A reverse osmosis system will filter the majority of minerals (both healthy and unhealthy) and chemical materials from water, including salt, fluoride, lead, manganese, iron, and calcium.
There is no need to worry about the removal of the healthy minerals. The inorganic minerals in water cannot be digested by our bodies, so removing the minerals does not affect the healthiness of the water. Minerals contained in food are in a form that we can digest.
Even with the use of a water softener, impurities may still be in the water you drink and use for washing and cooling food. A reverse osmosis system can remove those impurities, including 98% of the sodium left by the water-softening process.
A reverse osmosis system and a water softener combination have additional benefits.
GOOD… Chlorine has done a good job in killing off most microorganisms in the water.
BAD… Chlorine treatment does not absolutely ensure that your water is safe to drink.

We have relied on chlorine to purify our water and kill unwanted microorganisms, and it has done a good job of killing most of them for over 100 years. But there are some downsides.
Chlorine treatment does not absolutely ensure the faucets in our home provide drinking water that is free of unhealthy microorganisms. Bacteria e-coli can occasionally be found in chlorinated tap water. So chlorine treatment doesn’t guarantee safe drinking water.
There are numerous health concerns related to chlorinated water that you can learn about here.
