Purified water may originate from either a spring, surface or groundwater source, or directly from the tap. It simply doesn’t matter. Since the purification process is designed to remove virtually all types of impurities, the quality of the source water has little bearing on the quality of the final product. At ACTIVE H2O we purify our water extensively and literally remove more than 99.5% of all incoming impurities including viruses. A properly designed and functioning purification system will produce extremely high purity water every time, regardless of variations in the source water’s quality. This is not true of spring water, tap water, or filtered water. For this reason, purified water is viewed as the objective benchmark against which the purity of other waters is judged.
Purified water is often confused with filtered water. Many people believe the two terms to be synonymous, but this is not the case. While both types of water are subject to some sort of filtration (as is almost every spring water), purified water is cleansed and purified through additional purification processes, typically reverse osmosis, distillation, or deionization. The ensuing product, “purified” water, is of significantly higher purity than either spring water, tap water, or filtered water.
Hydration is a concern for everyone, which means having a healthy and reliable water source is key. ACTIVE H2O offers a reliable source of purified water using our advanced 11 step reverse osmosis technology that removes chemicals, contaminants, viruses, and other impurities that are often still found in tap water. The end result is fresh, pure, great-tasting, and healthy water for you and your family to enjoy without the concerns of unhealthy contaminants!
STEP 1: AG Pre-Filtration – cartridge type, removes particulate matter down to 20 microns.
STEP 2: Carbon – an activated carbon cartridge filter that removes chlorine, chloramine, solvents, lead, insecticides, gasses, and other harmful contaminants. Works as a water softener, without the use of salt and drawing hardness particles together and crystallizing them. Includes an automatic backwashing system.
STEP 3: 5 Micron Pre-Filter – removes particles, sediments, and algae.
STEP 4: R.O. Pump – High pressure, stainless steel pump to boost water pressure to 160lbs. for maximum membrane efficiency.
STEP 5: Reverse Osmosis Membrane – water is forced through a semi-permeable, .0002 micron membrane, allowing only pure water molecules to pass.
STEP 6: Storage – water is stored in FDA approved tanks.
STEP 7: Repressure System – 12 GPM pressure pump assures constant water supply from storage tanks to post-carbon filter, ultraviolet sterilizer, and faucets.
STEP 8: Pressure Tank – 32-gallon pressure tank assures a constant flow of water to the filler.
STEP 9: Post Carbon Filtration – water travels through a 4.5in x 20in coconut shell carbon block filter, polishing it for an exceptionally smooth taste.
STEP 10: Ultraviolet Sterilizer – stainless steel sterilizer eliminates up to 99.9% of all bacteria.
STEP 11: Ozone is be added to water storage tanks to prevent future bacterial growth.
