Whole House Water Filtration System – Unique

HealthyHome Solutions’ whole house water filtration system is unique.  Not only does it remove all the chemicals, odors, tastes, chloramines, pesticides, and organics but it also uses a proprietary version of a salt free water-conditioning product.  Nobody else on the market has this conditioning product.  Moreover, we have had this water-conditioning converter for about 30 years now.  It has proven to be an exceptional alternative to traditional water softeners.  It is completely environmentally green.  No salts are deposited in sewer drains and then into the ocean, landscapes or anywhere else from this water filter.  There is no salt!  You can use the back washed water and safely irrigate your landscape if you would like.  Plus, you do not get the slimy or slippery feeling that you get from water that is using a traditional water softener.  This whole house water filter is very effective at protecting your fixtures, plumbing, and appliances too.  It just helps reduce hard water issues in general.

This is a fully automatic water filter system.  One of our most important features to this filter is that it back washes itself, which keeps the tank clean.  There is never a problem with stagnant water with this tank or what is known as media channeling.  These are not issues because the media is back washed. This eliminates channeling and exposes more surface area of the media because it is moved around.

In addition, because of this automatic back washing, you will not have to service the filter for at least 7 to 10 years.  There are no under counter filters to change.  There are no point of use problems to solve like leaky or clogged hoses. You get the benefits and solutions on a total property or whole house basis.

Another key point is the unique media, which is inside this water filtration system.  Some of the media is more proprietary and other media used is common.  However, the big secret is the method in which the media layers within the tank.  It is the order of how the water “sees” the media.  It is critical for proper removal of contaminants the water sees the media in the right order.  This order makes a huge difference and yet our competitors do not know about it or do not use it.   It makes all the difference in how effective the water filter works.

This media order is another of Pure Elements’ secrets and another reason why we have a superior product.  We have taken the time from an engineering standpoint to make sure that our whole house water filtration system functions at the very highest standards.


Water Conditioning Systems – Differ From Water Softeners

Water conditioning systems are different then salt-based water softeners.  They use a different technology which in involves the use of a catalytic converter.  They do not use salt as traditional softeners do.  This is why water conditioners are better for you and the environment.

Pure Elements, Inc.  uses a proprietary catalytic converter that no one else has.  This unit deals with hard water issues very effectively without the use of salt.

The video above shows the whole home water filter version of the catalytic converter.

The key to the product is the proprietary core.  The core has fins which increase the surface area so the state of calcium carbonate can be changed more readily.  This core permanently changes the state of the hard water.  It reduces the scaling properties and reduces the hard water issues in the home.  It also helps with issues concerning landscaping, water features, spas, and swimming pools.

If you would like to know more details about this proprietary hard water conditioning system, please call us.  Again, no one else on the market has this proprietary converter.  Some competitors will claim they have something but it is not like all our’s at all.  In fact, in a future video we will dissect one of our competitors so called converters so you can judge for yourself whether you think it is a viable technology merely advertising hype.  We stand firmly by our technology and have for 30 years.

Chlorine Dangers – Best Shower Water Filters

Get one of the best shower water filters to protect you and your family from chlorine in your home.

There are major health concerns relating to chlorine in your bath and shower water. When you take a bath or shower, the heated temperature of the water leaves the pores in your skin wide open. Your body literally absorbs chlorine like a giant sponge.

Chlorine in your shower water

Chlorine in your shower water is absorbed into your skin and lungs.

In addition, the chlorine is released into the air through steam, forcing it into your body through respiration and your lungs. Both of these pathways are direct entrances to the blood, without the additional filtration provided through your esophagus and digestive system. The chlorine is driven directly into the body at much higher levels than if you were to consume water with the same chlorine level. It is extremely important and greatly beneficial to you and your family’s wellness to remove the chlorine before you even enter your bath or shower. Shower head filters only provide limited protection – The rapid flow rates of the shower and the limited amount of media result in partial chemical removal and a very short life (this means you spend lots of money to maintain a moderate result).

Typical shower head filter

Typical shower head filter must be replaced often or it becomes ineffective.

A whole home water filter and conditioning system is the most maintenance free and environmentally responsible solution to chlorine removal from your living environment. The Healthy home Solution from Pure Elements is the best shower water filter and water filtration system available today for the consumer.

Home Water Filter System Requires Little Maintenance

What is the maintenance required on a home water filter system like the Healthy Home Solution?

As long as you have a high quality water filtration and conditioning system like the Healthy Home Solution
by Pure Elements, Inc., which does not use any salt or chemicals in its water conditioning process, your
maintenance interval is between five and ten years under normal conditions.

By contrast, a basic cartridge water filter or something more complicated like a reverse osmosis drinking
water system under each counter requires maintenance at least every year, if not every six months. These home
water filter systems require regular filter changes or they can be rendered ineffective (or even worse – they
can actually contaminate the drinking water if not properly maintained). And every time you open a filter
cartridge, you risk bacterial contamination. The Healthy Home Solution eliminates the need for frequent maintenance,
and the ongoing costs resulting from it.

 

Water Filters like these need constant replacing because they are so small.

Water Filters like these need constant replacing because they are so small.

When you simplify water filtration and conditioning using a whole house approach, you dramatically reduce your
maintenance costs and eliminate the headaches associated with point of use drinking water systems at each sink or faucet.
If you do the math, a quality whole house water filter will provide you with exceptional water quality for less than a
penny per gallon from every faucet and fixture, which is much less expensive when compared to the point of use systems or buying bottled water.

How long do whole house water treatment systems last?

One of the questions we get quite often is, “What is the expected life of a high-quality whole house water filtration and conditioning system?”

The hardware on a quality products like whole house water treatment systems should last up to about 25 years. The water filter media and other things on the inside, if they are state-of-the-art, should only need attention every 5 to 10 years.

This is a water filtration system that you purchase once, and in essence you service it approximately once per decade to bring it back to an as-new operating condition.


Whole House Water Conditioner vs Obsolete Water Softeners

What are the reasons to buy a new type of whole house water conditioner and not a traditional salt-based water softener?  Why is there a substantial movement to get away from old-fashioned ion exchange water softening systems?

The answers are quite simple:

1) Old-fashioned water softeners use salt and add chlorides to the environment, adversely affecting us all and increasing treatment costs.

2)  New technologies exist that address the same issues as the old-fashioned water softeners, but without the use of salt or other chemicals.  These new technologies do not put salt and chlorides into the eco-system, helping to protect our environment.

3)  Many consumers do not like the “slimy feeling” that traditional softeners create when they soften the water.  These old systems make it feel like you can’t rinse shampoo out of your hair or wash the soap
off your body.  Terrycloth towels end up feeling too soft and unnatural.  Many people find these slippery and slimy characteristics extremely annoying.

4)  With a traditional home water softener system you are required to monitor, purchase and dump heavy bags of salt into the system as needed.

There doesn’t seem to be much point in buying an antiquated and problem-causing water softener when you can own an environmentally friendly (Green) water filtration and conditioning system utilizing new technology to addresses the same issues and do even more.  And the state of the art systems require no regular maintenance or adding of cumbersome, costly salt pellets.


Water Filtration Filters and Conditioning System – No Slimy Feeling Like With Water Softening Systems

Will I get slippery-slimy feeling water from using Whole  House Water Filtration Filters and a Conditioning System as I do now with my water softener?

A lot people wonder if they use today’s new salt-free technologies to address hard water issues, will the water still have that slippery-slimy feel that is common with salt-based water softening systems.  And the answer to that question is “NO.”

We have technologies today that reduce the hard water issues in your home without introducing sodium or other salts.   Therefore we do not suffer from what RD Allen calls, “A set of man-made characteristics” that come from the old-fashioned traditional water softeners.

No slippery, slimy or oily feeling.  The soap and shampoo rinses completely off, and you feel fresh and clean when you get out of the shower.  That is what you get with a high-quality water filter and conditioning system like the Healthy Home Solution.


Best water filters have these 6 features

What are the features of the Healthy Home Solution whole house water filter and conditioning system?

The features included in our water filter are many but there are six primary features to this product. 

1)  Health – We want to remove all the chemicals, odors, and physical things from your entire living environment.  And thereby provide home wellness for you and your family.

2) Taste and Quality – We want Great quality water coming from every faucet for drinking, cooking, coffee making.  We want it to be in every case possible to be as good as or better than the bottled waters out there.

3) Environmental Aspects – This product has been designed to be completely “GREEN.”  We do not add any chemicals to the eco-system.  The product is energy efficient with regards to both electricity and water usage.  It is a very efficient product.

4) Hard Water Issues – We can toss out the old traditional water softeners that add the sodium and chlorine to our environment and are being banned all over many communities across the United States.  Use technologies that will reduce the hard water in your house without the slippery or slimy feel and the addition of salt or chemicals.

5) Economics – This system will save you money in the long term because not only will it protect the assets of the appliances and plumbing in your house but it will greatly reduce if not eliminate your reliance on bottled water.  And cost just pennies per gallon for the water that you would use in an unlimited manner in your home.

6) Convenience – This is a set it and forget it system.  There are no under counter filters to change.  No ongoing maintenance costs on a regular basis.  No cartridges going into the eco-system or landfills.  It is a product you install and you address and give it attention somewhere in the 5 to 10 year range.

Those are the features and benefits that make the Healthy Home Solution water filtration system far superior to anything else we see on the market today.


Better Than a Cartridge Water Filter – Whole House Water Filtration – Media Lasts Longer

Why is whole house water filtration better than a cartridge water filter system?  Why does the media last much longer than the average water filter?  And why does any high-quality whole house water filtration system require a drain?

All of these questions can be addressed in one answer.

Specifically, we want our product to clean and refresh itself on a regular basis.  Usually every seven days is best.  We expose more surface area and therefore dramatically increase the life of the media.

This filter system is much better than standard whole house water filter cartridge systems because of the regular cleaning and restructuring of the media.  And in our product, the Healthy Home Solution, this is all done with an automatic back-washing feature which requires a connection to a drain. The water that drains out is clean water.  There are no chemicals added, nor does it introduce any sodium or chloride as is done by traditional water softeners.  This water can be directed to either the sewer, a landscape drain, or to reuse for irrigation and landscape watering.


Magnet Water Treatment verses Water Conditioning

How does the Healthy Home Solution water conditioner compare to magnet water treatment?

This is an important question. While we don’t want to knock the
magnets, there are some serious differences in the technology.

Magnet water treatment makes a temporary change in the polarity of the water. The key
word there is temporary. When the change is taking place, a magnet
will definitely reduce hard water issues. But if you don’t use the
water in the specific time allotted, it will actually revert back to
its original state and you will lose all the benefits. That puts a
lot of pressure on the home owner to use the water immediately after
it’s been through the magnet.

And anyone who does magnets properly in a home these days will not
just put one in but they will put one on the water main and one on the
inlet and one on the outlet of the water heater. Sometimes a magnet
will need to be put on dishwasher, on the shower head of each bath and
everywhere else the home owner wants to improve his water. The costs
become astronomical and the reason is they are trying to keep the
polarity consistent. You need a lot of magnets to keep that polarity in place so the
consumer can benefit from the magnets at all outlets.

On the other hand, our technology makes a permanent change in the
calcium carbonate. Once the water has been through our unit the
calcium carbonate has lost the majority of its attraction for itself
and metal and other types of surfaces. So it loses its ability to
bond and it is a permanent state and there are no worries in regards
to time frame in which the water must be used.

We think it is obvious this is a much easier and cheaper way to
eliminate the hard water issues in your home.
