RO filters a threat to public health?

The reverse-osmosis water purifier at home seems to be a benign invention, allowing people to drink clean, healthy water. But now scientists are warning that rampant use of the RO technology could pose a serious threat to public health. Kent RO Service Centre number call @ 0124-2314666, 7835800066.

A champion amongst the most unmistakable water refining advancements in India, the RO system is beneficial with respect to filtering through deadly substances like arsenic and fluoride, especially in districts where groundwater is strongly contaminated.

Simultaneously, though, RO systems, at both household and industrial levels plough back concentrated amounts of these substances back into the aquifers.

Experts suggest that regulations are needed to stop the unchecked use of RO, or at least the disposal of the stuff left behind after filtering.

The arsenic and fluoride-laden waste water generated by RO systems could have “adverse consequences” for human and animal health after it is dumped back into the groundwater aquifers, he told IANS.

This could affect the population in the surrounding area which is dependent on this water source. for installation or servicing purpose, contact  kent ro helpline number for quick and apt resolution of your query and complaints.

“The waste water contains high amount of total dissolved salts like sulphates, calcium, bicarbonates and organic matter and higher concentration of arsenic and fluoride in areas where originally these elements were reported in ground water.

The research shows that bottled water firms of all sizes and classes, ranging from major multinationals to the vast majority of India’s 2,700 small proprietory firms, use RO-based water purification technologies in their manufacturing plants.

The USP of RO-based system is that it can produce higher amount of filtered water with less supervision in comparison to methods like ion-exchange, explained Sharma.

However, there is a drawback. During industrial use, waste water amounts to between 30 and 40 percent of the total water used. At the household level too there is a huge wastage.
