is reverse osmosis water better for people and pets than a life source water filtration system.?

Answer 1

From How Stuff Works:

"Reverse osmosis (RO) is used to reduce dissolved solids from feed waters with salinities up to 45,000 ppm TDS (total dissolved solids). Municipalities and industrial facilities are able to use RO permeate as a consistently pure drinking water supply and to transform drinking water to high purity water for industrial use at microelectronics, food and beverage, power, and pharmaceutical facilities. The technology is also very effective at removing bacteria, pyrogens, and organic contaminants."

So, I would think that it would be pretty good for you -- on the other hand, every brand of it that I have tried -- has given me digestive problems!! Go figure. I use just regular spring water or a filtered water from Brita or some such, myself.

Answer 2

Reverse osmosis systems just add more steps to the process to further purify the water (and not necessarily from harmful intrustions either; I'm sure it would remove more beneficial minerals from the water as well).

IMHO, reverse osmosis water tastes better.

Answer 3

If I understand you question, I believe they would both produce drinkable water. Reverse Osmosis produces drinkable water and I am assuming your term "Life Source" is the natural filtration found when water runs through soil and that of course produces drinkable water. So I would answer your question and say that both are equally beneficial for man and beast.

Answer 4

How long after installation, did you start drawing water out of the spigot? ?The R.O. system needs about 12-24 hours to process the first tank of water. You will be able to get some immediately, although it will only be a trickle, as the holding tank, won't have any processed water to draw from. I hope this helps!
