Here we have a multi-stage selective filtration and reverse osmosis water treatment comparison.
I had read some reverse osmosis reviews for the Ever-pure ROM III.
Customers praised and complained about the system.
I had also read some customer opinions of multi-stage selective filtration, so I decided to compare the two.
Typically, all that you can find is a reverse osmosis water treatment comparison of one RO device to another.
I realize that comparing multi-stage selective filtration to RO is something like comparing apples to oranges, but people need to know about all of their options.
Most of the positive reverse osmosis reviews that I have seen were for the ROM III.
It is a unique product, in that it has three separate stages.
Most reverse osmosis reviews are for products that have only one or two stages.
The varieties of contaminants that can be removed through single stage RO are limited to minerals, lead and cysts.
The second stage that is usually added is granular activated carbon or GAC.
This removes some chlorine, but the waters can channel around the carbon granules and carry chlorine on through.
Tiny particles of crushed carbon called "fines" can end up in your glass.
Bacteria can grow in the spaces between the carbon granules, causing illness.
The best multi-stage selective filtration devices use carbon blocks, rather than GAC.
So, it is that type of system that I used for this reverse osmosis water treatment comparison.
The ROM III also includes a carbon block.
The unwanted contaminants removed by the ROM III and multi-stage selective filtration are the same.
The problem with the ROM is that good tasting and health minerals are also removed.
That's the "selective" part of multi-stage selective filtration.
Any minerals that are naturally present in your water are not removed.
It is mineral removal that accounts for a lot of the negative reverse osmosis reviews.
Customers complain that the taste is stale, bland or unpleasant.
But the big thing that people complain about is price.
The price of a multi-stage selective filtration device will always be the winner in a reverse osmosis water treatment comparison, but we're comparing best to best.
A ROM III costs $679.
99.
The best multi stage device costs $124.
99.
To me, that's a big difference.
I could take the difference and by showerhead filters for all of my bathrooms and enough replacement cartridges to last for two years.
Why would anyone pay that much? It's not like the RO system filters water all over the house.
It's strictly for the kitchen, just like the less expensive purifier.
The complaints that I've read in reverse osmosis reviews also include the cost of replacement cartridges; over $300 for 500 gallons as opposed to $48 for 500 gallons.
Either system will protect your family from chlorine, THMs, VOCs, bad odor, dirt, rust, cysts, lead and other metallic traces.
For the extra cost, the only thing that you get is bad taste and a need for more vitamin supplements.
Hopefully, this reverse osmosis water treatment comparison will help you make the right choice.
