Our Purification Process

Taste, Purity, Safety | Our Purification Process | Better Than Bottled |

Reverse Osmosis or Deionized?

The FreshPure™ Waters Natural Process
Water flows through our multiple filters like water percolating through the sedimentary layers of the earth. Our reverse osmosis membrane imitates the ability of human cells to filter out contaminants. Ultraviolet light incorporates the same purifying spectrum as the sun to ensure maximum water safety and quality. Our comprehensive filtration process, backed by constant monitoring, ensures that FreshPure™ Waters are always healthy and delicious. Taste the difference!

 

 

 

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.
