Make an Educated Decision

 

 

n  Have your water tested for hardness, chlorine content, dissolved solids and any applicable contaminants.

n  What are you trying to achieve through water treatment?

n  Discuss where you would like to have the system installed and where it can be installed.

n  Read and question the warranty; is it limited and who actually provides the warranty?

n  What service is required for maintaining the system, what is the estimated cost and who will be servicing the system?

n  What form of salt are you going to use as a softening agent –  Sodium Chloride or Potassium Chloride?

n  Who is the company you’ve chosen?  Check with the Better Business Bureau for company longevity and complaints.

 

 

Did You Know….

 

That the Florida peninsula is actually the emerging portion of a tectonic platform called the Florida Plateau.


Rainwater percolates down through the limestone bedrock of the Plateau and moves through the aquifer as groundwater. Because the Florida Plateau is comprised of limestone (calcium, magnesium and manganese), it creates an extreme condition for the groundwater to be contained within, thus creating hard water.

 

 

Softening the Water…

 

You must remove lime and calcium by creating an Ion-Exchange with resin and chloride.  This is the only proven softening method.  Hardness can be reduced through Reverse Osmosis.

 

 

Did You Know…

 

 No system is salt-free since the delivery of chloride must be done by using either sodium chloride (rock salt) or potassium chloride (Mrs. Dash).

 

Every Municipality, County or City treats the water differently by using either Chlorine, Chloramines (combination of chlorine & ammonia) and/or Fluoride.  Nowhere is the water softened.

 

The Complete removal of Chloramines can only be achieved with a minimum of 2.5 cubic feet of activated carbon (i.e.: Centaur or Catalytic).

 

 

Fluoride in Your Water…

 

The EPA has set a maximum amount of fluoride allowable in drinking water of 4.0 milligrams per liter of water (4.0 mg/L).

 

 

Did You Know…

 

Small amounts of fluoride help prevent tooth decay, but high levels can harm your health. In adults, exposure to high levels of fluoride can result in denser bones.

 

However, if exposure is high enough, the bones may become more fragile and brittle and therefore, there may be a greater risk of bone breakage.

 

 

Reverse Osmosis…


The only form of water purification comes from Reverse Osmosis or hyper-filtration. It uses a thin film membrane to remove particles as small as ions from the water.

 

Reverse Osmosis is capable of rejecting bacteria, salts, gases such as fluoride and radium, and other various dissolved solids.


By testing the water and by asking questions our units can be adjusted to restrict the amount of contaminants coming into your home and can be sized to perform correctly.

 

By educating yourself about the water, the various ways to treat the water and the companies who supply equipment for the water. . .
