A Brief Discussion On RO Technology: One Of The Leading Technologies To Combat Water Contamination

Water has become an integral part of our lives due to its unquestionable importance. Water helps to keep our bodies hydrated; water helps to carry on several biological reactions within body cells. Water even helps to flush out all the toxic material from our bodies. So, it implies the crucial aspect of water n our lives. That's why we keep telling that 'water is life'. Indeed, we cannot sustain our lives without water. But the water itself can be life-threatening if consumed non-potable or in impurified form.

Contaminants present in water

Water contains so many contaminants, including nitrogen, bleach, salts, pesticides, metals, toxins produced by bacteria, and human or animal drugs. The contaminants sometimes occur naturally in the water and sometimes come into the water because of the humanmade pollution. So, the impure water can be fatal for any healthy individuals and can even lead to death. That's why making water potable and safe for use is mandatory to sustain a healthy lifestyle. You will find water purifiers' mounted on the wall in every individuals' homes that are little health conscious.

Technologies used in water purifier: RO TECHNOLOGY

RO Technology stands for reverse osmosis technology. This technology is widely used nowadays in all the water purifiers at home. A semi-permeable membrane with delicate pores is used in this technology that allows passing the water through it and simultaneously helps to separate all the toxic materials, including impurities and microbes. This is generally of two types. The RO UF technology uses a membrane consisting of delicate pores. Here the procedure is almost the same. The water is passed through the fragile pores of the membrane, and these pores help to trap all the toxic material. Here the used membrane has bigger pores than that of RO technology. The ancient filtration method is used in this technology with modern improvisations to sustain the maximum benefit. And the other one is RO UV purification which has been seen to be way more effective than any other technology available in the market. This method is capable of destroying almost 99.99% of germs and microbes present in the water. The water purifier consists of a lamp that emits UV rays. This UV rays help in destroying all the toxic material present so effectively.

The ancient method of purifying water in outstations

 While travelling, people used to find issues regarding the drinking water because the maximum of the remote places fails to supply drinkable water for the tourists. There was an ancient practice of adding chlorine in the water to make it safe for drinking. But later on, it was scientifically proved that the chlorine leaves a distressful impact on our health. So, the practice of adding chlorine in water has been abolished over some time.

Nowadays, reverse osmosis water is commercially available in almost every place. The tourists are encouraged to buy them in outstations to be safe and fit. If the travellers do not consume the safe and potable reverse osmosis drinking water, the tourists even can suffer from travellers' diarrhoea, which is generally seen to be happened due to the consumption of contaminated water.

Many companies supply the commercially available reverse osmosis bottled water. But you should only rely on the legal and the registered ones. Some name of the companies who provide ro bottled water includes Absopure, Amway Perfect Water, Aquafina etc. Here is a small discussion over ro bottled water to make you understand the whole matter easily.

Bottled water treated by RO technology

The bottled water which is commercially available for safe drinking is generally treated with the RO or reverse osmosis technology. The plastic that is used to make the bottle is not for long term use. So, it should be crushed as soon as the water is finished. Because plastic bottles can create several health issues.

Benefits of commercially available bottled water

1.                  The technology that is used to treat the water named as RO technology can separate all the life-threatening toxic material present in water. They are-

·         Lead

·         Pesticides

·         Heavy metals

·         Fluorides

·         Nitrates and sulphates

·         Detergents and other organic components

2.                  The RO treated water has an advantage of great taste. More precisely, the RO treated water is generally capable of maintaining a balanced pH, which makes a great deal in carrying the taste.

3.                  The RO technology is capable of treating hard water and makes it soft that is drinkable.

4.                  It has no side effects.

The disadvantages

The only disadvantage that the technology has is the RO treated water lacks off minerals. It tends to leach away all the solid materials, including beneficial minerals, including calcium and magnesium. Both of the minerals play crucial roles in our biological system. So, if RO treated water is consumed, the intake of beneficial minerals should be increased in the diet.
