Deionization or DI filters strip water of 96% to 99% of all impurities. The use of a pre-filtration system, such as a reverse osmosis filter, will greatly extend the life span of the DI filter. DI filters also alter the property of water by removing electrolytes from the water during the filtration process. Avoid drinking water purified with a DI filter because the lack of electrolytes will cause the DI water to strip the electrolytes from your body.
