Due
to the vast array of contaminants found in our water, (microorganisms,
bacteria, viruses, parasites, cysts and chemicals - chlorine and it's
harmful by products when mixed with other elements (over 106 different
chemicals! and more unidentified metals - lead, copper, mercury and
Pesticides & Herbicides) no one water treatment is totally effective. Combining treatment technologies will effectively remove most if not all
the unwanted pollutants from our water. Testing your water is recommended
however it is expensive and to test water properly one should send in
a sample at least once each month. Chemicals and unwanted pollutants
can show up in higher concentrations depending upon the time of year
they are being used or absorbed. Instead of spending thousands of dollars
obtaining a full detailed water testing report why not apply it towards
a good water purification system and be assured it is money well spent
with a "Positive Solution"! Filtration is the removal of certain elements from the water through the
use of screens (sediment filters) collecting and trapping suspended
matter (dirt & sand). Filters that have a carbon material additionally
absorb gaseous odors thus improving taste. The efficiency of filtration
is limited to how fast the water flows over the carbon and how much
carbon material is contacted. There is a multitude of other contaminants
still found in the water. Purification is the separation of most all pollutants from the pure water
molecules. There is no process treatment that removes all the contaminants,
therefore combining treatment technologies will effectively remove most
if not all the unwanted pollutants from the water! The 3 most effective
methods combined to eliminate impurities are Reverse Osmosis (Separation),
Sediment Filtration & Carbon Absorption. The performance of all
water systems is dependent on Water pressure, temperature & contaminant
level. 5
STAGE RO SYSTEMS: are for those individuals that demand thee highest
quality from their water purifier, have high concentrate of pollutants
or chlorinated treated water, demand high output when making purified
water. It has the most combined water treatment technologies and will
cost more in the up-keep changing out filters. SEDIMENT FILTERS
- remove turbidity (dirt & sand). CTO FILTERS - Carbon/sediment
filters combined (extruded activated carbon block). PB+1 FILTERS - carbon/sediment
filters that has been treated to additionally remove lead & other
metals. DI FILTERS - Deionization which absorbs TDS (metals & minerals)
that slipped pass the membrane separation process. UV IRRADIATION disinfectant
process that alters & destroys DNA of microorganisms. Recommended
especially for non-chlorinated water. |
