Which Filtration System For The Office?

Reverse Osmosis or Microfiltration? 

People often ask us about which water system they should choose for their office - reverse osmosis or carbon microfiltration.  Our response is always the same - if you talk to 10 health professionals, 5  will tell  you that reverse osmosis is the best for you and 5 will tell you that microfiltration is the answer.  Reverse Osmosis takes virtually everything out of the water, including the minerals.  It is as close as possible to "pure" water - just plain H2O.  Microfiltration removes impurities, but leaves the minerals in your water and is the chosen method of filtration for bottled water companies who bottle spring and mineral water. 

Our experience with both systems have led us to conclude that it is a personal decision and we cannot say one is better than the other.  We have  customers who were using reverse osmosis water tell us that the lack of minerals in the water affected their energy levels and that their doctors told them to stop drinking reverse osmosis water.  Others have told us that their doctors or trainers recommended reverse osmosis for health reasons.  We obviously are not doctors, but we feel either is good for you and most importantly that hydrating with purified water is key to your health, whatever water you decide to drink.  Below is a table comparing the two.  Keep in mind that municipalities remove some of the contaminants mentioned, so they don't necessarily need to be removed by a filtration system.
