osmosis water, on the other hand, was invented for batteries and further developed for astronauts to turn their urine into drinking water again. This water does not even exist in parts in the natural world. Just ask any astronaut if he liked drinking this water made from his crew's urine!
When buying the reverse osmosis system, you are probably faced with the usual sales trick –> conductance You were fooled by the claim that the higher the conductivity, the more pollutants. The trick relies on confusing quantity with quality.
There are so many absurd arguments in the field of reverse osmosis that it is almost worthy of its own book. Even the arguments from mineral water and active water fans often seem strange: reverse osmosis water is acidic and therefore dangerous! This is pure nonsense! Reverse osmosis water itself is absolutely pH neutral. But since it contains no ions, it becomes acidic due to the acidic air gas carbon dioxide, because it contains no basic resistance and therefore acidifies in the same way as rain falling through the air.
In this reverse osmosis water, a negative lime-carbon dioxide balance is created at the expense of the lime, which could literally be pulled out of the bones of acidic water drinkers!
Reverse osmosis water works, like Dr. med. Walter Irlacher put it inimitably perfectly in our book “Trink Dich alkalisch 2011” (p. 24): “Demineralized water sucks vital minerals such as calcium and magnesium out of the cell like a sponge. By using alkaline active water, however, we can remove the acids from the body. And in doing so, we create a very strong cleansing and protective effect for the sick cell.”
In the West, especially in the USA, Canada and Australia, many have turned this lifestyle of mineral theft, supported by base robbers such as cola drinks, into a lucrative business and are still successfully promoting “astronaut drinking water”.
In countries where scientifically oriented water research has been carried out for decades, such as today's Russia, water ionizers can be bought in good supermarkets, and opinions about reverse osmosis water have been formed through animal rather than human experiments. You shouldn't drink it permanently! Two of the leading water researchers wrote there: (Prilutsky/ Bakhir, Electroactivated Water, Moscow, 1997): “Long-term drinking of deionized water, reverse osmosis water or melt water, very soft water, leads to disturbances in the adrenal cortex, resulting in heart disease, High blood pressure, the occurrence of joint pain, a tendency to arthritis and arthrosis. In cattle it leads to convulsive syndrome and in laboratory rats to cardiac arrhythmias.”
The alleged medical foundation of reverse osmosis is based on a French hydraulic engineer named Louis-Claude Vincent, who died in 1988, and who, based on his own statistics, claims to have determined a higher mortality risk in areas with hard water in France. However, this cannot be verified because these statistics are apparently no longer available. However, this would be interesting because all the statistics and studies that have been examined by a high-level WHO commission show the absolute opposite for the rest of the world. The name Vincent is not even quoted there and none of his supposedly important books quoted by the reverse osmosis sellers are available in normal bookstores even as antiquarian editions. The American doctor Dr. Norman Walker (1886 – 1985), who lived to be 100 years old despite drinking distilled water for decades. What is not disclosed is that he drank or mixed it throughout the day, alternating with fruit and vegetable juices. It is obvious that he successfully balanced the mineral content of the water.
Of course, you can also compensate for mineral deficiencies in the water by eating plenty of food, and weight gain is free. included. The website writes about use as a mixed drink www.whiskey.de:. “In keeping with the style, only Scottish still spring water is used. The quiet, 'poor' French people are also good to use. And if you don't have either on hand, just use distilled water. Warning: Never drink large amounts of pure, distilled water. The lack of ions in distilled water can seriously disrupt your body's mineral balance and even be life-threatening. For this reason, always add an appropriate amount of single malt whiskey to your distilled water. ;-)”
In Israel, due to the water shortage, by 2020, 72 percent of the municipal water supply will be provided by deionized water from seawater desalination and reverse osmosis plants. Since this would dramatically reduce the population's mineral supply, the local legislature has decreed that at least 50 mg/l of calcium carbonate, which is supplied from limestone, must be added to the water. (Source: Brenner, A. Mineral Balance of mineral quality standards for desalinated water: The Israeli experience; in Bhattacharya, P. et al., Metals and related substances in drinking water, London 2012, p. 114)
There is practically no significant difference compared to distilled water, at least when you think about drinking: Distillation, especially multiple distillation, produces pure water that you need for the laboratory in order to carry out controlled experiments. Under laboratory conditions it should also be gas-free and is then pH neutral. It then has the composition of 1 H3O+ and 1 OH- to 10 million water molecules, which comes from autoprotolysis.
Why exactly this ratio is is one of the still unanswered questions in water science. It could be that 10 million water molecules create an electric field that corresponds exactly to the decomposition voltage for 1 water molecule.
Reverse osmosis water ROW still contains other ions that can be determined with a TDS meter. But also non-ions and gases. In particular, it likes to absorb CO2 and therefore has a slightly acidic pH value. However, this plays no physiological role because it is not buffered.
