If you are concerned with the topic of healthy drinking water, you will inevitably not be able to avoid an osmosis system. Reverse osmosis is one of the best technologies in the field of drinking water treatment.
Reverse osmosis systems are installed elegantly behind the kitchen base cabinet. In combination with a 3-way tap, you can enjoy freshly filtered and pure water straight from your kitchen tap. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Basically, however, as with other household appliances, the material properties and processing play an important role. The purchase price for drinking water systems, therefore, depends on the equipment and the materials used.
Depending on the model and design, your osmosis system requires different filters. Most water treatment devices work with three or five filter stages. Regular water filter cartridge changes are essential so that you can enjoy pure water with your reverse osmosis system for as long as possible.
The osmosis filters are changed every 6 – 12 months and membranes every 24 months (depending on the quality of the tap water and the environment).
In addition to the price of the osmosis system and water filter, the costs of operating the system must also be taken into account. These include the costs for the rinsing water, the treated osmosis water for drinking, and the wastewater. Is the investment really worth it?
All in all, investing in an osmosis system is not only worthwhile for your health but also financially. Osmosis systems have a very good price-performance ratio. Extrapolated in the long term, you save many times over in costs with an osmosis system for your home.
Now exchange your drinking water from the supermarket for filtered drinking water from your osmosis system. On top of that, you can make your own filtered water and save yourself having to carry the crates.
