Is a Water Ionizer Much Better than a Reverse Osmosis Unit?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On July 25, 2017 7:00 am

 
Reverse osmosis water units are important in survival situations or in war zones where the usual water infrastructure has broken down, for example.  The idea is that dirty water is pumped through a semi-permeable membrane, which removes salt, some bacteria and other contaminants.

Reverse Osmosis = dead water.
Want the Good News First? 

The good news?  It works.  Nearly everything is removed from the water.  The bad news?  That includes the good stuff — the elements we need our drinking water to contain.

That’s not a problem in the very short term.  However, drinking reverse osmosis water as our main source of hydration carries a real risk of denying our bodies the essential minerals we need to thrive.

Tyent Water Ionizers Versus the Competition, Part 4: Water Ionizer vs. Reverse Osmosis System

Posted by: Rhona Reid On November 24, 2016 12:00 pm

We really hope that you’re all enjoying our “How Does an Ionizer Compare to…” series as much as we’re loving putting it together!  We try to be as big on information as we are broad, so hopefully you feel as though you’re getting a clear picture and enough pointers to make an informed decision.

With that in mind, we’re going to take a look at a well-known alternative to a water ionizer – a reverse osmosis system.

We give you the facts. You make the decision.

How Great is Reverse Osmosis Water?

Regular readers will know that we’ve talked about RO water before.  As then, we feel the need to acknowledge its immense value in challenging environments: …

Will My Water Ionizer Work with Reverse Osmosis?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On October 25, 2016 7:00 am

We’ve written about Reverse Osmosis (RO) water here before, and truth be told, it hasn’t always been in exactly glowing terms.  In short, RO water is entirely free of vital minerals, so while it’s great in an emergency, drinking it frequently, over any significant period of time, can actually cause harm.

Reverse Osmosis water can be safe if used with an ionizer.

Bringing Dead Water Back to Life?

But here’s an interesting thing.  Reverse Osmosis water can be revived from it’s somewhat “dead” state by flowing through an ionizer. RO water is clean, but devoid of goodness.  Running clean Reverse Osmosis water through your ionizer  will re-mineralize and stabilize the water, making it safe and good to drink, …

Five Reasons a Water Ionizer is Better than Reverse Osmosis

Posted by: Rhona Reid On April 21, 2016 9:00 am

 
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a method of producing clean, drinkable water from seawater, brackish water or any kind of water that contains impurities that untreated, renders it unsuitable for safe drinking.

Only one of these will try to steal your calcium.
Only one of these will try to steal your calcium.

It is produced by pumping water through a semi-permeable membrane, which removes undesirable elements such as salt, effluent, bacteria and particle matter.  Excellent, right?  Well, yes and no.  Let’s take a closer look.

  1. What’s in RO Water?

Not a lot.  Almost everything gets removed.  And that includes the good stuff.  In order to make sure the toxic and undrinkable constituents don’t make it into the drinking water, the minerals that your body needs also get filtered out.  Short …

Is Alkaline Water As Good For You As Reverse Osmosis Water?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On February 23, 2016 9:00 am

 
A quick read about Reverse Osmosis water and it sounds great…the water is filtered to remove any of the bad stuff, and what splashes into your glass is pure and clean liquid refreshment.  Well yes, it is.  But that’s all it is.  It’s the watery equivalent of a wasteland.  No life, no minerals. But you could manage without them, maybe?  Take a supplement?

Victim of Crime?  Is Your Water Stealing Your Minerals?
Victim of Crime?  Is Your Water Stealing Your Minerals?

Well, yes you could, but the news about Reverse Osmosis water gets worse.  Not only is it “dead” water, in that it doesn’t deliver anything beneficial to your system except for simple hydration, but it is so mineral-deprived that it actually scavenges minerals from your body.  …

Tyent Water Ionizers vs Reverse Osmosis Part 2 (Version 2)

Posted by: Rhona Reid On January 27, 2015 6:19 pm

Yesterday we looked at the way in which the process of Reverse Osmosis works to purify water.  In a nutshell, this is how RO works:  water is forced by pressure through a semi-permeable membrane that allows the water molecules to pass through but not larger molecules like iron, salts and minerals.

How does RO water compare to Tyent Water?

The final product is water that contains fewer impurities, but also has had all the important minerals and salts filtered out.  As mentioned yesterday, many industries rely on non-corrosive RO water for use in the manufacture of their products.

Moreover, drinking water purified by this process requires that those minerals be reintroduced into the water to make it healthier. 

It’s Tyent’s …

The Tyent Alkaline Water Ionizer Company Explains the Reverse Osmosis Process (Updated)

Posted by: Rhona Reid On January 26, 2015 7:11 pm

 
What is Reverse Osmosis Water and is it better than Tyent Ionized Alkaline Water?  That is an interesting question. We first need to describe what osmosis is before reversing it. 

Nope. Not learning by osmosis.
Nope. She’s not “learning by osmosis.”

Osmosis is a process that occurs naturally in the world.  When plant roots extract water from the ground or your kidneys extract water from the blood that is the natural process of osmosis.

Reverse osmosis or RO, is not a type of water.  Reverse osmosis is the purification process by which regular water is transformed into water that has been purified by reverse osmosis.  The concept and process itself is rather simple. 

Water is introduced into a chamber that is separated from another …

You Know What’s In Your Water. Now What?

Posted by: tyent On October 3, 2012 6:37 pm

If you’ve just downloaded your free water report, you’ve seen a list of the contaminants in your local tap water. But what does that mean for you and your family? And what are the best alternatives?

Research on water and hydration shows a few key facts about the differences between water, whether that’s tap, bottled water, reverse-osmosis water, or alkaline ionized water.

Tap Water

Tap water protects us from the mass contamination found in well water, which is an important advancement in water technology. But chemicals are added to tap water to do a number of things, like adjust the pH and remove contaminants (such as chlorine) to kill biological toxins.  Though tap water is now regulated by the …
