Comparing RO and alkaline ion water purifiers: Which one to choose for your family?
1. Common points between RO water purifier and Alkaline Ionizer
RO water purifier: RO water purifier uses RO membrane with super small filter holes (0.0001 micrometer) to remove up to 99.99% of impurities, bacteria, pesticides, heavy metals,... ensuring pure output water, protecting the health of users. Alkaline Ionized Water Filter: Alkaline Ionized Water Filter uses electrolysis technology to separate water molecules into H+ and OH- ions. This process not only filters out impurities and harmful bacteria but also provides water rich in hydrogen and alkaline ions to help improve the health of users. |
Common points of RO water purifier and Alkaline Ionized water purifier:
- Uses: Provides clean and safe water by removing impurities and harmful bacteria.
- Design and price: Both product lines are diverse in design and price, helping customers easily choose according to their needs and financial ability.
2. Comparison of Alkaline Ionized Water Filter and RO Water Filter
Although they have the same purpose of use, RO and Alkaline Ion water purifiers have differences in operating principles, output water quality and price. Below is a detailed comparison table of these two types of water purifiers:
| Comparison criteria | RO water purifier | Alkaline Ionized Water Filter |
| Filter technology | RO (Reverse Osmosis) filtration technology | RO (Reverse Osmosis) filtration technology combined with Alkaline Hydrogen Ion core technology or Alkaline Hydrogen Ion electrolysis |
| Filter mechanism | Water is passed through an RO filter membrane with super small filter holes, removing 99.99% of impurities, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals,... | Stage 1: The water will first pass through the RO membrane, this process removes impurities and creates pure water. Stage 2: Once the water has been purified, it is sent to the electrolysis chamber. Here, the water is separated into two types: alkaline water (high pH and rich in hydrogen) and acidic water. This process creates "nutritious" water containing H+ ions. |
| Input water source | Suitable for domestic water such as tap water and well water. | Should use tap water and well water for daily activities. |
| Output water quality | Pure water with natural sweetness, can be used directly. | The output water is alkaline ionized water rich in nutrients and has a natural sweet taste. |
| Effects of output water on health | Prevent digestive diseases. |

| Average price | 3,690,000 to 5,890,000 VND | 5,600,000 - 25,800,000 VND |
2.1. Filtration technology
RO water purifier is equipped with reverse osmosis membrane filtration technology combined with basic coarse filter cores. This technology is capable of pushing water through a filter membrane with ultra-small filter slots, effectively removing impurities, bacteria, viruses and heavy metals.
Alkaline Ionized Water Purifier uses an electrolyzer with titanium electrode plates. After passing through a basic filter to remove impurities and bacteria, the input water enters the electrolyzer for separation. Acidic water is retained at the positive electrode, while alkaline ionized water is collected at the negative electrode. The electrolysis process also uses electric current to separate Oxygen (O2) and Hydrogen (H2), creating water with a high density of dissolved Hydrogen.
2.2. Filtration mechanism
With RO water purifier, the filtration mechanism works as follows:
- Pass raw water through the initial filter cores (cores 1, 2, 3) to remove large impurities such as alum, mud, and pesticide molecules.
- RO water purifier uses high pressure (400 - 1000 Psi) created by a booster pump to push water through the RO membrane. The RO membrane is effective in removing heavy metal ions, bacteria, toxins and carcinogens.
- After passing through the RO membrane, clean water will be stored in the water tank, the waste water will be pushed out and can be reused when needed. The filtration efficiency is usually 40% (with 10 liters of input water, the filtration mechanism can process 4 liters of clean water and 6 liters of waste water).
- When you turn on the faucet, clean water from the tank will pass through additional filter cores (cores 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9). These cores are responsible for adding minerals necessary for the body, neutralizing acids, and balancing the pH of the output water.
Mutosi Slitec RO membrane has achieved international certification NSF/ANSI 58, the global standard for RO filtration systems of NFS (National Sanitation Foundation under WHO)
The water filtration process of the Alkaline Ion water purifier operates based on the principle of electrolysis, including two stages:
- Through RO membrane: The input water source will be passed through a smart filter with many special filter cores. These filter cores help remove toxic substances such as lead, chlorine, residue from water treatment, rust, metals from old water pipes, as well as impurities and bacteria. After the filtration process, the water is not only clean but also retains natural minerals necessary for the body such as calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium.
- Electrolysis: The filtered water will be fed into the electrolysis chamber, which uses membrane electrolysis technology, a proprietary technology of Mutosi in the Mutosi Hydrogen Pro alkaline ionizer line. The technology is improved from membrane-less electrolysis by adding a membrane between the electrode plates. At the cathode, electrons (e-) combine with positive hydrogen ions (H+) to create hydrogen gas (H2) and hydroxide ions (OH-), creating alkaline ionized water. Acidic ionized water is created at the anode. Membrane electrolysis technology helps improve water quality and enhance the antioxidant properties of hydrogen water.
2.3. Input water source
Tap water and well water are common input water sources for both RO water purifiers and alkaline ionized water purifiers. For the filtration and electrolysis process to take place effectively, the input water source must ensure a certain level of cleanliness. In case the water source contains many impurities, it is necessary to conduct preliminary treatment before entering the purifier.
2.4. Initial water quality go out
The output water quality of both RO and alkaline ion water purifiers can be used directly. However, you need to consider the following factors:
- About taste: Water from RO purifier has a natural sweet taste, easy to drink due to the complete removal of unpleasant impurities, while Alkaline Ionized water has a light and sweet taste due to retaining natural minerals.
- About pH: RO water purifier provides pure water with neutral pH, suitable for daily drinking needs, while Alkaline Ionized water has high alkalinity to help balance pH in the body and enhance digestive function.
- About nutrients in water: Alkaline Ionized Water from the filter has a high hydrogen content, which helps to strongly fight oxidation, reduce the risk of aging and chronic diseases. Mutosi water filter provides output water that fully meets the standards of the Ministry of Health, ensuring safety and good health for users.
The output water from Mutosi's water purifier is certified for direct drinking water according to the QCVN 6-1:2010/BYT standard of the Ministry of Health.
2.5. Effects of output water on health
Water from Mutosi's RO and alkaline ionizers both meet the Ministry of Health's direct drinking water standards, ensuring safe quality for users without the need to boil. However, the output water from alkaline ionizers is rated higher thanks to its ability to retain minerals and be rich in hydrogen, with natural alkalinity and strong antioxidant properties. In addition, alkaline hydrogen ionized water also supports the digestive system and has the ability to prevent cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
