How is the water filtration itself carried out?
The water first passes through a pre-filter that reliably removes sediments and inorganic substances
such as chlorine. This filter serves primarily to protect the reverse osmosis filter membrane. After
pre-filtration, the water flows through a booster pump and is forced through the membrane by
a sweat pressure of 0.4-0.6 MPa. This membrane has filter holes as small as 0.0001 µm, allowing
only the smallest ions and water molecules to pass through. Due to this extremely fine structure
of the membrane, filtered substances must also be removed to prevent clogging. This is why
wastewater is produced. In the final filtration, the water passes through a secondary carbon filter,
which ensures a balanced pH value and adds the necessary minerals and fresh taste.
Reasons for mineral loss
The reverse osmosis process is a very effective filtration method that removes most unwanted
substances, such as pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria and viruses. However, the filter also
captures some of the minerals naturally occurring in water. However, this does not completely
remove minerals - the resulting water is not distilled, but still contains a residual amount of minerals.
It is important to remember that water should never be the main source of mineral intake. The body
obtains most of the necessary nutrients from food or quality supplements. Reverse osmosis thus
offers you a clean base - water free of harmful substances, to which you can add exactly what your
body really needs. No unwanted impurities, just purity and control.

Recommendations for adding minerals to RO water
1. Mineralizers - Special additives for reverse osmosis that enrich water with essential minerals,
such as calcium and magnesium.
2. Himalayan salt or mineral drops – A natural way to add trace elements and electrolytes to water.
3. Mineral salt mixtures – Special mixtures sold for remineralizing water.
4. Diet – You can also supplement minerals with a balanced diet (vegetables, fruits, nuts).
5. Mineral supplements – Tablets or powders to enrich water
