The choice between ozonation and reverse osmosis depends on your specific requirements. Ozonation is a superior method for disinfection and oxidation, but it does not remove dissolved solids or salts. Roving Blue ozone generators excel in events such as "boil orders" or interruption in water supply due to natural disasters, etc. as many of them are battery operated. In contrast, reverse osmosis is excellent for removing a wide range of contaminants including salts, but it's not as effective as ozonation for disinfection, also generally speaking they require quite a bit of electricity to operate the high pressures needed to force water through the membranes. Therefore they are not as useful for grid-down situations. References: 1. "Ozonation in Water Treatment" from Lenntech (https://www.lenntech.com/library/ozon...) - under the section 'Applications of ozone', it mentions ozonation's strength in disinfection and oxidation. 2. "Reverse Osmosis" from USGS (https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/wa...) - under the section 'How does reverse osmosis work?', it explains reverse osmosis' ability to remove a range of contaminants.
