Enjoy pure water on demand with ultrafiltration

Does the water from your tap taste metallic? Want pure water with no unpleasant aftertaste?

An ultrafiltration system could be the solution for you! It eliminates invisible contaminants such as heavy metals and chemical products while producing clean, safe drinking water.

Water from municipal supplies has undergone treatments but it may still contain impurities. Ultrafiltration systems produce high-quality drinking water you can enjoy directly from your tap. Plus, they don’t waste water and require no power supply. Read on to discover the advantages of this system and how it could benefit everyone in your household.

What is ultrafiltration and how does it work?

Ultrafiltration is a purification process that uses a membrane with very fine pores to remove contaminants such as particles. Unlike other filtration methods, ultrafiltration requires no power supply and does not waste water. In other words, it’s a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution.

It’s a 3-stage process:

  • Stage 1 :
    Big particles such as dirt, sand, and other sediments that could clog the membrane are eliminated.
  • Stage 2 :
    A coconut shell filter reduces the amount of benzene, chloramine, dioxane, residual chlorine, and pesticides in the water as well as any odours.
  • Stage 3 :
    A carbon filter eliminates a variety of contaminants such as chemical products and heavy metals. The pores in this filter are slightly bigger than those in filters used by reverse osmosis systems.

Why invest in a water treatment system?

There are myriad advantages to using an ultrafiltration system compared to other filtration technologies available on the market:

  • Efficiently removes contaminants
    Ultrafiltration systems eliminate sediments and visible particles as well as chemical contaminants such as benzene, chlorine, heavy metals, chloramines, and more.
  • A climate-friendly solution
    Ultrafiltration does not waste water. You’ll enjoy filtered water straight from your tap — guaranteeing optimal use with no water loss. This makes it an eco-friendly solution, ideal for households concerned about their environmental impact.
  • A compact system
    This tankless filtration system is extremely compact and can be installed under the sink or behind the fridge, thereby maximizing your kitchen space.
  • Easy to install and maintain
    Quick-connect filters are easy to replace, and last on average 8 to 12 months.

Is an ultrafiltration system right for you?

Before investing in an ultrafiltration system, you need to consider a few factors:

  • The size of your home
    Make sure to pick a system that produces the quantity of water your home needs.
  • The type of contaminants in your water
    Get a free water test to identify the contaminants you need to eliminate. That way, you’ll be sure to select the system that meets your needs.

Maintaining the ultrafiltration system

Once it’s installed, you’ll only need to replace the filters. It’s a quick, low-cost process.

How often you have to replace the filters will depend on several factors, including the quality of the water that needs to be filtered and how often you use the system. As a general rule, filters need to be replaced every 6 to 12 months. However, this may vary.

  • Highly contaminated water: If your water has a high concentration of sediments or contaminants, your filters may need to be replaced more often — every 6 months.
  • High usage: Filters may clog up more quickly, and will thereby need to be replaced more frequently, in households that use a lot of water.

An ultrafiltration system is a simple, efficient, eco-friendly solution. By eliminating a range of contaminants, it produces pure, safe drinking water for your whole family.

Whether you’re concerned about your health or looking to adopt more environmentally-friendly habits, an ultrafiltration system represents a wise investment.
