Chromium…

California continues to set the tone for the nation when it comes to regulating water quality – last week, it became the first state in the U.S. to introduce a standard for hexavalent chromium, or chromium-6. The California Department of Public Health (CPDH) currently only sets a limit on total chromium, which includes chromium-3, a required nutrient, and chromium-6, its potentially carcinogenic counterpart. CPDH’s maximum contaminant level (MCL) for total chromium is 50 ppb – already much lower than the [...]

Water Softeners and the environmentally conscience consumer..

Salt. Today, some view it as the industry’s dirty, four-letter word. Used for decades in water treatment, the Water Quality Association (WQA), in its Glossary of Terms, defines salt in the following ways: (chemistry) A chemical compound formed by the neutralization of an acid with a base; (water treatment) sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCl), both of which are used in solution form to regenerate cation exchange water softeners and some dealkalizers.While salt in water treatment equipment, especially [...]

Electronic Hard Water Treatment

The One Water Systems WT-5 Amp Force Calcium Control unit solves the problems associated with "hard water" electronically, instead of the chemical processes used by water softeners and without the need for adding salt (sodium or potassium chloride). By using electronic impulses the WT-5 de-crystallizes the hard water minerals, calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate. Not only does this PREVENT mineral build-up in your home's plumbing but it will actually REDUCE any existing build up in your pipes.Stop putting unnecessary [...]

Filtered vs. Purified? What you need to know…

Filtered Drinking Water vs Purified WaterWater filters that use filtration methods such as adsorption, carbon, activated carbon, kinetic degradation fluxion (KDF), and particulate filtration produce filtered drinking water.Water systems that use purification methods such as reverse osmosis (R.O.), distillation, ozone, and ultraviolet produce purified water.One important reason is that numerous studies have shown that mineral-rich drinking water is the healthiest. Both reverse osmosis water and distilled water are de-mineralized.The World Health Organization (WHO) published a study on drinking water [...]
