Why does my drinking water need to be filtered?

Because many diseases are spread through water, and making proper filtration is essential to your health. The water you drink is responsible for many bodily functions running smoothly. Dehydration can lead to headaches, indigestion, and infections.

What bacteria are commonly found in untreated water?

Many harmful microorganisms can be found in untreated water, including:

Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, Legionella, E. Coli, Rhizopus stolonifera, Salmonella.

There are also viruses present in untreated drinking water. Along with bacteria, drinking this water can cause gastrointestinal distress, pneumonia, headaches, and infections. A water filtration system installed and maintained by Della Vita Life Water is able to eliminate bacteria and viruses from your residential or commercial drinking water.

What can water filters remove?

The most common substances removed during water filtration are chemicals, metals, and both organic and inorganic pollutants. Della Vita water filtration systems use multiple elements, such as reverse osmosis and ultraviolet treatment to ensure water is as clean and pure as possible.

What chemicals are commonly found in untreated water?

Some of the chemicals found in drinking water supplies include: arsenic, chlorine, copper, fertilizers, lead, mercury, and nitrates. Many of these chemicals can cause severe health problems, especially when consumed over a long period of time or in large quantities. However, with a proper filtration system you will be able to remove dangerous chemicals from your drinking water.

What is the difference between hard and soft water?

Hard water is untreated and has high amounts of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Soft water is created after the hard water is filtered out and those minerals are removed.

How does reverse osmosis work?

Reverse osmosis works by filtering out minerals and dissolved solids from the water. The water gets filtered when it passes through a membrane, which allows the purified water to keep moving on, while the filtered out minerals, particles, and dissolved solids get flushed away.

How does the ultraviolet system work?

Ultraviolet is the most effective process of eliminating harmful bacteria and viruses by genetically altering their DNA. It does not kill the germs, but renders them inactive so they cause no harm. The ultraviolet system does not rid the water of lead or any other minerals.

How can I benefit from a water purification treatment?

  • Better Taste: Purification systems remove chlorine and other contaminants that can alter the taste of the water, so water that is run through these water purification systems has a better taste.
  • Less Mineral Scale: Unpurified water typically contains a variety of substances, including calcium, lime, iron, and magnesium, which creates issues throughout the home, including mineral build-up in the pipes and water heaters, scale formation on kitchen and bathroom fixtures and decreased efficiencies of water-using appliances. A purification system can help to protect pipes, fixtures and appliances from mineral build-up.
