Is RO Water Purifier Bad for Health?

Key Points

• The video argues that the idea that reverse osmosis (RO) water is inherently unhealthy because it contains fewer minerals is a misconception. It says RO removes impurities, including pollutants and heavy metals, as well as some minerals, which can be obtained through food. The narrator says major health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), consider RO water safe.
• The narrator warns against MTDS (Manual TDS Adjuster) devices, also called TDS adjusters. According to the video, these devices can raise TDS and improve taste by mixing unpurified water back into purified water, potentially reintroducing contaminants such as arsenic and lead.
• Citing 2018 Central Pollution Control Board data, the video says heavy metals and industrial contaminants were found in 60–70% of water in urban areas.
• Urban Company Native RO is presented favorably. The narrator says it uses a different approach to adding minerals and has filters designed to last up to two years in any water conditions.

Pros and Cons Presented

Pros

• Effective removal of impurities.
• Native RO’s claimed approach to adding minerals and long-lasting filters.

Cons and risks

• RO water may taste different after some minerals are removed.
• Manual TDS adjustment may compromise purification by blending untreated water back in.

Verdict

The video recommends prioritizing scientific purification over marketing claims and avoiding purifiers that use a manual TDS adjuster. It endorses Urban Company Native RO but provides no independent test results, detailed comparison, hands-on review, or numerical rating.

Speaker

One narrator presents the health explanation, warns about TDS adjusters, and endorses Native RO.
