Here’s the twist: RO water can be too pure. It’s so clean that it’s a little aggressive—like a motivational speaker who never stops smiling. Stage 5 adds back healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium. It’s the water’s redemption arc: “I was pure, but now I’m helpful!”
Without this step, your water might leach minerals from your pipes or your body in a “maybe I shouldn’t drink distilled water forever” kind of way. With it, you get crisp, balanced hydration that tastes bottled-bought. Plus, you can tell your friends, “My water has a personal growth journey.”
