Today's Water Treatment Systems 02

Filtration SystemsAt Chicagoland Water Conditioning & Purification, we often use two methods to remove contaminants from water - mechanical filtration and reverse osmosis. Mechanical filtration systems remove contaminants by passing the water through a very fine screen. This screen removes chemical and sediment particles, even very tiny ones, to produce better tasting, better smelling and more healthful drinking water. While different contaminants are present in the water in different parts of the country, nearly everyone can benefit from a water filtration system. Most water filtration systems effectively remove three of the most dangerous contaminants in water - lead, chlorine and bacteria. Purification SystemsWater purification systems, on the other hand, take clean water to the next level. For those clients who want completely pure water, we use a reverse osmosis purification system.

A reverse osmosis purification system not only uses filtration, but also uses a semi-permeable membrane to eliminate even more contaminants. Originally developed by the U.S. Navy as a way to make sea water potable, reverse osmosis is the only way to remove sodium from water. Reverse osmosis also removes minerals from water. Water that has gone through a reverse osmosis purification process is almost completely stripped of foreign substances, just like distilled water. Benefits of Clean and Pure Drinking WaterThere are many benefits of having clean, pure drinking water. Filtering out bacteria can reduce your family's exposure to gastrointestinal diseases. Excessive lead in drinking water has been linked to brain damage, and problems with the kidneys, nervous system, and red blood cells. Pregnant individuals and young children are most at risk. By removing lead from your drinking water, you can protect your children from ingesting this known toxin.Chlorine is also associated with some very serious health effects.

Studies show that highly chlorinated drinking water may even increase your family's risk of some types of cancer. A water treatment system can virtually eliminate these harmful substances from your drinking water so that you can stay hydrated without worrying about any adverse effects. Finally, water treatment systems are much more economical to operate than buying bottled water. And they're much better for the environment as well. At Chicagoland, we focus on more than just water softening and filtration. Our water treatment systems are about optimizing water quality to improve the efficiency of your home, provide healthy drinking water and improve the life quality of your family.
