REVERSE OSMOSIS ALTERNATIVES
For growers and homeowners alike with water quality concerns , there are alternatives to RO water . A full water quality analysis by an unbiased professional or lab should be performed to determine what the potential contaminants are . It may be that an RO system is not even needed to purify water for irrigation or drinking . While test results from private companies selling or servicing water treatment equipment may be accurate , the follow-up recommendations from them may align better with their product lines and inventory than on your actual needs . Various filters , compounds , or even light may be used as an alternative to RO treatment . The carbon filter that RO-treated water typically goes through may in fact be all that is needed to control water issues . Carbon filters control or reduce the presence of chlorine , pesticides , radon , and human-made volatile organics . Sediment filters can be used to control and exclude the presence of soil , sand , other solid particles , and even some biological contaminants like Giardia cysts . Private water supplies can be treated with small amounts of chlorine to control or kill bacteria , hydrogen sulfide , iron , and manganese . Water may even be treated by exposure to UV light to kill certain types of bacteria .
There are several other treatment options that don ’ t require the addition of anything to the water , but rather control impurities by some mechanical or physical means such as aeration and distillation . Like RO systems , each of these potential alternatives have their respective pros and cons and should be investigated as to their likely effectiveness in your particular situation before using .
