Advanced Water Purification Technology
Understanding how our filtration systems deliver pure, clean water
What is Reverse Osmosis (RO) ?
- Removes heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury)
- Eliminates fluoride, nitrates, sulfates
- Filters viruses, bacteria, microplastics
- Removes PFAS (forever chemicals)
What is a Activated Carbon Filter?
- Removes chlorine and chloramines
- Eliminates volatile organic compounds
- Improves taste and odor
- Reduces pharmaceutical residues
Why Combine RO + Carbon Filtration?
Together, these two technologies create a multi-barrier system that addresses nearly all major contaminant groups
RO Membrane
Strengths
Removes inorganic compounds, heavy metals, microbes
Weakness
Less effective on chlorine or VOCs
Carbon Filter
Strengths
Removes chlorine, VOCs, taste/odor
Weakness
Doesn't remove heavy metals or microbes
Combined Benefits
- Comprehensive removal of chemical, microbial, and organic pollutants
- Significant reduction in microplastics and pharmaceutical residues
- Superior taste and safety compared to tap or bottled water
RO + Carbon vs. Tap & Bottled Water
Tap Water Risks
- Aging infrastructure introduces lead and copper
- Legal limits for arsenic and nitrate are outdated
- Unregulated PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics
- EPA regulation gaps for emerging contaminants
Bottled Water Risks
- Often just filtered tap water (Dasani, Aquafina)
- Microplastics from plastic packaging
- FDA regulation less strict than EPA
- Independent testing shows contamination
What Do Reverse Osmosis + Carbon Filters Remove?
Compare filtration effectiveness across different water sources
Contaminant | Tap Water | Bottled Water | Carbon Only | RO + Carbon |
---|---|---|---|---|
Lead | Common in homes with old pipes | Sometimes present | ❌ | ✅ 95–99% removed |
Chlorine/Chloramines | Added for disinfection | Sometimes present | ✅ Removed | ✅ Removed |
Fluoride | Added in most U.S. cities | Variable | ❌ | ✅ Up to 95% removed |
PFAS | Found in 45%+ of U.S. tap water | Sometimes present | ❌ | ✅ Up to 99% removed |
Microplastics | Found in ~81% globally | Found in 90%+ bottled | ❌ | ✅ Reduced |
Heavy Metals | Common in U.S. regions | Sometimes present | ❌ | ✅ 90–99% removed |
Nitrates/Nitrites | Rural fertilizer runoff | Sometimes present | ❌ | ✅ 90–99% removed |
Pharmaceuticals | Detected in many cities | Often untested | ❌ | ✅ Reduced |
Pesticides/Herbicides | Can leach into supplies | Not always tested | ⚠️ Partial | ✅ Removed |
Bacteria & Viruses | Distribution risks | Usually disinfected | ❌ | ✅ Removed |
Taste/Odor Compounds | Often present | Plasticky | ✅ Removed | ✅ Removed |
Heavy Metals
Corroded pipes and groundwater contamination introduce metals like lead and arsenic. These pose risks to brain and kidney health and to child development. RO removes 95–99% of lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and mercury, while carbon has limited effect on metals.
PFAS ("Forever Chemicals")
PFAS enter water from firefighting foam, industrial waste, and non-stick coatings. They are linked to cancer, immune dysfunction, and hormonal disruption. RO removes more than 99% of PFAS, and carbon also adsorbs many PFAS compounds.
Microplastics
Microplastics come from pipe erosion, bottled water, and synthetic clothing fibers. They have potential impacts on hormone balance, immunity, and gut health. RO membranes with pore sizes of 0.0001 microns filter most microplastics, while carbon can capture associated chemicals.
Disinfection Byproducts
Chlorine reacting with organic matter in water produces disinfection byproducts like THMs and HAAs. These are linked to bladder cancer and other health issues. RO systems effectively remove these compounds while carbon provides additional protection.
Health Benefits of RO + Carbon Filtration
Advanced water purification technology for optimal health and wellness
Reduced Toxic Load
Removes harmful metals, PFAS, and pharmaceuticals that can cause cancer, thyroid disorders, and reproductive issues.
Digestive Health
Eliminates parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium, supporting digestive wellness and immune function.
Microplastic Protection
Dramatically reduces plastic fragments that disrupt hormones and damage gut health over time.
Enhanced Hydration
Pure, great-tasting water encourages better hydration habits for improved energy and mental clarity.
