Our
state-of-the-art purification system begins with water from your local
municipal water supply, an EPA--approved and regulated source.
Sediment
filters reduce concentrations of particles such as sand, dirt, rust and
algae.
Carbon
filtration reduces organic taste-and-odor-causing substances as well as
chlorine and chloramines.
The
filtered water is then forced through an RO membrane which works on a
molecular level to remove up to 99% of any remaining contaminants and
minerals.
At
this point FreshPure™ RO Water is passed through
an ion-exchange media to become FreshPure ™ Deionized (DI)
Water. As
a further polish, another carbon filter removes all taste and from both
the FreshPure™ RO and DI Waters.
As
the final safeguard just before dispensing, both FreshPure™ RO and DI
Waters pass through high-intensity ultra-violet light which uses the
same purifying spectrum as the sun to ensure ultimate water safety.
All
of this produces – on the spot - the freshest, purest and best-
tasting water for you: FreshPure™ Waters.

The Hydrologic Cycle: Nature’s Own Purification
System
Nature recycles the earth's limited water supply through a process known
as the water or hydrologic cycle. Powered by energy from the sun, water
evaporates from the vast surfaces of the ocean and transpires from plant
biomass. Convection lifts the moisture, which cools and condenses into
clouds. Water is eventually returned to the earth as snow, sleet and rain.
This precipitation accumulates as freshwater on the earth’s surface and
percolates below in the ground.
Freshwater
Freshwater represents just three percent (3%) of all water on earth, and
nearly 70% of that is frozen in ice and in glaciers.The other
30% of freshwater is located in the ground. Surface freshwater sources,
such as rivers and lakes, constitute only 1/700th of one percent of the
planet’s total water. These are the primary sources of the earth’s
drinking water.
There is widespread concern about the deteriorating quality of
freshwater in North America. Growing demand, coupled with increasing
levels of pollutants, has led many people to question the safety of their
municipal water supplies. Even though city water treatment
plants are carefully regulated by the EPA, a lot
can happen to water as it travels to your faucet. Tap water is dependent
upon the condition of city infrastructure and your home’s plumbing.
Lead, asbestos, copper, brass and PVC, which are common plumbing
materials, have all been linked to health disorders.
At National Water Services we believe that
everyone deserves safer, better tasting water. We have been providing high
quality, delicious FreshPure™ Waters at natural food stores since 1991.
