It does this by absorption: pollutant molecules in the fluid to be treated are trapped inside the pore structure [...]

For example, some minerals that are found in the TDS of water are calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, etc. TDS typically has a direct correlation of harness of the water; the higher the TDS the [...]

A Review or Not A Review…. that is the question?

Please note that we have nothing to gain and have never had legitimate complaints on our company or staff; but when we are posed with a demand for money or our record could be damaged, it is unacceptable and should be exposed for all to see.  Over the years, review sites have popped up on virtually every computer/mobile [...]
