Purification Process

Filtration System for High-Quality Water

10 stage water purification system

Pre-Treatment

Filters the water prior to the Reverse Osmosis Unit

STAGE 1

Granulated Charcoal Filter (Carbon) – Removes Chemical Contaminates like Chlorine

STAGE 2

Dual Alternating Water Softener – Removes Hardness minerals

STAGE 3

5 Micron Filter – Removes small sediment (your hair is 60 microns in diameter)

STAGE 4

Reverse Osmosis Membrane

STAGE 5

Storage Tanks

STAGE 6

Air Filtration - keeps airborne bacteria out of the purified water

STAGE 7

Re-pressurization System – to deliver the water to the customer’s bottles

POST TREATMENT

Extra Filtration to assure the best quality product possible (most stores do not have post treatment)

STAGE 8

20” Pleated Carbon Filter – Polishing the Water for Taste

STAGE 9

25 to 1 Dual Gradient Micron Filter – City of Phoenix requirement ( most stores do not have)

STAGE 10

Ultraviolet Light - water disinfection
