How Does a Home Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier Work?
Home reverse osmosis is a highly efficient water purification process based on reverse osmosis technology. In simple terms, tap water enters the reverse osmosis machine and passes through an advanced filtration system. This system consists of multiple filtration stages designed to remove a wide range of contaminants and unwanted particles. The key to reverse osmosis is its semi-permeable membrane, which allows water to pass through while retaining most toxic elements.
What Toxic Elements Present in Tap or Bottled Water Can a Home Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier Eliminate?
Home reverse osmosis is known for its ability to eliminate a variety of toxic elements and contaminants present in drinking water. Some of the contaminants it can remove include:
- Heavy Metals: Reverse osmosis can effectively remove heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, which are harmful to human health.
- Organic Chemicals: Organic chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and solvents can be eliminated through reverse osmosis.
- Microbial Contaminants: Bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms can be retained by the reverse osmosis membrane.
- Sediments and Particles: The reverse osmosis machine is also effective in removing sediments, sand, and suspended particles in water.
- Unwanted Minerals: Minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances, are removed in the process.
How to Purify Water to Remove Toxins with Reverse Osmosis?
The water purification process using our reverse osmosis is relatively straightforward. You should remove the external tank and fill only the wide compartment labeled “Tap Water” with tap or bottled water. Tap water flows through a pre-filter that traps large particles and sediments. Then, the water passes through the reverse osmosis semi-permeable membrane, where dissolved contaminants are retained, while purified water flows to the tap.
Reverse osmosis uses water pressure to force it through the membrane, leaving contaminants behind. The purified water is stored in a tank, ready for consumption. This process ensures that the water reaching your glass is free from most toxic elements and contaminants.
Harmful Elements in Drinking Water
Drinking water can contain various toxic elements that are harmful to human health. Some of these elements include:
- Lead: It can come from old pipes and poses a significant health risk, especially to children.
- Mercury: It can be found in some water sources due to industrial contamination.
- Arsenic: A natural contaminant present in some groundwater sources.
- Chlorine and Byproducts: Used in water treatment, they can have long-term health effects.
- Bacteria and Viruses: Biological contaminants that can cause waterborne illnesses.

El servicio de venta fue muy atento en el comienzo (problema con la descripción de funcionamiento).No la puedo comparar con otras, pero la calidad del agua me parece excelente, el tamaño no es muy voluminoso, la única pega por eso no le doy 5 que si consumes agua te hartas de quitar y poner el depósito a no ser que emples la imaginación y saques una manguera a un desagüe mayor como hice yo.

Imprescindible remineralizar con las gotas externas, pero el resto es maravilloso. La máquina es preciosa. Lo del agua caliente al instante está super bien en invierno. No ocupa mucho espacio, y no requiere instalación, es decir, no implica tener que sacar todo lo que tengo el mueble de debajo el grifo.
Puedes sacar la parte de abajo donde se dipositan las gotitas de agua para poder llenar una botella, cosa que es genial.
El precio está muy bien para los 4 filtrados del agua del grifo y así podemos ahorrarnos plásticos.
Y el agua restante la puedes utilizar para limpiar el suelo, para tirar la cadena del baño… para lo que quieras!! así no desperdicias tanto agua potable 🙂

Hace año y medio que compramos el filtro y funciona muy bien, tanto en el filtrado como en las opciones de agua caliente.
La atención de la empresa en todo momento ha sido sobresaliente: al empezar a usar el filtro tuvimos algunos problemas derivados de errores nuestros, nos atendieron perfectamente y solucionaron estos problemas, aun sin ser por su causa.
Así que nuestra valoración es de 5 de 5 y…¡porque no podemos dar 6 de 5¡

El equipo está bien pero su manual e información del equipo es limitada, no explica a que se refiere los tds y porque varia, tampoco se si se puede o no variar la temperatura del agua..
