You say that viruses are smaller than sodium or chloride ions? I got
A's in college chemistry, and I have trouble believing it.

See. I think the chart on this RO-promotion website is very telling....
http://www.freedrinkingwater.com/rejection.htm
It says RO passes the pollutants test from NSF 58 on the left column and
REDUCES/rejects the pollutants on the right column. Reduces? It doesn't
say HOW MUCH it reduces. I find this omission on lots of "charts" like
this one telling me we're not hearing the full story.

http://www.pwgazette.com/tfc.htm
Here's a "partial list" that does show the percentages.....
94-96% of arsenic. How much arsenic should we drink?
95-98% of the radioactivity. I hope there's no radioactivity in your
seawater, but there is. Again, is this too much?
99% of the viruses. Will 1% of the herpes viruses in my glass give me
herpes? YES IT WILL...just like the 3% of the radium will cause cancer
in laboratory humans.

RO is a FILTER, that lets a fair percentage of the bad stuff flow
through. These numbers come from an RO company. Are they higher than
reality in an RO system with a 3-year-old membrane that's been running on
a boat filtering seawater? I'd suspect they'd be quite optimistic
numbers on an older membrane.....
