Clear Water Doesn’t Always Mean Clean Water. We Fix That.

Microorganisms

E. Coli

Indicates fecal contamination in water and can cause severe gastrointestinal illness if ingested.

B. Subtilis

Forms resilient spores that survive harsh conditions, making contaminated water difficult to disinfect without proper treatment.

Cryptosporidium

Chlorine-resistant parasite that can cause severe, prolonged diarrhea when present in drinking water.

Legionella

Thrives in warm water systems and can cause life-threatening pneumonia when inhaled through contaminated mist.

Giardia lamblia

Microscopic parasite that causes “giardiasis,” leading to stomach cramps, nausea, and unsafe drinking water conditions.

FAQ

How long do the filters last and what maintenance does the system require?
