Pure Elements – Water Softener and Water Filter Upgrading

Pure Elements specializes in rebuilding, servicing, converting water softeners and whole house water filter upgrading of filters by LifeSource, Aquasana, EWS, Water by Design, Bottle-Free Water Company, Water Techniques, Crystal Clear, Kinetico, Pelican, Equinox, Culligan and all other automatic whole house filtration.  All of these water filter brands can be upgraded to remove or reduce more contaminants and impurities than they do currently through proper servicing and renovation.  Pure Elements uses the newest water filter technology incorporated in the Pure Elements’ HealthyHome Solution water filter to bring these tired filters up to high standards.  The old expired and outdated filters are converted to the HealthyHome Solution for vastly improved results in water purification.

For example in a normal water softener conversion, we take the existing Culligan or Water Techniques water softener and turn these into new environmentally sound whole house water filters.  Now instead of “softening” the water using salt we use organic or more natural water filtering methods to “condition” the water to get better results.  By using our own proprietary Catalytic Conditioner our clients feel good about making this choice to convert their old softeners over.  They now own a “green” water filter system and do not have to buy 50lbs of salt frequently.  No more salt is washed into the environment and left to pollute local wetlands.  Our clients save money on maintenance too.  In addition, they save even more money because by performing a softener or old water filter conversion, we use their existing water softening system’s components.  It is very easy and fast to complete.

In the case of a competitor’s water filter conversion, we take apart the outdated filter and remove all the expired media.  Often inside there will be other components that do not seem to work or restrict water flow so we remove these mystery elements as well.  All the parts and components are checked to see they are functioning properly and there are no cracks or stripped threads.  Our installation crew often find improperly seated control values or water systems so badly assembled they ceased to work properly years ago.  The next step in the process is to refill the filter tank with the right amounts of new water filter media.  Our media is the most technologically advanced in removal of chemicals and reduction of hard water that homeowners have access to.  Pure Elements uses only environmentally safe methods.  Moreover, we have a specific order in which the four types of media are aligned within the new rebuilt filter.  This is very important and has been scientifically engineered to work optimally.  Our competitors do not bother to do this but we think they should.  This proper sequencing of the media affords our clients maximum benefit over the next 7 to 10 years.

Pure Elements is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in this conversion procedure.  Maintaining our meticulous attention to detail is important to us and affords our clients better water filtering results.

Presently we carry out numerous water softener conversions and water filter upgrading throughout Southern California.

All the big counties like Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego County are covered.  As people become more enlightened, they realize they do not need to pay yearly maintenance fees to other water filter companies when they can convert to our water filtration systems inexpensively.  Pure Elements’ water filters need servicing only every 7 to 10 years depending on your water usage.

Water Filter Conversions – Old Water Filtration Systems Upgraded

At Pure Elements, a large segment of our business is water filter conversions.

We convert outdated water filtration systems into our exclusive HealthyHome Solution Whole House Water Filter System.  This is allowing our clients to enjoy the finest water quality in their homes, without having to drain the checkbooks.

During water filter conversions, we disassemble the old system; remove all of the stagnant media and any other apparatus that may be inside.  We then clean the tank, and rebuild the system with the latest technology for effective removal of chemicals and reduction of hard water (using our salt free and eco-friendly, of course).

During re-assembly, it is critical to load the four types of media and our proprietary Catalytic Conditioner in the proper order to insure maximum performance from the whole house filter system.  Reusing the control valve, tank, and other hardware allows you to enjoy high-quality water and a virtually new system for a fraction of the cost of replacing the old unit.  We are highly experienced in this conversion process.

We are performing many water filter conversions throughout Southern California as more clients realize they are over paying for yearly maintenance fees when they don’t need to.

In addition, we are installing more and more of our state of the art systems in exclusive southern California areas including Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County.  The greatest demand is showing in Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, and San Clemente.

Saltless Water Conditioner Comparison

This is a Saltless Water Conditioner Comparison and conversion.

We recently converted and upgraded a competitor’s system to our HealthyHome Solution, and we pulled out this unique contraption that was supposedly meant to reduce hard water scale buildup.

Water Filter Conditioner Comparison Conversion

We immediately noticed this green growth on the exterior of one of the components, which is directly in the water flow to the home.  We can’t explain the growth on the component, but it appears to be copper related and this is scary.

Competitor's water conditionerBad copper build-up on water conditionerTwo separated halves of competitor's water conditioner

Oddly enough, the other component shows none of this growth.  We decided to open these components  to see what is inside – Some type of plug or small core inside a copper wire netting.  Very little surface are on the plug.

Mysterious water conditioner plugMysterious water conditioner plugPitted water conditioner plug - water runs through this and you drink that water.

This what it looks like up close.  When we pulled the second plug from it’s netting, we noted substantial pitting.  These pits mean that the mystery plug is sacrificial and the missing material has been introduced directly into the household water.

Saltless Water Conditioner Saltless Water Conditioner for inside tank

Our own proprietary catalytic conditioner utilizes a core with fins and a very large surface area to effectively change the state of the hard water minerals and reduce the problems they create.  This produce is not sacrificial – this is the outside total property version – we also have the version that is built into our Healthy Home whole-house filter system which is without metal housings or components and provides a much higher flow rate when compared to our competitor’s small copper pipes.

Rusted water conditioner fittingsRust in your home water because of this water conditioner

We also noted what appears to be iron or rust coming off of the brass fittings, as was evidenced by its presence on the fittings and inside the drain line.  This rust has been traveling into the household as well, which is not good for a system that is supposed to provide protection from contaminants and a cleaner water than is coming from the municipality.  We believe our proprietary conditioner is vastly superior because it is not sacrificial, has 100s of times the surface area of these plugs, has a non-metallic body when used inside our whole house filter, and provides dramatically higher flow rates with much less restriction. And it’s performance in reducing hard water issues has been well proven since we developed it and first made it available through all of the major local tract builders in 1982.


Water Softener Conversion to Whole House Water Filter in La Verne Heights

I went to a water softener conversion to a whole house water filter today in La Verne Heights, California.  RD Allen and his installer, Nick, took an old water softener that was converted into a whole home water filter by another company.  The other company, which will remain unnamed, did a semi-lackluster job of setting the unit up it turns out.  Rick and Nick turned the unit into a full-fledged Healthy Home Solution water filter by cleaning the tank out and replacing it’s insides with top-notch media and some proprietary parts.  The client was very pleased.

It turned out that the previous install was so improperly done that the system wasn’t even working right.  Part of the problem was the outtake tube was broken at the top.  The previous company hadn’t bothered to fit the tube correctly.   It was a quarter inch too high.  Guess they didn’t care enough to do it right.  Plus the water filter was also back flushing once every 30 days which is not efficient or effective.
