A very effective whole house water treatment system uses reverse osmosis, commonly referred to as RO. In an RO system, water under pressure is forced through very small pores in the membrane and the dissolved chemicals are left on the pressure side of the membrane. RO can remove up to 99.8% of the chemicals in the treated water, such as arsenic, cyanide, chrome, copper, nickel and other ions. In addition, water hardness caused by calcium and magnesium is also removed. This eliminates lime scale formation on bath fixtures, in pipes and in the water heater.
