Should we buy a water purifier to choose a pure water purifier or a water purifier with minerals?

Water plays the role of a carrier in our body and maintains a normal metabolism. Many people have this question when buying a water purifier?
We are torn between buying a water purifier that retains minerals or a water purifier that removes all impurities?
With this query, Susan will explore it with you today.

Water purifier, namely RO reverse osmosis water purifier. Its filtration precision is 0.0001 micron, all the harmful heavy metals, impurities, red worms, inorganic matter in the water can be filtered out, is direct drinking water, TDS value within 50, is the closest to pure water purifier. You can drink directly, but also to solve the problem of limescale. Water purifier used in the RO membrane filtration aperture is 0.0001 microns, can filter out impurities in the water, bacteria, viruses, organics, heavy metals and other harmful substances, is now the most secure drinking water, effectively filtering out heavy metals, organics, bacteria, viruses, pesticide residues and residual chlorine, etc., to take care of the health of the family drinking water. Note: ultrafiltration, nanofiltration can not completely remove bacteria, viruses. Water purifier (reverse osmosis water purifier)

Water purifier with minerals, generally refers to ultrafiltration water purifier. Its filtration accuracy of 0.001-0.1 micron, can filter out bacteria and other suspended matter in the water, although retaining the minerals, but also retain viruses, heavy metals and calcium and magnesium ions. Can not drink directly, easy to produce limescale. The biggest selling point of the ultra-filtration machine is the so-called retention of minerals in the water, but the ultra-filtration water purifier is just a filter, for the harmful and beneficial substances are treated equally, if the good minerals are retained, it is inevitable that also retains the minerals that are harmful to the human body. So, ultra-filtration water purifier business like to publicize the retention of minerals, the actual they do not tell you, also retain certain harmful substances!

What other harmful substances may be in the water? Organic pollutants
The rapid development of industry and agriculture has made water pollution more and more serious. Organic pollutants in water not only contain general organic matter, but also some difficult to degrade organic matter.
Heavy metal pollution
The heavy metals we usually refer to are: mercury, cadmium, lead, chromium, and the quasi-metal arsenic and other heavy metals with significant toxicity. These heavy metals can not be decomposed in water, people drink the toxicity will be amplified, and other toxins in the water combined to generate greater harmful substances. Especially on the digestive system, urinary system cells, organs, skin, bones, nerve damage is extremely serious. These heavy metals usually due to improper chemical pollution discharge or life in the transportation of water pipe rupture led to dirt infestation and affect our life water source, thus affecting people's health.
Organic matter and heavy metals are difficult to remove by the current conventional treatment process in water treatment plants, and cannot be removed by boiling the water.

Water on the premise of human health is safe 70% of the human body is composed of water, the human body will be replaced every 18 days, people can not survive without water, but more than the nutrition in the water, drinking water safety is the premise.
Many people hear minerals, trace elements, take for granted that trace elements are very scarce, difficult to obtain, if there is no trace elements in the water, the body can not supplement the trace elements how to do? We need to know that trace elements usually refers to minerals less than 0.01% of the body weight, in the human body exists in a very small amount. So trace elements are not very scarce, just need less. This is a marketing scheme to create panic and increase the selling price of their products.

Pure water and mineral water differences, mainly reflected in two aspects: First, RO reverse osmosis filtered pure water, although clean, but due to the lack of natural beneficial minerals and trace elements, and not as good as mineral water so high quality and health; Secondly, in terms of taste, due to the richness of minerals, mineral water taste is also more sweet and refreshing. Therefore, mineral water purifier is not the so-called “IQ tax” products.

Secondly, the minerals or trace elements that our body needs, the vast majority of them are obtained from daily food, rather than through drinking water, drinking more milk, eating more vegetables and fruits is more important. Think about it, when your body is deficient in calcium, iron, the doctor will only tell you to drink more milk, eat more beans or beef, etc., rather than tell you to drink more water with scale, containing rusty water, because the water inside the calcium, iron are mostly inorganic state, belonging to the inorganic minerals, the human body can not be absorbed, the human body can only absorb the organic state of calcium, iron!
Drinking water can replenish minerals? First of all, the human body can only absorb the organic state of trace elements, and the inorganic state of trace elements can hardly be absorbed, such as calcium and magnesium inside the scale, rust inside the iron. In fact, most trace elements can only come from food. Nowadays, people's living standard has been greatly improved than before, the dietary structure has also been greatly improved, chicken, duck, fish, meat appear in the daily dishes, the year-round supply of fruits is sufficient, and the above food is rich in minerals and trace elements, they are beneficial to be absorbed by the human body.
Therefore, the mineral content of water is very small, can be absorbed by the body even less, in addition to the modern standard of living has greatly improved, the body is not a lack of nutrients, the need for nutritional balance, if there is a real lack of certain trace elements, can be supplemented from the food. Because the content of food is far greater than the content of water, for example, a cup of milk contains calcium is equal to 1000 cups of water.


So should you choose an ultrafilter or a water purifier? The purpose of purchasing a water purifier is to provide safe drinking water, and from the filtration accuracy point of view, RO water purifier is more in line with the standard of “water purification”. Drinking water safety is a prerequisite, it is recommended that we judge according to the local water quality, if the water quality is not assured, you can install a water purifier to remove some harmful substances; if the local water quality is very good, you can install ultra-filtration machine, to retain minerals.
