is For You?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look for the answer together in our head-to-head comparison of reverse osmosis vs water softener!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Reverse_Osmosis\"><\/span>What is Reverse Osmosis?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reverse osmosis is one of the many <strong>water purification processes<\/strong> available to us. It basically uses a porous membrane to separate the contaminants from a solvent like water. The clean water gets to pass across the membrane while leaving harmful molecules, ions and similar undesirable substances on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Reverse_Osmosis\"><\/span>Advantages of Reverse Osmosis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purifies_Water\"><\/span>Purifies Water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This process removes many contaminants from the default water supplied by the municipality. More often than not, this water has microbes and chemical pollutants crawling in it. A water purifier or filter equipped with reverse osmosis mechanism can put an end to them by <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/best-under-sink-water-filter\/\">making water safer<\/a> for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweet_Taste\"><\/span>Sweet Taste<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By removing harmful substances, reverse osmosis can also make the water more palatable for you. The clean water tastes sweeter, appear clearer and have a better smell than its original form. As a result, you and your loved ones will feel more encouraged to drink water every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Affordable\"><\/span>Affordable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Devices using reverse osmosis as their preferred purification method are available at a much lower price point than other similar solutions. Each gallon of<a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/distilled-vs-purified-water\/\"> water purified<\/a> by reverse osmosis only costs pennies which is remarkably economical for the majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages_of_Reverse_Osmosis\"><\/span>Disadvantages of Reverse Osmosis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clogging\"><\/span>Clogging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This process relies on a partially permeable membrane to filter out the impurities. The membrane contains small pores which are easily clogged. As a result, the whole system may come to a standstill if the pores start to get blocked. That is why you must arrange for regular maintenance and change filters routinely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Slow_Output\"><\/span>Slow Output<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the water has to pass the membrane every time it goes through the process, you may observe a receding speed in its output. The flow rate from each water outlet will decrease in the initial stages of reverse osmosis. So remember to wait for a while to get clean water once you have installed the system in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Water_Softener\"><\/span>What is Water Softener?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/best-home-water-softener-reviews\/\">water softener simply helps<\/a> to transform the original hard water into soft water by eradicating the associated contents from it. Such elements causing hardness in water usually include magnesium, calcium and some metal cations. The most common ingredients used in these devices are lime, resin and washing soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Water_Softener\"><\/span>Advantages of Water Softener<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_Skin_And_Hair\"><\/span>Better Skin And Hair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard water is especially hard on skin and hair. Even though its effects on our appearance often goes unnoticed, minerals of hard water can actually make the outer membranes rougher than usual. By switching to soft water, you will feel more beautiful every day with brighter skin and silkier hair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Longer_Appliance_Lifespan\"><\/span>Longer Appliance Lifespan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, soft water can actually extend the lifespan of your appliances! Usually, when hard water leaves mineral deposits inside the pipes of appliances like refrigerators, coffee makers and washing machines. Such buildups can reduce their longevity. Being devoid of minerals, soft water can keep them functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requires_Less_Energy\"><\/span>Requires Less Energy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with providing you the appliance services for a longer time, soft water can also save you some money from the utility fees! It uses 30% less energy than hard water and can save over $200 per month! So in a year, you can see a huge boost in your financial reserves by investing in a water softener.<br>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fk6aE0UhgJg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages_of_Water_Softener\"><\/span>Disadvantages of Water Softener<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Less_Nutrition\"><\/span>Less Nutrition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the many reasons we don\u2019t recommend soft water for drinking is its absence of minerals. In the process of removing hardness, this water also loses most of its useful nutrients like calcium. As a result, your teeth, bone and other body parts may suffer from ingesting soft water every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excess_Sodium\"><\/span>Excess Sodium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though soft water does not have most minerals like calcium and magnesium, it does retain huge amounts of sodium. This kind of water can have 10-50 parts per million (ppm) of sodium or, more specifically &#8211; 12.5 mg per 8 oz. of water which is well beyond our daily limit. Thus, drinking it regularly poses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/is-my-water-softener-raising-my-blood-pressure-1763997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>high health risks<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparing_Water_Softener_Vs_Reverse_Osmosis\"><\/span>Comparing Water Softener Vs Reverse Osmosis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Applications\"><\/span>Applications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of reverse osmosis enhances the taste, appearance and smell of water. As a result, it becomes much more pleasant to drink and inspires people to stay more hydrated throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, water softener makes the municipality water better suited for household routine tasks like cleaning dishes, washing clothes and showers. The soft water lathes easily with soap which makes cleaning jobs easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Risks\"><\/span>Health Risks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a common misconception that water softeners can also purify the water. The truth is, they can only remove the hardness by eliminating most minerals and metals. For <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/ispring-water-filter-review\/\">truly clean water<\/a> without any contaminants like microbes or chemical toxins, purification systems like reverse osmosis are much more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beauty_Upgrade\"><\/span>Beauty Upgrade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterly.com\/best-shower-filter-for-well-water-reviews\/\">Taking shower<\/a> with soft water every day will make your skin and hair much more attractive. Using a water softener for your bath can improve the texture of your hair follicles by making it softer and shinier. Your skin will also feel velvety with regular use. The same cannot be guaranteed by reverse osmosis purifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maintenance\"><\/span>Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reverse osmosis devices are more prone to clogging because of their pores. So you may need to seek professional help more frequently. Water softeners, on the other hand, save energy and ensure a longer lifespan for your household appliances. As a result, they require less maintenance than reverse osmosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_Line_%E2%80%93_Which_One_is_For_You\"><\/span>Bottom Line &#8211; Which One is For You?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the best idea we have come up with after observing the qualities of reverse osmosis vs water softeners is to use them both for different purposes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surely, it might increase your initial cost. But the health and long term financial benefits cannot be overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water softeners should be used in our household tasks like showers, laundry and dishwashing since they lathe well with soap. They also increase the longevity of your appliances and cutleries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For drinking, we prefer reverse osmosis because it removes the contaminants and improves the taste of water. So get the best of both worlds every day by installing them together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are three of the best selling RO systems on Amazon:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n
