This video highlights the significant challenges associated with Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems. It considers five major drawbacks, beginning with the system's inability to remove certain contaminants, causing a misconception about its effectiveness. Additionally, it talks about the risk of chlorine damaging the membrane if the prefilters are not replaced regularly. The video also mentions the complex installation process that requires drilling that could incur additional costs. Moreover, the system demands a considerable amount of storage space, eliminating the undersink storage. Lastly, it mentions that the flow rate of the filtered water is slower than expected, leading to people opting for unfiltered water.
 

The presenter recommends conducting thorough research on the system’s contamination removal capability before purchasing and being mindful of the prefilters replacement time. They also suggest considering the installation cost, available storage space, and patience for slower water flow rates. Despite these challenges, the presenter still believes in the utility of reverse osmosis systems, offering assistance on their website, Hydroviv.com.
