Minerals in the water are not about nutrition. It's about osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure is a real thing. I would be fine with him saying that there is enough particulate matter left in the water so there is no concerned but that's not what he said. He was talking about pure water. People shouldn't drink distilled water because of the effect of osmotic pressure on cells.
There is literally no minerals in tap water to begin with and if so its 0.1mg if that. In australia they reported recently that there is heaps of cancer causing substances in our water and a lot of water around the world. Would you rather have cancer causing micro plastics or RO water you decide.
@@TankMAIN877 you clearly did not understand what I was saying. The point is that remineralization is not about nutrition, it's about osmotic pressure. Chemistry 101. I 100% agree that reverse osmotic filtering is the way to go. Try drinking distilled water or RO water without remineralization. That dry sensation are cells in you throat popping as they try to normalize the relative concentrations. 0.1 mg of salts in the your glass of water makes all the difference.
Best video I found so far related to RO. Thank you for the knowledge and common sense.
Amazing interview. This is exactly what I was looking for!
Great interview! Really eye-opening!
This is the best educational video after my researching about RO water purifier system. You guys help me easily decide what system I should buy for my new home. Thank you so much for you good work 🙏🏻👍🏻
Fantastic video worth watching made easier to understand RO drinking water. Thank you.

Thanks!
this is what we have remineralization alkaline cartridges for
The Nelsen quick change Twist & Loc reverse osmosis (RO) system you connected me with has been operating for a few months now and seems to be working well. I installed myself, what I am inclined to note here is that I added an air space between the RO rinse water and drain. Also I do add about a dash of Himalayan pink salt to each gallon of RO water for remineralization. After listening to your post here, maybe I can even do away with that. ( Much easier than carrying 5 gallon containers of water from the store every few days )
Hey Gabriel - I am glad to hear you love they system! It is a great tank based option. And the Himalayan salt is a great natural method for remineralization. Thank you for sharing and let me know if I can help out with anything else 🙌
A couple of comments...1) Forget Himalayan pink salt...even as a minimal source of trace elements. It’s proven to be both inadequate and nconsistent (as is all mined salt source). ONLY ocean-derived minerals & trace elements provide the full Periodic Table of the Elements (not including gases, of course). The absolute best is QUINTON Hypertonic liquid in 10 ml sachets or glass ampoules and liter sizes as well (very economical). The second best is well-known Celtic Sea Salt which is not as bioavailable as QUINTON (and lacking organic micronutrients) but it still provides most of the Periodic Table of the Elements.
Thanks for the new update and information on remineralization. @@robertslovak1013
Help: In searching on the lab results for AquaTru I could not find testing and removal for Haloacetic acids (HAA5) Haloacetic acids (HAA9) or cyanide, these are all found in high amounts in my city tap water. I did find all other contaminants specific to my tap water. Thanks for a really good discussion. I understand you cannot cover every detail but would appreciate a response.
look at the size of these molecules compared to the membrane holes in reverse osmosis and you will have your answer.
Reverse Osmosis is generally known to remove HAA5 whether or not they are specifically marketed or certified as such, though it's not 100% effective. The EPA is working on a draft to classify and test RO units and HAA5 removal will likely be part of that spec once finalized. After that, we'll be able to refer to the EPA labeling for units for sale.

Heres a shorter video
What system is best to remove fluoride?
pure water extracts minerals from your body. That's the problem.
how does GrowMax RO systems work?
This guy's a straight shooter. Very refreshing (pun intended).
Apparently there are preservative chemicals on reverse osmosis membrains that can cause cancer and infertility! I've read that you really need to flush them. But does that really help.
Can you tell us something about vitalized drinking water? Water must also have certain electrical charges.
If you are referring to hexagonal or structured water, we haven't seen any evidence that such a structure exists. There are no tests for the claims made by vitalizer companies for structure. On the other hand, adding oxygen, hydrogen, changing pH (ionized) are all easily tested and can be confirmed.
Water drop k19 is good?? If not which one is good? Counter top only pls? Suggestion in low budget
Like they are going to tell you with 100s of comments just search reviews on youtube.
Could you please respond to the person who posted the comment I"m posting below? Or respond to this comment please. Thank you!

Quinton trace minerals are insanely expensive
Hi! Do you recommend an RO system that has a mineralize step? Or better to add the minerals externally?
If you are concerned about remineralization, drops will be the most effective. In-line remineralization won't be able to add a significant amount of minerals back to the water as it needs long contact time but it's usually enough to make it taste better. In our informal testing we typically only see 10-50ppm of remineralization. For reference, bottled mineral water can contain up to 2,000ppm.
@@Freshnss Dosn't RO water pull minerals out of the body though ? He never mentioned anything about that. Because the water our of RO system is acidic yes ?
I loved this interview. So much good information. I do have two questions. I'm hearing that RO and other water systems can produce water that is acidic and that is not good for your stomach, intestines, and kidneys. Is that true and is it good to get an RO system that balances the pH levels to a more alkaline 7.5 area? Second... I have a small undersink area so I need a tankless system. The Waterdrop 800 is out of my price range.... I'm considering the Waterdrop G3P600, the Frizzlife PD600-TAM3, and the Brio Prism 600GPD or the Brio Aquus 600 GPD.... do you have any preference? or at least any I should put higher or lower on my list? Thank you.
Balancing your water's pH isn't really necessary though there is some evidence that more alkaline water has benefits. You don't balance the pH of spaghetti sauce or lemonade, right?
Of the three models you listed, they're all good choices. I lean towards the WaterDrop because it has a separate RO filter and you don't have to replace everything at once like with the other two.
@@Freshnss- Thank you so much for your reply. I didn't think of it that way. You're right, I eat and drink acidic things all the time. I'm glad you are a thoughtful voice of reason on the topic of water to help navigate the plethora of information out there.
And thank you for sharing your leanings towards the WaterDrop. That's where I think my husband and I were heading. Your input from your professional point of view is definitely a help as we make our decision.
Thank you again for all your great information on this video and all you do.
Also keep in mind that pH is a logarithmic scale, meaning that each level is an order of magnitude separated from the next level in either direction. Your stomach has a pH around 2, which is orders of magnitude more acidic than RO water.
@Freshnss yes, I learned in Italy they add a bit of baking soda when cooking Spaghetti sauce.
is the waterdrop gp3 600 tankless RO system a good choice?
Tankless RO systems are great but they fill a niche for when you can't install something under the sink. They're much slower due to the lack of a holding tank.
What about Ph level?
So is it better to be drinking Distilled water over other waters like purified or spring water since distilled water is pure water?
No, distilled water wants minerals. It will strip them from your teeth and bones. The red cap tells of danger.
@@marcussmart3275 that is a total myth. Distilled water is fine to drink. RO water is basicly distilled water.
@@edwardwahnstrom6907 I have personally experienced tooth pain until I remineralized my teeth after drinking distilled for a week. That's why it has a red cap, to warn of danger.
For all those who are worried about getting rid of the good things in water! Think about the bad things that you're getting rid of 1st. It's not difficult to remineralise your water! Get an RO system people and your body and mind will thank you for it.🙂
you just look up how much of those minerals are nice to have per day an just find out what to eat to get them even without mineral filled water hehe
Wouldn't adding marine-sourced minerals reintroduce microplastics into your RO-filtered water? 💧🤔
Unfortunately microplastics are a big problem. Recent testing shows that most human populations have nano/microplastics in our bodies already. There isn't a good recommendation yet for microplastics, as even most filtration treatment options are made from plastic which can also leach particles.
Here’s what I know, I drank pure RO for several days once and I felt awful. Restless legs, fast heart beat, palpitations, trouble sleeping etc. Switched back to regular water and I was fine. RO definitely reduces electrolytes in the body.
Have you tried RO again or are you convinced its not good ?
@@TankMAIN877 I added a remineralization filter and have tried it again. No issues this time. I also supplement electrolytes everyday. Something I think everyone should do. That’s my experience if it helps at all.
I did not agree with your "waste water" frame of mind opinion until you mentioned using the rinse water for your pond, or garden or to mop. I believe most people feel rinse water would be wasted if it were to go straight down the drain... Great video!
So what RO system would you consider to be a well designed system to buy?
I live in town (city water living in the USA) what do you recommend for an under the sink drinking water RO system?
We did a review of several systems here: freshnss.com/best-reverse-osmosis-drinking-water-system-reviews/
would distilled water not be better than RO since it removes everything?
It depends on what you're trying to filter. Both distilled water and RO are not 100% complete when it comes to removal. RO is less energy intensive but produces wastewater. Distillation can't remove VOCs with lower boiling points as the vapors re-condense and remain in the water. Both are very effective if you are doing broad filtration with unknown water.
@@Freshnss distillation removes everything except voc's and you can remove them with post carbon filtration
Nobody tells you about the toxic solution they put in the RO system to preserve it while shipping. Most of them contain Methylene chloride.
OMG really ?
This is a really good discussion, however the same standards that you are using to judge water filters, applies to the RO systems. How do we know the RO filters are what they are claiming to be. I could use a good filter, which I already have and simply change out the filters more often. With RO I am simply taking the word of the seller that these are indeed good filters and could also be misleading. Frankly the sites that I have looked at shopping for RO system very rarely give actual contaminants the system removes. This is the first time I have heard anyone say RO systems remove virtually all contaminants. Hype or reality?
There are like 3-4 companies that produce the actual membranes. Do not get some proprietary RO system, but a standard housing with 1812 membrane, replace membranes once a year with DOW Filmtec membranes, 1812-75 is pretty standard. 1812 is the housing and 75 is the GPD of the membrane. Get a permeate pump for best efficiency and you are golden.
wow, that is some awesome infor@@ulankussaiyn7348
so me aquasauna seems to have the most reputable certifications I could find, plus its on sale right now for like 60% off. NSF and ansi certification seems to be the best standard of proof that the filter does what it claims. Express water filter seems to have the certifications approved by a 3rd party against nsf/ansi standards but doesnt seem to actually say if is recognized by nsf/ansi qualifications. Express waters third party qualifier seems fairly legit like you can call them and investiagte them if you feel inclined and it seems they will reply etc etc, some form of seemingly decent tracibility. Aquasauna though is tested by a 3rd party (WQA water quality association, same one the guy in this video says he posesses), but it seems their qualification is actually recognized as met by nsf/ansi and marked in their book, vs tested against as express water seems to say. NSF/ansi has a log online you can view to see every ro filter company that has passed soe of their various testing qualifications. There were a few water brands, some meets more standards then others. Aquasauna was the main one i was looking at. I should go look more closely at some of the other companies thea nsf/ansi has in its log as meeting there quality standards. At least this seems to be the pinacle of choosing ro filters that i have found yet.
@@policestate4874how do you like aquasauna? I’m looking into getting a water filter for my sink. I just need for drinking water and the enter house.
does the interviewer have a channel. i need to sub
Great details thanks. Surely distilled water is the best, removing all contaminants? Yes it takes power I acknowledge that and it takes a long time to get especially if you have a family.
It comes down to what will be easy to do. I don't think you can get a distilled system which fits under a sink. If you don't mind it sitting on your countertop consuming power then yes .... oh you have to remineralise the water if you continue to drink distilled water for a long time.
@@Daniel_Adam Thanks. No correct on that :). As I read some years ago when asking if distilled was okay, the general view was we get our vitamins & minerals from our food, and the amount in water is no where near the RDA.
I just got the K19 yesterday. Pretty pleased with its functions but TDS doesn't show after set up which is disappointing. ITS very quiet and I want to take it on holiday now lol.
@@paulpells1864 Don't neglect the effect of osmosis inside the body after consumption of RO water. For a visual demonstration, see 2:50 of czcams.com/video/BDDqY7IZhxQ/video.html
For Myth-1, just have 1 or 2 tbsp of “Dr Berg’s Electrolyte powder” with water…that’ll take care of whole day’s need 😃
Only if you're willing to funnel your money to the Church of Scienceless-tology 😉
Use Redmond lyte for electrolytes. They are a family owned in Utah
Be wary of anything that Dr Berg says/offers. Dr Berg’s Electrolyte powder is more than twice as expensive as drops from other companies, plus Dr. Berg's has flavoring and sweetners (yuck).
What is he saying you can use to remineralize? I can’t understand the word he’s saying.
QUINTON Marine Plasma
"less than 1% of the total water used ... is consumed"
You haven't seen my wife's plant obsession. How would you factor irrigation before sunrise? I'm thinking 15% consumed and the rest evaporated or drained.
I think bro has been mewing
Guy took a long time to put a sentence. Playing this back a 1.5x is a must
To fill the RO for a quarter of a 5 gallon you waste 6 gallon 5 gallon of water
RO does generate waste water as part of the permeate filtering process. Most systems will tell you the filtered to waste ratio. However we aren't aware of any systems that produce 6 or 5 gallons of waste for a "quarter of a 5 gallon".
@Freshnss you can buy distilled water and put minerals back in. For less than 1.00 a gallon
And you have to drive to the store to get it. Carry your water. It’s also probably in plastic jugs so you’re getting micro plastics in your water. My home ro under the sink system with a tank cost a couple hundred dollars. It’s worth it for me.
@@stevenglockner everything you buy today has chemicals in it. You would be surprised how many materials have plastic in them.
@@stevenglockner I have to go to the store to get groceries anyway. Or somebody has to drive to the store and then to my house to deliver the groceries. I carry the water in glass containers that I have been using for several years. They won't be wearing out in my lifetime. But I do have to carry the water from my car to my kitchen. It's worth it to me because I never have to worry about the RO system breaking down, needing maintenance, or replacing filters/membrane.
If this guy speaks any slower I'm gonna have a stroke.
So water is just dead liquid to this guy...
The guy is right.
@@NuMwhan-bg4fq ya may wanna look into that ..
If you remove bacteria, viruses, micro plastics, chemicals, etc, of course you will remove larger particle sizes. That’s the trade-off. And he’s saying the minerals in the water are not great enough to make a difference in your health. You CAN STILL ADD these minerals and nutrients, after you filter the water, should you choose, you can also get minerals from other sources
