Arsenic is odorless and tasteless, and it will go undetected and ultimately the health effects of Arsenic exposure will be severe such as stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, thickening and discoloration of skin and a lot more. Moreover, long-term exposure to this dangerous chemical will have more chronic symptoms and will be fatal.

The best water filtration system to remove arsenic from your drinking water is the Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filtration system. It is the process that uses pressure to force water through a special semi-permeable membrane to remove dissolved pollutants. As proven, it filters out up to 99% of arsenic from water while serving your home with ample amounts of fresh, clean water every day. A properly running RO system will likely reject any contaminant that has a molecular weight that is greater than 200. Whenever the feedwater enters the RO membrane under pressure, the water molecules pass through the membrane and the salts and other contaminants are blocked and discharged through the reject stream. It is then the wastewater will get washed down on the drain or the system channels go back into the feedwater supply for the system to recycle and save water. And the perfect way to do this is to swap out the filters and membranes according to the system’s manual. Just replace the RO membrane every two years depending on the water quality in your area and the volume of water the system supplies to your home.

Furthermore, this Reverse Osmosis system is also energy and cost effective because the process does not use electricity, and the system itself will produce high-quality water for pennies per gallon. The convenience of being able to access it right at your kitchen tap is significant. Lastly, this arsenic filter is quite easy to maintain and requires no chemicals.
