WATER FILTRATION ANSWERS

1. What is the difference between premium filtration - reverse osmosis drinking/cooking water and carbon filtration drinking/cooking water?

The difference is what elements are removed from the water. The premium filtration-reverse osmosis process removes up to 99% of undesirable elements in water - includes pesticides, lead, cysts, mercury, copper, nitrates, tannins, etc. Depending on which filter is included in the system, the carbon filtration process can remove lead, VOC's, chlorine, cysts, and sediment.

2. Will a household filter improve the taste of my drinking/cooking water?

A household filter is designed to remove sediment, rust, and sand from all the water entering your home. A household filter helps avoid sediment build up in your water heater and appliances. To remove unpleasant tastes and odors from your drinking/cooking water, purchase an undersink single or dual stage carbon filtration system or premium filtration system.
