Why you need a Reverse Osmosis System

WHY YOU NEED A PUREGUARD™ REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM

Tap water from our home is not as clean as you may think, therefor you need a reverse osmosis system.

Suppose you live in a home without any type of water filtration equipment. Your water may not only taste bad but above all, it may also be bad for your health. We live in a time where more thought is given about what foods we put in our bodies. With little regard to the water we drink. Unfortunately, the contaminants found in some residential water supplies can be surprising, and you may be drinking it… There are many options for residential water filtration. But the Pureguard™ reverse osmosis system is the most effective way to remove impurities from the water. Making it healthier to drink. Here are 3 reasons why you need to install a reverse osmosis system in your home:

#1 IT’S BETTER THAN BOTTLED WATER!!!

If you buy bottled water, imagine how much you spend. An average family might pay several hundred dollars or more on providing bottled water for the family. And what about all that plastic? What a waste! Plus, not all water in those bottles is filtered and purified. By definition, bottled water is water in a bottled. You could be buying tap water. Or even well water that has been put in a bottle and labeled “Natural spring” water.

#2 A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM FILTERS THRU MULTIPLE STAGES

A Pureguard™ reverse osmosis system has 4 stages of filtration. With each one meant to remove a different array of contaminants. With the removal of sediment, chlorine, VOCs, and up to 98% of all other contaminants. You are left with purified drinking water that you and your family can actually enjoy.

#3 PURIFIED WATER IS SOMETHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN ACTUALLY ENJOY

Some unfiltered water just tastes and smells terrible. When you drink your tap water, can you taste chemicals like chlorine? Does it have an unpleasant smell? We’re told to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. But that can be hard to do when it leaves a grimy aftertaste in your mouth. A Pureguard reverse osmosis system removes the contaminants that cause your water to taste lousy. It gives you fresh and clean water you won’t mind drinking more of. CONTACT US today for more information on our Pureguard family of reverse osmosis systems.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT A PUREGUARD REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM

What contaminants does a reverse osmosis system remove from your drinking water?

The first stage of a Pureguard™ reverse osmosis system is equipped with sediment filtration. It can remove most of the undissolved sediment.

The second stage is carbon filtration. This reduces contaminants that cannot be removed by reverse osmosis alone. Contaminants such as disinfection, disinfection byproducts, and volatile organic chemicals (VOC).

The third stage is the reverse osmosis membrane. This is a semi-permeable membrane with microscopic holes throughout. Impurities are removed by pushing the water thru these tiny holes. They block contaminants larger than water molecules from going thru.

After that, the fourth stage of filtration is a GAC or extruded carbon filter. This final stage removes any additional adverse smell or taste that could be in the water. It is the last thing your water goes thru before filling your glass. What you’re left with is purified and enjoyable water specifically for your drinking and cooking needs. Above all, food, coffee, tea, etc., can be enhanced with the water from your reverse osmosis system.  

A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM IS THE SOLUTION!

Our reverse osmosis system as a whole can reduce and/or remove substances. In other words, toxins like fluorinated chemicals such as PFAS, magnesium, iron, calcium, and other minerals. However, if the complete removal of minerals from your drinking water is a problem, we can add it back in. We can outfit your Pureguard™ system with a mineralizing cartridge.

Your average refrigerator usually has a carbon filter installed. But reverse osmosis reduces and/or removes chemical contaminants that carbon filtration cannot, such as:

• Nitrates
• Perchlorate
• Arsenic
• Hexavalent Chromium
• Fluoride
