Water Filtering Systems

Many water filtering systems do not have much in the way of media inside them.  In addition, they suffer from low quality media.  Some companies skimp on using high quality media because it costs more.  The HealthyHome Solution water filter contains four types of the highest quality media available.

We use two types of coconut carbon as well as our other secret media.  (You have to call us in order to find out about the other media we use.  Some of it is proprietary so we do not name it directly here in case our competitors are watching. )  949-644-1800

Our media and the specific order in which it is placed within the water filter unit removes or reduces  chemicals, odors, bad tastes, chlorine, chloramines, organics, pesticides, and heavy metals.  We can reduce fluoride levels too but that takes special arrangements to work effectively.  Call us for the specifics on that.  949-644-1800.

Moreover, we use the proprietary catalytic converter to condition the water that is only available with our water filtration systems.  This unit will condition hard water differently than a traditional water softener does but it does not have the salt discharge that is getting water softeners banned across the country.  The HealthyHome Solution water filter is an alternative to standard water softeners that does not endanger the environment.  If you have environmental concerns, you should look into this green water filter system.


Pure Elements Water Filter Removes More Chloramines

There are two primary ways for cities in the US to treat tap water for organic contaminants.  They use either chlorine or chloramines to kill bacteria and make our water safe for drinking and bathing. While both methods effectively address bacteria in municipal water supplies, they are often considered health risks and create other issues your household water.

Chlorine loses its strength to kill bacteria over time because it binds with organic material. It also creates harmful by-products called Trihalomethanes, which are considered carcinogenic and environmental pollutants.  When ammonia is added to minimize Trihalomethane production, this dilutes the chlorine’s capacity to kill off bacteria.

According to the California-based Citizens Concerned about Chloramines, chloramines damage pipes, create skin conditions, kill lab rodents, and expose people to increased risks for cancer and asthma.

In most situations, you will be drinking and bathing in one of these chemical disinfectants.  In addition, if you choose one of the most common water filters on the market, you may not effectively remove chloramines. Most water filters that use standard carbon provide only partial protection. Chloramines are a challenge for regular carbons to remove.

At Pure Elements, we conquer chlorine and chloramines issues by using the highest grade of a special catalytic carbon. Our whole house water filter is superior to under-the-counter water filters and other home water filters because this special carbon efficiently removes more chloramines. We spare no expense when it comes to your safety, while our competitors cut corners to increase profits. The majority of water filter systems available today do not perform up to Pure Elements’ standards.  This is just one of many reasons our water systems are recognized as the most effective.

Water Softener Ban in California?

A movement to ban water softeners continues to grow in certain cities in California.  Rancho Cucamonga, Montclair, Fontana, Upland, Ontario, Chino, and Chino Hills are all looking to ban the installation of new salt-based water softeners, and considering offering cash rebates for the removal of existing systems.

Water in Southern California has been challenging for many people.  The tap water tends to be hard (high in calcium) and causes scale damage and buildup, and does not taste good.  Residential water softeners help reduce the calcium, but create a need to remove the salt with a secondary point of use purified drinking water system.  Water softeners help reduce the use of detergent in the laundry and water heaters can use up to 25% less energy when connected to these systems, which can provide a notable savings.  (However, those benefits are now available using salt-free, environmentally sound technology in whole-house water systems like the HealthyHome Solution by Pure Elements.)

There appears to be a significant cost to the environment using the old-fashioned salt-based water softeners.  All the salt that you pour into a softener is discharged into the sewer system and environment.  In this particular instance, the salt discharges into the Chino groundwater basin.  The basin runs underneath the ground and therefore it cannot be seen.  However, the Inland Empire Utilities Agency says the salt is polluting the groundwater, which is the main source of water for this area.  They are now offering up to $2,000 in cash to residents to stop using salt-based water softeners.

This issue is not just affecting California – It is a domestic and worldwide problem.  Europe and Australia are dealing with this as well, and their solution has been to embrace salt-free technology.  Water conditioning, rather than salt softening, is proving to be the best choice.

Culligan does not believe that the education of the public and the bans will significantly hurt their business.  They believe the benefits of the salt-based softeners will outweigh the environmental concerns, and people will continue to use salt-based water softeners at the expense of the environment.  Are they kidding?  It sounds like the same attitude BP Oil seems to have..?

What would you do?  Would you keep the old water softener and continued to pump salt into the environment?  Why not take the $2,000 and invest in a new salt free water conditioning filter that addressed the same issues as the water softener, with other added benefits such as great tasting drinking water and chemical free bathing?


Banning Salt-Based Water Softeners

Here is another article about local government trying to protect their local water supply from the damage caused by salt discharged from water softeners. The Inland Empire Utilities Agency in California is moving toward a ban on salt-based softeners, and offering rebates for people to disconnect and remove existing water softeners.

The agency is working hard to implement new laws banning salt-based water softeners, and to continue rebate incentives for current water softener owners who switch to new salt-free technologies. If the water agency is successful, they could save millions of dollars because they will not have to install salt removal technology at the sewage plant. This is the same premise behind the softener bans in Santa Clarita.  Ultimately, taxpayers are burdened with the added costs of plant upgrades…

Most water softeners use approximately 30 pounds of salt each month. The salt discharged from these softeners contributes to roughly 10% of the salt found in the sewage treatment system. Local governments trying to recycle the water experience great difficulties with the salt content in the water. The recycling water systems will not work correctly if the salt content is too high, and reuse for irrigation, crops and other reclaimed water needs becomes impossible.  Of course, this does not even touch on the problems the excess salt causes the environment.

There is still much opposition to the outlawing of salt-based water softeners. Opponents like Culligan say that without the softeners, consumers use more detergent and waste more energy. Water softener champions say that salt-laden soft water allows for a more chemical free household.

At Pure Elements, we know that viable salt-free alternatives can also greatly reduce the use of soaps and detergents, as our systems have proven successful for over 30 years. And our HealthyHome Solution system is environmentally friendly by reducing the requirement for water and fertilizers for plant life. Therefore, big water softener manufacturers and the salt industry are spewing out a lot of misinformation. We think it is very unfortunate that large corporations put a spin on the truth, confuse the people, and harm Mother Nature in order to make a buck.

Come on, people – The technology is here and you can easily make the right choice for your family, your home and our environment.  Our clients do every day.

Water Softners Bannedwhite-spacerFinished-tank

Outdated wrong choice for home water treatment.                                                        The Right choice – Pure Elements filter.


Home Water Purification – Pure Elements Solution

This is the Healthy Home Solution home water purification system by Pure Elements, Inc. A whole house water filtration solution like this one is much easier to maintain because it is nearly maintenance-free. The filter media high quality filter media inside the purifier only needs replacing once every 8 to 10 years. This makes it an “out of sight and out of mind” option. Therefore, we believe it to be much easier than the point of use and under the sink, water filters. Those filters need to be changed out for a new filter once every 3 months or so because they are so small. Moreover, they do not clean their own media like the Pure Elements home water filter does. This is a key feature that very few water filters have.

This home water purifier efficiently removes or reduces chemicals, odors and bad tastes from your home drinking and shower water. The usual cast of bad characters found in most of today’s municipal water supplies such as chloramines, chlorine, organics, pesticides, and heavy metals are removed or significantly reduced.

In addition, what is also special about this home water treatment unit is it reduces hard water issues without the use of a 30-pound bag of salt each month. The Healthy Home Solution does not use any salt but instead conditions the water using other means rather than chemical. (See our video about our proprietary catalytic converter.) It is an entirely green and environmentally sound approach to water purification. No salt is dumped into the sewer system endangering the environment and water recycling facilities.

This whole house water purification unit is beneficial because it takes care of all your needs for the entire home. You do not have to put a water filter under every sink and a shower filter on every shower. It is all taken care of from one source right where the water comes in to your home.


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.
