Myths About Reverse Osmosis

Probably, myths about reverse osmosis have existed for as long as the system has been available for sale.
There are many types of home water filters, but today the most popular of them is the reverse osmosis system – also known simply as osmosis. These systems differ from one another, but today we’ll focus on the myths you may come across online when searching for information about reverse osmosis.

MYTH #1: Reverse osmosis flushes minerals out of the body

Many people claim that water after osmosis is “dead.” Theoretically, this sounds logical: the product of a reverse osmosis system is partially demineralized water. Such water naturally attracts mineral salts to re-mineralize itself. But here’s the catch – the main role of water in our body is to cleanse – to remove toxins and waste products. And indeed, demineralized water flushes out minerals, but not the ones your cells need to live. It collects the “used” ones that the body has already discarded. Our body fluids, like blood and lymph, then transport them further – to the lungs and kidneys.

So, this water is simply doing its job – and it’s doing it better than other types of water. Maybe water from other filters is jealous? There’s even a theory that reverse osmosis water was the one that dissolved this first myth.

MYTH #2: Water from reverse osmosis lacks minerals the body needs

The reverse osmosis membrane removes viruses, bacteria, and heavy metals from water. But according to chemical laws – it also removes mineral salts. That’s true. But is it really that bad?
If our body had to get all the necessary minerals only from water, we wouldn’t stay healthy for long. For example, the daily calcium requirement would mean drinking around 500 glasses of water. Impressive, right? That’s why the body primarily gets its minerals from food.

Modern reverse osmosis systems have long overcome these myths. Advanced solutions, like Bregus systems, provide high-quality water – with a proper pH level, minerals, and balanced redox potential. That’s something older-generation systems couldn’t achieve.

Bregus reverse osmosis systems not only thoroughly purify water but also restore its biological balance.
So don’t trust flashy ads, don’t drink straight from the tap – choose clean, healthy water and a balanced diet together with Bregus filters!
