What Makes the PureH2O™ Countertop Water Filter Unique?

The PureH2O Water Filtration System features an exclusive dual-filter system that installs in seconds and uses a combination of carbon filtration, ion exchange and sub-micron filtration to produce truly healthy, great-tasting water from your kitchen tap. Using the latest two-stage water filtration technology, the PureH2O Water Filtration System filters out a wider range of contaminants than other filters. The first cartridge filters out sediment, tiny microscopic particles, and chlorine taste and odor. The second cartridge features a complex ion exchange process that enhances the mineral balance of water while reducing the lead. The PureH2O Water Filtration System also helps maintain healthy pH levels.
 
Many Municipal water supplies cannot completely filter out all chemical contaminants. In fact, some chlorine taste and odor stays in after processing and ends up in the tap water you drink. PureH2O Countertop Water Filter virtually eliminates the chlorine taste and bad odors, greatly improving the quality and clarity of your tap water. PureH2O™, Because it’s your water!

• Maximum Flow Rate: 1.89 Lpm
• Rated Capacity of Filter Cartridge: 1892 Litres
  
  

IMPORTANT: Do not use where water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality.

Frequently Asked Questions About PureH2O™ Countertop Water Filter System:

Is bottled water or filtered water better? 
While much bottled water is of good quality, there are little or no regulations or means of ensuring bottled water quality; it is a self-policed industry for the most part. In contrast, the home water treatment industry is very heavily regulated. Manufacturers must do extensive testing and reporting to prove their products effectiveness at providing quality water.  

What is TDS?
Total Dissolved Solids, the total measurement by weight of all solids that are dissolved in water. The dissolved solids in water are primarily calcium and magnesium and would not be a measurement of contamination. Tests which measure the conductivity of water (often used by companies selling reverse osmosis and distillation system) only give a rough estimate of dissolved solids, mostly minerals, and do not show water quality. Implying that these tests show water quality is highly misleading and should be considered unethical.

Is chlorine harmful?
Chlorine was first added to a community water system in 1908 in Chicago and was instrumental in eliminating many types of water-borne disease such as cholera and typhoid fever. Prior to chlorination, many major cities had death tolls of 1 in 1000 people from typhoid alone. Chlorine has been used to disinfect municipal water for over 80 years and has had some positive effects on public health. In the 1970s, it was discovered that chlorine, when added to water, forms trihalomethanes (chlorinated by-products) by combining with certain naturally-occurring organic matter such as vegetation and algae. Most experts now agree that there are some significant risks related to consuming chlorine and chlorinated by-products in drinking water.

Why do some areas test negative for chlorine? 
Virtually all city water systems contain some level of chlorine. The level will vary based on outdoor temperature, the season, distance from water utility and current usage. While chlorine may sometimes be undetectable on a certain day with a standard OTO test kit, that level can change dramatically day to day. Also some cities use ammonia at certain times as a disinfectant in order to reduce chlorination by products. Without chlorine the dangers of water borne disease would be too significant. An undetectable chlorine level, on a certain day, does not eliminate the need for an effective home filtration system.

What are VOCs?
Volatile Organic Chemicals are synthetic compounds that turn into vapor at relatively low temperatures. VOCs typically vaporise at a much lower temperature than water. Most synthetic chemicals found in water, such as pesticides and herbicides, are VOCs.

What is the best container for storing filtered water? 
Glass is always best; however if glass is not practical, then a high grade polycarbonate material is best. Clear plastic bottles and pitchers with a #1 in the recycle triangle on the bottom, like the bottles used by Evian and the higher quality bottled waters, are the best option for water storage since they have been shown to release the lowest levels of plastic component chemicals into water. Translucent, coloured or bottles with a number other than 1 on the bottom should be avoided because there is the possibility of higher levels of chemicals leeching into the water from the plastic.

Are whole house systems (P.O.E. - point-of-entry) better than counter-top filters (P.O.U. - point-of-use)?
P.O.U. systems are by far the best way to ensure the highest quality water since many water-borne contaminants come from the plumbing in your house, especially lead and vinyl chloride from the piping. By filtering water at the point-of-use, you remove contaminants just prior to consumption, eliminating the chance of recontamination. Point-of-entry systems offer certain benefits but do not replace the benefits of point-of-use filtration.

Are some people more sensitive to chemicals in drinking water than others?
Definitely, small children and the elderly are especially more affected by contaminants in water due to a reduced capacity to deal with toxins and an under-developed or less tolerant immune system.
