Question sounds very childish sir, heating of water means sterilization. It makes water more safe for use. RO produces clean and safe water and heating or boiling will not change its quality other than it's temperature. Kindly make your concern more clear so as to shed light on issues if any.
Shahul,
I am in debate with some people who propose that I can not heat and use RO water because they think there are chemicals used during sterilization. I know that the RO is a water purification technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from drinking water but I am not sure if there is any other secondary treatment by chemicals which may be affected by heat to produce harmful products. That is my question.
Thank you
After reverse osmosis there will be no chance for the (bacteria, viruses and any dissolved solids especially nitrogenous compounds or heavy metals) to exist. So no need to heat water for the purpose of disinfection after heating. Best regards.
I think that the use of heat or chemicals in the completion of the sterilization process of the water resulting from the use of RO does not have an adverse effect on the specifications of drinking water, Noting that all materials that can produce harmful secondary compounds will be removed, also knowing that the water needs complete sterilization, according to the latest version of the European specifications.
In practice, a fraction of the living bacteria can and do pass through reverse osmosis membranes through minor imperfections, or bypass the membrane entirely through tiny leaks in surrounding seals. Thus, complete reverse osmosis systems may include additional water treatment stages that use ultraviolet light , ozon or any other sterilization method to prevent microbiological contamination .
