Is this backed up by chemistry or is it a scam?

TL;DR Summary

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place for it, but hoping someone can share some chemistry insights on this.

I am about to buy some reverse osmosis water filter for my home. Is this a scam?

I am about to buy some reverse osmosis water filter for my home. However the seller is trying to sell me;

Far infrared balls, Mai fan balls, Tourmaline ceramic balls, Alkaline ceramic balls, Orp and magnesium balls, Volcanic rock ball, Antibacterial ceramic ball, Germanium stone balls, Radium stone ball, Muy stone ball, Dechlorination ceramic balls

They are selling me those things, stating that it will improve certain aspects of the water, making it “healthier” for me to drink. Are those things actually backed up by chemistry and do they provide any benefits to the water I drink?

Thank you for your time

@abudif1997 -- it is indeed nonsense, and we don't discuss nonsense at PF. Please find a more reputable place to purchase your system. Thread will remain closed.

Note: as opposed to other things you mention, reverse osmosis is a well established, scientifically backed up method of water purification. Whether you really need it, and whether you should buy it from a scammer, is another thing.
