ALSO REMOVES OR REDUCES: Arsenic (>99%), MBAS (>96.67%), Nitrites (>95%), Selenium (>97.5%), Thallium (>99.5%), Rust, Silt, Sediment, Turbidity, Foul Taste and Odors

More Testing Highlights:

1) Bisphenol-A - Removed to greater than 99.9.

2) Chloramines - Removed to greater than 99.9%. With many water municipalities switching to chloramine disinfection instead of chlorine, there was a growing chorus of our customers wanting the answer to this question.

3) Pharmaceuticals - Removed to greater than 99.5%. This has been a hot button also. Many studies and articles have come out over the past 5 years showing how these pharmaceuticals are washing down our toilets and not being removed from our water supply by the local municipal filtration plant. The filters were tested for 17 different types of pharmaceuticals and they were all removed.

4) Petroleum Contaminants - Removed to greater than 99.9%. With the unfortunately too common event of oil spills and petroleum contamination of waterways and water sources, our filter removes these contaminants.

5) Methylcycohexane-methane - Removed to greater than 99.9%. This was the contaminant that was involved in the March 2014 West Virginia oil spill.

6) Coliform and e-Coli - Removed to greater than 99.9%.

Our powerful filtration elements will remove or reduce the following:
