Why you should avoid
drinking RO Water

It has been scientifically confirmed that drinking reverse osmosis water causes more bodily harm and faster than most contaminants found in tap water. Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems to purify water are in use extensively. Besides the aqua companies that market RO water, personal water purifiers are also preferred by many households. 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. The RO system off course removes water impurities. But they also remove 92-99% of beneficial calcium and magnesium!  

Health Risks of Consuming RO Water:

  1. Dilutes body electrolytes.
  2. Disrupts organ function.
  3. Early symptoms: tiredness, weakness, headache.
  4. Severe symptoms: muscular cramps, impaired heart rate.
  5. Long-term use can lead to acidic, nutrient-depleted water intake.

BARC Technology 

Reverse Osmosis

Better Health

BARC technology preserves beneficial minerals while effectively removing contaminants, unlike other water purifiers, such as those using reverse osmosis, which strip away essential minerals, potentially leading to health issues.

Zero Waste

BARC technology minimizes water wastage, eliminating the 2-20 gallons wasted by other water purifiers, particularly reverse osmosis systems, during filtration.

Quick Installation

BARC technology simplifies installation, requiring no drain line connection and offering flexibility in faucet connection options, unlike other water purifiers that may need dedicated lines or additional installation steps.

Better Taste

BARC technology enhances the taste of water, providing a lighter and more vibrant mouthfeel, as reported by satisfied users, distinguishing it from the taste of water from other purifiers.

Lower Maintenance

BARC technology requires minimal maintenance, with only one filter change annually, compared to the periodic testing and replacement of membranes and pressure tanks in other water purifiers.

Longevity

BARC technology ensures long-lasting performance, with most systems still in use years after purchase, indicating durability and reliability compared to other water purifiers.

Continuous Fast Flow

BARC technology provides a continuous flow of water at a consistent rate, ensuring a reliable supply, unlike other water purifiers, particularly reverse osmosis systems, which may have slower flow rates and run out quickly.

Bengaluru water crisis: How use of RO purifiers is reversing efforts to save water.

Amid the institutional & personal attempts to save water in Bengaluru, an obvious culprit is being ignored

Govt issues draft notification on use of RO system ban where tap water meets BIS norms.

Reverse osmosis water filters unhealthy: WHO

Reverse osmosis (RO) water filters are not good for health according to a recent warning issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO)
