Reverse Osmosis - required for GTA?
So I've been reading up on water filtration systems and debating which one to get, a lot of companies are obviously skewed to sell their products so there will be some bias there. However, reading up further and to decide which system to get - RO vs Non-RO, it's still unclear to me.
The main difference I found between the two is that RO gets rid of Flouride where as the others do not (there are some sketchy claims for the ones who do which are non-RO). Now if Flouride is good or not, then there is this was published from Harward - https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/magazine/m ... ing-water/.
It was responded by many letters (mostly opposing) while the only letter to support it was from UFT - https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/lette ... ater-safe/
The thing with RO is that while it does provide superior filtration - it gets rid of the good minerals as well. It also wastes water, even the new RO systems still waste water, that's just how it works. The non-RO systems get rid of Chlorine, Lead and other common ones found in most water supplies.
Just wondering what the water experts of RFD have to say, especially for us who like in the GTA and not on some remote rural farm with a well water.
