Drinking Water FAQs

The city treats my water so it’s safe to drink. What more do I need?

The quality of your home’s water may meet local standards, but it might not meet your own. Reverse osmosis drinking water purification systems are usually used in the kitchen, where you are most apt to get your drinking water, and where you prepare your food and beverages.  You need the healthiest and best tasting water available.

Also, the methods used to treat municipal water – including chlorine – could be impacting the smell and taste of your mixed beverages and your cooking. A drinking water system provides bottled water quality, without the bottled water price paid at the store and at the recycling center.

My water tastes fine. Why would I need a drinking water system?

Ordinary tap water can contain dissolved metals, such as iron or lead. It might contain chlorine, nitrates, and mineral salts. Or it could have sulfates, mercury, asbestos, or arsenic in it. A reverse osmosis water treatment system reduces more than 95% of dissolved solids, including many harmful contaminants.

I’m worried about bacteria in my drinking water. How can I be sure it’s removed?

Our microbiological drinking water purification system is certified to reduce 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses, and 99.95% of cysts, such as giardia and cryptosporidium.

How often do the filters have to be changed?

Filter replacement is based on your home’s water and your specific water use. Talk to us about service program options that might include routine filter replacements.

The water from my Reverse Osmosis System has a taste to it.

You could be due for a filter change. Or maybe something has changed with your water, and it will be better served by a different type of filter cartridge in your drinking water system.  A conversation with us is your safest bet in finding a solution.
