What's Not In Our Water?
We offer various levels of filtration depending on your specific needs. From tap water filtration to well-water remediation, we have an option for everyone! Our most common system is our PUR2o Alkaline Plus.
This system filters and purifies the water making it up to 99% clean of all Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Here is a list of the contaminants that can be found in water supplies and that our system can remove!

These filtration results are expected when the RO system is properly installed, and maintained as per directions. Results may vary depending on various factors including the water conditions of the incoming water, maintenance schedule etc. For more comprehensive treatment options that fit your needs, please contact us for a free water analysis and consultation. Most RO systems are not designed to treat unsafe or non-potable water without pre and/or post treatment.
*Please note: RO systems provide effective filtration for Arsenic 5 (AS5), however the filtration of Arsenic 3 (AS3) depends on the chlorination of your incoming, as Chlorination converts AS3 into AS5. Please use an arsenic speciation tests to be sure of the exact amounts, and if your water is not chlorinated.
**Nitrate removal is dependent on the water pressure within your system.
Our system uses many components that are NSF certified by themselves, and are FDA approved. As a whole system, our system is not NSF approved, only the individual parts from our suppliers.
