Is activated carbon a safe method of filtration for drinking water?
Yes. Activated carbon filtration is widely recommended by the EPA and is commonly used in municipal water treatment plants for its effectiveness in removing contaminants and improving water quality.
My city water system tests fine at the source. Why should I worry?
Even though your municipal water tests safe at the treatment plant, water can pick up sediments, odors, and other contaminants as it travels through pipes to your home. A Puronics home water filtration system acts as a highly effective barrier against these pollutants, ensuring clean, great-tasting water right at your tap.
How does a Puronics water softening system remove hardness?
Puronics water softeners remove hardness through a process called ion exchange. Hardness-causing minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium carry a positive charge. As water flows through the system’s resin bed, which contains millions of negatively charged sites, these minerals attach to the resin and are effectively removed from your water.
Is financing available?
Yes we have multiples financing options such as 0 money down financing.
Can it really come at no additional cost to the monthly budget?
