Nature's Water Way

Many do not understand the concept behind most of what is being accomplished through water filtration. It is our attempt to return water to its more natural state.

When water is naturally healthy, it is the result of passing through natures cycles, we can begin at rainfall, but since it is a cycle, there really is no beginning or end. So water falls to the earth with very little mineral content, and very little bacteria. It passes through the earth picking up minerals along the way, and maybe some bacteria. Understand that moving water rarely contains bacteria, it is usually the result of standing water, such as stagnant pools. Since humans are in the business of collecting water for use at later times, it is this reason that bacteria becomes a problem. Natural springs rarely contain harmful bacteria because the water does not collect long enough to allow colonies to form.

In addition to the collection of certain minerals from the earth which actually make water healthy, the earth itself acts as a mineral filter for things that could be harmful, this is another reason that spring water is so sought after. It contains the minerals without the harmful bacteria. So the water first passes downward through the water table into underground rivers and lakes. At certain points these flowing rivers of fresh clean water bubble out of springs and into the lives of animals and other creatures. This is good, clean, healthy water. Then of course the water pools and can begin to collect too many minerals as well as harmful bacteria. So through evaporation the pooling water rises through the atmosphere toward cloud collectors in the sky, shedding heavy minerals and bacteria along the way. The process then repeats itself to infinity.

There are filtration systems which emulate, some or even all of these processes which make water healthy. It is essentially our job as water filter experts to find where your water has broken away from the natural course, in order to emulate that missing requirement, with one of our units. In the case of most cities, the municipality collects and stores water which is full of minerals and bacteria, then they treat that water with chemicals and pump it all around the city. Now, they have addressed the bacteria, but replaced it with chemicals that detract from waters health.

Fortunately it is relatively easy to remove those chemicals before they enter your home. The most common and most effective method is whole house filtration. Inside a good whole house filter you will find a water table. There are layers of media designed to emulate good rock beds which capture chemicals and other contaminates and hold onto them until the can be backwashed away from the home. (Backwashing occurs automatically on quality units.) The media vary from unit to unit, but most will contain acid washed coconut carbon, which effectively removes chlorine and other chemicals leaving a spring water flavor for the end user.

Remember, high quality filtration is merely the result of reproducing nature's methods. Since we demand so much water in such localized places, cities could not survive without treating water in massive ways. It is the city who gives us water that does not kill us immediately. It is the end user who must determine how healthy that water is over time.
