Our Technology

Pure Water for Life's Filtration Systems use advance filtration technology in order to meet the most demanding water conditions. These systems are designed for maximum performance with a minimal amount of maintenance and comply with all industry standards and specifications.

We offer a new dimension on water treatment equipment and have been engineered with both the installer and consumer in mind. Systems are available in many different models and may be used in a variety of conditions including, but not limited to residential, commercial, industrial and specialty applications.

Our Filtration Systems are effective in removing sediment, turbidity, iron, unpleasant tastes and odors, suspended particles, and unwanted color, all of which are commonly found in surface water. All of the Filtration Systems require periodic backwashing to dispose of the accumulated debris. This is accomplished by backwashing the system with clean water and then disposing the effluent. During this process, the different sizes of media separate into layers, preparing the filtration bed for service

Pure Water for Life, Inc. offers a variety of medias and resins such as anthracite, silver sand, gravel, activated carbon, manganese greensand, KDF, softener resin, DT resin, and more.

Anthracite: Performs nearly identical to a sand bed. but is used in applications where silica pick-up from the sand is objectionable.

Silver Sand: The most common filter media, used in most filtration systems. Generally, fme mesh sand is coupled with a course grain support bed to remove suspended solids and turbidity.

Gravel: Has a highly spherical, shape that promotes good flow and even distribution in support beds.

Activated Carbon: This media is recommended for the removal of unpleasant tastes, odors, de- chlorination, and organic contaminant absorption.

Manganese Greensand: This media is capab1e of reducing iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from water through oxidation and filtration.

KDF: This patented media has the ability to remove and/or reduce chlorine, iron oxide, sediment, hydrogen sulfide, heavy metals, microorganisms through a process called oxidation reduction (Redox).

ChemSorb/E: Used as a filter bed (or tank) material in lieu of sand/anthracite, pecan shells or other, coarse filtration material efficiently removes suspended solids and fine turbidity particles. The filter granules physically filter and trap the suspended solids. In addition, the granules remove a wide range of colloidal and soluble, inorganic metallic, contaminants by surface sorption, chemical binding, charge-neutralization, coagulation, reactions and/or ionic, ion exchange phenomena.

Softener Resin: This resin is a high purity and capacity premium grade bead form conventional gel polystyrene copolymer cation exchange resin. Used for water softening in food processing, beverage. and potable water applications. This resin also has excellent physical and chemical! properties with resistance to oxidation.

D1 Resin: This resin is used for high quality water applications and the removal of total dissolved solids. D1 resin attracts minerals and trace elements of the raw water, and binds them to the resin.

Chlorine and Your Drinking Water -
Here's What The Experts Have To Say:

"The drinking of chlorinated water has finally been officially linked to an increased incidence of colon cancer. An epidemiologist at Oak Ridge Associated Universities completed a study of colon cancer victims and non- cancer patients and concluded that the drinking of chlorinated water for 5 years or more was conducive to a high rate of colon cancer." Health Freedom News, January/February 2006.

"Long-term drinking of chlorinated water appears to increase a person's risk of developing bladder cancer as much as 80%," according to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Some 45,000 Americans are diagnosed every year with bladder cancer. St. Paul Dispatch & Pioneer Press, December 17, 2006.

"Although concentrations of these carcinogens are low.. it is precisely these low levels which cancer scientists believe are responsible for the majority of human cancers in the United States." Report Issued By the Environmental Protection Agency.

"Chlorine itself is not believed to be the problem. Scientists suspect that the actual cause of the bladder cancers is a group of chemicals that form as result of reactions between the chlorine and natural substances and pollutants in the water." (organic matter such as leaves and twigs.) St. Paul Dispatch & Pioneer Press, December17,2006

Greenpeace reports have found chlorine-based compounds to be the most common toxic and persistent pollutants in the Southern California.

Summary and Prevention Strategies

In its proposal for revamping the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency has recommended examining chlorine's impact on health and the environment (SN: 1/22/07, p.59). The agency's proposed $2 million, one-year chlorine study would look at the effects of the use of chlorine and chlorine compounds in the manufacture of paper, solvents, and plastics and in disinfecting waste water and drinking water, says EPA' James F. Pendergast.

Contaminants may enter water supplies at many points before reaching the tap. The carcinogens in drinking water at the point of use may result from contamination of source water, arise from the treatment processes, or enter as the water is transported to the consumer. Varied carcinogens may contaminate the source water, but they usually exist in drinking water at low concentrations. However, chemicals that enter drinking water during water treatment are limited in number, but appear in drinking water supplies with greater frequency than most source water contaminants.

Under conditions of average temperature, humidity, and activity, the human body loses and, therefore, must replace about 2.3 liters of water each day Two-thirds of this consumption is in the form of water or some other beverage. Concerns about the health risks or taste of drinking water may cause those who consume tap water to shift to bottled water, or other beverages. These beverages may include sweetened soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, which can pose health risks greater than those associated with drinking water.

To stop chlorination of drinking water to eliminate the elevated cancer risks from chlorination by- products would be foolhardy. Nonetheless, the data provide strong evidence to support expanded efforts in research and development of alternatives to chlorination for the disinfection of drinking water. Chlorination is particularly effective in preventing recontamination during distribution. Alternatives must provide a similar level of protection. Perhaps the most viable alternative is point of use water treatment units.
