RO water which doesn’t contain enough minerals, when consumed, leaches minerals from the body. This means that the minerals being consumed in food and vitamins are being urinated away. Less minerals consumed plus more minerals being excreted causes serious negative side effects and big health problems.

What are the disadvantages of reverse osmosis?

One of the major disadvantages of RO systems for the home is that they remove most of the minerals from the water leaving it with an acidic pH. Also, during the purification process, up to 20 gal of water is flushed down the drain for every gallon of filtered water produced.

Is reverse osmosis water good or bad?

The water obtained through RO is supposed to be dead water (i.e., neutral water) as it removes all minerals – good as well as bad. As a result, it generates water that is neither harmful nor helpful.
