Pure Elements – Whole House Water Filters

Question:  What is your name?

Answer:  Richard M. and I live in Mission Viejo, California.

Question:  How did you first come up with the idea of getting a water system?

Answer:  Well, my wife and I had actually just moved to the US.  We’d only been in the country like two or three weeks.  We went to the Long Beach Home Show and we just purchased a property that we were closing in escrow about a month later.  We were looking at all kinds of things but one of the things that caught our eye was a whole house water treatment system, which we were very keen on.

Question:  And after all the research you did, what made you go with Rick Allen and Pure Elements?

Answer:  Well, you know, I saw a lot of very expensive systems at the show.  A lot of high-pressure sales tactics and I really just liked the kind of integrity and sales approach that Rick brought to the equation.  His focus was really on the quality and benefits of the water treatment systems, the technology that he was offering and the health benefits that went along with it.  And he presented the whole package in a way that made you feel very comfortable with dealing with him.

Question:  So after you met him, then what happened when you talked to Rick?

Answer:  Well, we were living in one of those extended stay hotels at the time in Orange, California.  And we called Rick and Rick came round to see us and…  We did a little bit of negotiating going on and…  Rick offered us a good price in return for cash.  So I gave Rick a check for $3500.  After I’d given it and he said, “Okay, I’m going to go away and get you this water system and when you move it your house it will all be there and ready…”  And I must admit that once or twice after I’d given him the check after only being in the country for three weeks I thought…  I said to my wife, “Have we done the right thing?”  But we bought our house.  We moved in.  Rick was there.  The installation was flawless.  And since then he’s always been there to answer any questions that we had and we are very happy with our system.  The quality of the drinking water is just fabulous.  We have a whole house treatment system.  It breaks down the calcium that naturally occurs in the drinking water in Southern California.  The quality and health benefits, we are very impressed with.

Question:  And to this day how is your relationship with Rick and how long has it been since that first time…?

Answer:  Ah, Rick and I’ve had laughs for the last nine years.  We talk to each other at least a couple times a year.  Rick has always been there for service advice or whatever.  His customer service is just exemplary.

Question:  Would you trust Rick as a referral to one of your other friends or family members?

Answer:  Oh, absolutely.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Rick’s Pure Elements services to either a friend or family member or even just a member of the public.  Rick is very knowledgeable.  Very trustworthy.  And his service is just great.

Question:  Now having good water, what has been your favorite thing between you and your wife by having this system?

Answer:  Well I just think it’s the ability to go to the tap on your sink and drink pure water.  No contaminants.  No chlorine taste or smell.  In fact, when you go into a restaurant and often an expensive restaurant, and they serve you up a chlorinated water, it is just awful.  I mean you just don’t want to drink it.  So, we live in a very harsh water environment, and coming from New Zealand, we are used to pure water without even having to put a whole house treatment system in place.  But in Southern California we have a very harsh water environment.  And I think that if you care about your family and your health and the quality of the water you drink, everyone should have a whole house water treatment system and a reverse osmosis under their sink for personal drinking water.  And I think the environmental benefits I’d have to say are much better than buying bottled water and plastic bottles, which all end up in the land fill systems or most of them do.  You know, I think you are doing yourself a favor and the environment as well.

Question:  After 9 years have you had any issues or problems with your system?

Answer:  No his systems work flawlessly.  And whenever we’ve had a service issue or a question we call Rick and he is there.  So no problems.

Question:  Well, thank you very much for answering these questions.  And I’m glad we could help another satisfied customer.
Answer:  Thank you very much.  It’s been terrific.

Quality whole-house water filtration is a good way to eliminate all the waste created by the production of bottled water.

Bottled water has many negative effects on environment, and potentially on our health. Check out this trailer – do you believe that bottled water is one of the biggest marketing “tricks” ever played on the people all over the world? Quality Whole-House Water Filtration is a far better choice for our pocketbooks, the planet, and us.

We have seen an awakening of health and environment conscious people in our southern California marketplace. This is occurring in Many of the affluent areas of Orange County, where one would expect to see large numbers of people toting bottled water everywhere.

That was the 90s and early 2000s, but not today! We have seen a dramatic uptick in Whole-House Water Filtration System installations in local cities including Corona del Mar, Newport Coast, San Clemente, Tustin and Ladera Ranch. People living in exclusive communities like Big Canyon, One Ford Road, Belcourt and Harbor View Homes used to consume bottled water by the pallet, but they are no longer held hostage to the situation. More importantly, they are no longer exposed to the potential health risks or contributing to the large glut of plastic in our landfills and oceans.

Everyone has plastic water bottles in their trash.   Installing a quality whole-house water filtration system could put an end to this waste.  Trying to recycle these plastic water bottles found in a San Juan Capistrano trash is not a solution that is working.  Contact us to learn more about the whole-house water filtration that is right for your home.

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.

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.

Here is one of our HealthyHome Solutions, which we feel is the best whole house water filter available. This particular filter was installed in a large Shady Canyon home in Irvine, California.  We filmed this short video as the whole house water purification unit was being prepared to be installed in this home in the heart of Orange County, California.

The HealthyHome Solution water filter provides exceptional drinking water filtration.  This filter will remove chemicals and odors throughout the whole house.  It will improve the water taste by removing organics, pesticides, and many heavy metals.  It means you can have great tasting water from every faucet in the house and not just one specific faucet.  And of course, it covers the water going to your bath and showers which is where much of the damage to your skin and soft tissues from chlorine can be done.

Home water filter systems offered by our competitors do not have secret component this particular product contains.  This popular filter contains a catalytic water conditioner that is our proprietary unit that is an alternative to salt-based water softeners.  This water conditioner will reduce the hard water issues throughout the house without the use of salt, potassium or any chemicals.  It reduces hard water more naturally and therefore does not cause any problem to the environment.   This whole house water filter is considered environmentally friendly because of that fact.

Here is another beautiful Pure Elements installation in Newport Beach, California.  This installation resides on one of the Port Streets in the Harbor View Homes community – the HealthyHome Solution was expertly tucked into the homeowner’s garage cabinets.  This environmentally sound whole-house water filtration and conditioning system has a 12-inch diameter tank and stands feet tall.  It fits perfectly inside the owner’s the 17-inch by 6-foot cabinet.

The HealthyHome Solution water filter system in this home has an estimated filter capacity to remove chlorine and contaminants from 2.25 million gallons of water.  The owners of this water filter will not need to replace the filter media for a very very long time.  With this home water filter system, a typical media replacement takes place every 10 years.

This is one of pure Elements’ HealthyHome Total Property Solution systems.  One more special feature of this water filter system, not found in any other systems, is a proprietary catalytic conditioner on the main water line.  This water conditioner is located directly behind the meter and provides benefits to the landscaping, water features, and the salt pool in the backyard.  This salt-free conditioner helps the water percolate better to plant roots.   Staining on spillways and fountains will be reduced.  In addition, the heating unit, pumps and plumbing of the salt pool will be protected from hard water buildup and costly maintenance.

After a taste test with the owner, we confirmed the filtered water straight out of the kitchen sink tasted better than their Sparkletts bottled water!  Now they get healthier, high quality water directly from every faucet in the home, without the extreme cost and environmental problems associated with bottled waters.

The best shower water filters are whole house systems because they back flush themselves.  This helps utilize the carbon and other media inside to their full extent.   Back flushing exposes more of the media’s surface area.   However, if a person doesn’t own their residence it may make sense to use a less effective but less expensive method of chemical removal.

Recently we chatted with a person online who could concerned about chlorine byproducts.   He could not justify purchasing a water filtration system from us because he did not own the apartment he lived in.  However, he wanted to know about shower water filters.  For people in this predicament, this is what we advise.

“We would advise you that some type of  safeguard is more preferable than doing nothing, so a screw on shower water filter is definitely an option for your apartment.

Shower water filters like this one are better than using nothing.

Perform some comprehensive exploration online; locate a shower filter which includes together activated carbon along with KDF media; check out web sites regarding comparisons (Be aware – various water filter companies and dealers essentially sponsor and publish biased comparisons); and make a decision as to the best shower water filter for your situation.

Be certain to replace the filter media or get a new filter at a minimum of every six months.   If you possibly could manage it every three months, would be even better.  At the very least you will experience some protection from the frightening second-hand chlorine byproducts!”

If you don’t know already, it is time to learn about the risks associated with chlorine in your bath and shower.  Even the best screw on shower water filters, while providing some protection, are not nearly as effective as our eco-friendly home water filtration system.

For the best shower water filter, pipe size matters! I can’t tell you how many times contractors and water system salespeople have improperly sized whole house water systems.  For Newport Beach in the heart of Orange County, we developed custom-built systems to maximize both pressure and flow to all fixtures in large upscale homes.

It is important to undertake a home water filter comparison.  If you install an undersized toy for a home water filtration system , expect to feel results similar to putting a tourniquet on you water supply.  Always match any water system exactly to your incoming pipe diameter – rely on a trusted expert to help you.

The best shower water filter is installed by us in many Orange County cites including:  Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Irvine, Tustin, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana and many more California cities!  Call us today for an estimate or for more information.  (949) 644-1800

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.
