Budget systems from home improvement stores often show drastically reduced performance in as little as six months.ĭistillers can be an excellent choice, but a high quality distiller, designed to last decades, is very costly. Contaminant removal rates are listed under optimal laboratory conditions, but in real world installations performance can vary greatly. RO systems perform poorly when faced with fluoride, nitrates, and radioactive particles. Typical reverse osmosis (RO) systems (if designed correctly) will reduce, but not completely eliminate, most heavy metals and dissolved salts. If you read the fine print you'll find their ability to reduce contaminant levels is minimal. These products are designed to improve taste, odor, and appearance. Gadget filters that attach to your faucet or fit in a pitcher typically use granular activated carbon or a small carbon block. We could have installed a BEV system on each floor of every school, assured the purity of the water today and in the future, and saved tax payers a lot of money.ĭon't make the same mistake! Be sure the water treatment system you choose is capable of removing ALL contaminants.Ĭarbon filters, using granular activated carbon (GAC) or a carbon block are great (if designed correctly) at removing a long list of organic contaminants and chlorine can slightly reduce a few toxic heavy metals (mercury), but have no capacity at all to remove dissolved mineral salts (arsenic) or nitrates. And look at the result: water treatment (or lack thereof) that is incapable of coping with whatever new contaminant appears. Of course, bureaucrats first want to commission expensive studies from consulting firms. We attended the original 2003 meetings where the water problem was discussed. In this Seattle Times article, the latest reports show ARSENIC at unsafe levels, prompting the school system to shut down the water system again. Unfortunately, as noted in this Seattle Post-Intelligencer news story, the filters that were installed to remove lead have been found to be ineffective removing cadmium-another toxic heavy metal found to exist in dangerously high levels.
By October, '04, treatment was completed at 38 schools. In 2003 officials began a costly program of adding filters, replacing fountains, and in some instances completely replacing pipes. In Seattle, it had long been known school water fountains contained unsafe levels of lead. Only the correct combination of technologies can ensure absolute purity.Įxpensive Lesson (or "Don't let this happen to you!") Our research exposes a very serious problem: every other water filter on the market leaves you defenseless to one class of contamination or another. We've been selling water filter systems meeting BEV standards for over 20 years, and have evaluated dozens of approaches to creating pure, healthy, bio-compatible drinking water. Our multi-phase water filters combine carbon adsorption, reverese osmosis, and deionization-ensuring complete removal of flouride, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, as well as nitrates and bacteria, cyst, and virus. Other brands selectively remove only certain contaminants, leaving you vulnerable. Never be concerned if your water filter will remove the next exotic chemical found in your water supply. We can't imagine anyone spending their money on a water filter or purifier that leaves ANY level of toxic compounds in the water! Would you buy a car, or ride in an airplane, that only got you part way to your destination? Industrial chemicals and solvents like TCE, MTBE, VOC's, etc.Īll other water filters leave you exposed to some level of dangerous contaminants.Chlorine, Chloramines, and Disinfection By-Products (DBPs).Fluoride, Radioactive Particles, Arsenic, Hexavalent Chromium, Lead, Mercury,.Our water filters provide complete removal of ALL contaminants from drinking water including: Our systems combine the same technologies used to purify water for drug manufacturing - a process that demands absolute purity!
Our unique multi-phase design* is much more than a typical reverse osmosis filter - we add another completely different and highly effective form of purification after reverse osmosis! Why should you invest in a water filter from Pure Water Systems?īecause our water filters are more effective removing contaminants (including fluoride) than any other system, even the most costly distillers! Also because our water purifiers are designed to last decades, not months or years, and are backed by our limited lifetime warranty.
