Drinking Water Systems
Point Of Use (POU) systems fall into four main categories; Single Stage Carbon Filtration, Multi Stage Carbon Filtration, Reverse Osmosis Filtration and Countertop Filtration.
The difference between single stage and multi stage filtration is pretty obvious. Less contaminants are addressed in single stage and more contaminants are addressed in multi stage. Understandably filtering less contaminants cost less then filtering more contaminants.
Reverse Osmosis on the other hand addresses all contaminants and the cost is proportional.
Counter top units address the least amount of contaminants but interestingly cost more when you factor in the continuing maintenance costs.
What is reverse osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis is the reversal of the natural flow of osmosis. In a water purification system, the goal is not to dilute the salt solution, but to separate the pure water from the salt and other contaminants. When the natural osmotic flow is reversed, water from the salt solution is forced through the membrane in the opposite direction by application of pressure-thus the term REVERSE OSMOSIS. Through this process, we are able to produce pure water by screening out the salts and other contaminants.
What is Single Stage Carbon Filteration?
Space-saving design uses filters to provide great tasting water. Carbon filtration systems reduce contaminants in the water you drink and use for cooking through high-volume carbon filters. You’ll enjoy your water without worrying about residue from contaminants such as lead or mercury.

Most of this can be conducted in a 10 - 15 min. on site evaluation!
