The best water purifier for home use is the DURO Reverse Osmosis purifier. It produces up to 75 gallons of great-tasting drinking water per day using dedicated sediment and carbon pre-filters that give you a long run time before you have to change the cartridges. Learn more about this great product.
Reverse Osmosis is a better option than other water filtration processes because it removes several dissolved substances while still giving you great-tasting water. It also doesn't add any additional chemicals to your water. Instead, it separates the unwanted contaminants from your incoming water. Learn more about how it works and how it compares to other water purifying options.

The Best Water Purifier for Home Use, Reverse Osmosis: How It Works
Reverse osmosis is a water purifying process that forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that has very small holes or "pores”.
Clean water passes through the membrane and impurities that are too big to pass are left behind and flushed away.
According to Engineering at Dartmouth, reverse osmosis was actually invented by a French physicist, Jean Antoine Nollet in the eighteenth century. In1969 it started to be used as a commercial application when Dean Spatz used the process to separate maple sugar from sap. From that time on, it has become a popular process for filtering water.
The following video demonstrates the process of reverse osmosis.
With reverse osmosis, impurities that are too big to pass through the membrane are left behind and flushed away.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of how the reverse osmosis process works:
Step 1:
During the initial filtration step, your tap or well water (pressurized by a booster pump) passes through a particle filter (a pre-filter) that removes silt, sediment, sand, and clay particles that might clog the R/O membrane.
Step 2:
Your water is then forced through an activated carbon filter that traps minerals and contaminants such as chromium, mercury, copper, chloramine and pesticides. It also removes chlorine, which is really important because chlorine will shorten the life of your membrane.
Step 3:
Water is transferred under pressure into the R/O module, allowing only clean water to pass through the small pores in the membrane. Impurities unable to pass through the membrane are left behind and flushed down your drain.
Step 4:
Treated water is then sent to your storage tank.
Step 5:
Treated water is passed through an activated carbon filter before use to further improve the water's taste and smell.
The Duro Reverse Osmosis System, available at WaterSmart, features pre and post-carbon block filtration. The carbon filter acts as a complementary measure to block dangerous chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and chlorine, which are small enough to pass through the filter.
Reverse osmosis removes harmful contaminants from your drinking water
The Best Water Purifier for Home Use, Reverse Osmosis vs Other Options
There are many different water filtration systems available, but which one is the best water purifier for home use? Here are some of your options:
Water filter pitcher
Faucet water filters
Under-the-sink water purifiers
Large water purifiers installed in your basement
Water distillers
Water filter pitchers and faucet water filters:
Water filter pitchers and faucet water filters are both quite inexpensive options, however, they can't handle large amounts of water and they don't remove as many contaminates as a reverse osmosis system can.
Under-the-sink and larger water purifiers:
Under-the-sink and larger water purifiers installed in your basements can purify larger quantities of water, however, again they don't remove all of the contaminants that a reverse osmosis system can.
Water distillers:
A water distiller will remove everything from your water that isn't pure H2O, however, the resulting water is not very pleasant tasting and the distilling process takes a long time. On average, a countertop distiller will take between 4 and 6 hours to distill one gallon of water.
Faucet water filters don’t remove as many contaminants as reverse osmosis
Reverse Osmosis:
Reverse osmosis filter systems can remove up to 99.99% of the most harmful contaminants found in your drinking water making it the best water purifier for home use. High-quality reverse osmosis systems can remove dangerous contaminants including:
Reverse Osmosis can remove up to 99.99% of contaminants
Benefits of a Reverse Osmosis System
There are many benefits to using a Reverse Osmosis system. These include:
Remove Unwanted Substances:
Reverse osmosis can remove dissolved solids, salts, minerals that cause hardness, organic chemicals and other impurities.
Improve Your Water's Taste:
It can improve the taste of water for people who do not like the taste of dissolved mineral solids.
Protection for Your Appliances:
Treated water will not produce scale in kettles and coffee makers.
Helpful if You Need to Lower Your Sodium or Potassium:
Because sodium and potassium are removed, people on a medically prescribed sodium or potassium-restricted diet may benefit.
Remove Contaminants:
Reverse osmosis units may also remove contaminants such as chromium, mercury and nitrates.
Silent Operation:
Reverse Osmosis units produce no noise other than the sound of water discharging into the drain (usually a sink or a floor drain).
