 Painting by Shawn P. McGrew WATER FROM ITS SOURCE TO YOUR TAP |
Water is the most common substance on earth. Water is everywhere. It's in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the ground below us, and in our oceans, rivers and lakes. Two thirds of the human body is made up of water.
Water is a universal solvent. Almost all substances can be dissolved in water or will remain suspended as they are carried by water.
Water covers 70 percent of the earth's surface. About 97 percent of earth's water is in the oceans. Only three percent is fresh (not salty), and two-thirds of the fresh water is locked in glaciers and ice caps.
Of the fresh water available for home and industrial water supply, only three percent exists in inland lakes and streams: 97 percent is underground water within one-half mile of the earth's surface.
The water treatment processes used in the water-quality improvement industry to cleanse and purify water are often the same techniques found in nature. Engineers simply copy and enhance them to be more effective and efficient.
Filtration is the natural treatment process that water goes through when moving into the ground and flowing to wells, springs or other sources of ground water. However, ground water can come into contact with contaminants from many natural sources.
Today, many people are seeking ways to improve the quality of the water they drink. One option has been the use of bottled water. However, in many areas, regulated standards for bottled water have not been firmly established and therefore, the quality of bottled water may fluctuate greatly.
Another option is to control the quality of domestic drinking water by using a water-filtration system at home. With a home water-filtration system, consumers can effectively reduce the chlorine in municipally-treated tap water right at the point of use-thus assuring a steady supply of freshly-filtered water upon demand.

PROBLEM SOLVED:
[The company's] water filtration system uses the latest technology to screen out solid particles such as sediment and rust. No expensive plumbing is necessary and the units are easy to clean.
