FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY
CARBON
Once sediment has been removed, water passes on to the carbon filter. It may be free of debris, but it is not yet pure. This water likely still contains liquid particles, including chemicals and traces of other contaminants. This filtration step utilizes carbon, which naturally attracts and binds to contaminants in both the air and water. This absorption process removes chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and more.
REVERSE OSMOSIS
At this stage, water is significantly cleaner than its tap source, but its quality can still be improved. The reverse osmosis system uses high pressure to force water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane with tiny pores. These pores only allow pure water to pass, as impurities are too large to pass through the membrane. Discharged water is then flushed away, as the clean water flows on to the next step.
POST CARBON
Purified water is polished in the post carbon filters, losing any remaining taste or scent. This is the final absorption stage of the filtration process, but we're not done yet.
ALKALINE
The alkaline filter reintroduces beneficial minerals and electrolytes back into purified water. Minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium raise the water's PH.
