Saluterra: For your home: Water filtration

For your home

Water filtration

Water is an essential part of our lives. We float in it before we’re born, and it composes most of our body. Drinking a sufficient amount of water is crucial in maintaining optimal health.

Tap water

If you have always thought that your tap water is pristine, think again. They put chlorine in it for a reason — but that only adds to the problem. Are you sure you want to ingest a chemical that scientists believe plays a major part in the destruction of the ozone layer?

All public water systems have some level of contamination. Regulations only require periodic testing for about 90 chemicals. There are now more than 75,000 chemicals used in our society, with over 1000 new ones being developed each year. Contaminant levels fluctuate throughout the year, making it impossible to know the actual level of contamination in a central water system. So far, over 2100 toxic chemicals have been detected in America’s water systems.

The Pure H2O Water Filtration System consists of several extremely efficient water treatment products that could solve the drinking water problem for you. PlusOne under-counter and counter-top kitchen filters effectively eliminate dozens of potentially harmful chemicals that are typically found in municipal water supplies.

Bottled water

Surprisingly, bottled water often contains even more contaminants than tap water, and the plastic bottles leach harmful chemicals when not stored properly. On top of that, bottled water production and consumption contribute to environmental pollution and global warming. Sadly, only about 10% bottles get recycled, and the amount of oil needed to produce the annual supply of bottled water in the U.S. would power 100,000 cars for a year.

The Pure H2O Sports Bottle filter eliminates contaminants just as effectively as the kitchen filters do. You can conveniently fill your bottle up at home, office, or a store, and know you’re safe. You could easily make it your cost-effective and environmentally friendly replacement for bottled water.

Shower

There are many health and cosmetic benefits to removing chemicals and compounds from shower water, even on non-chlorinated private wells. Virtually all ground water contains traces of some chemical or chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled.

In addition to filtering out contaminants, the Pure H2O Shower Filter helps balance the water’s pH, which is a very noticeable cosmetic benefit.
