Puronics Systems are the only Water Filtration Systems to use SilverShield® Protection.

In 500 BC, Greeks, Romans and Egyptians used Silver to purify and preserve water.  In the 1800′s Doctors used silver sutures in surgical wounds, Pioneers and frontier settlers used Silver Coins in their drinking water and milk to prevent spoilage. And in the 1970′s NASA scientists developed silver ion technology to purify drinking water for space shuttle orbiters.

Silver is a naturally occurring and highly effective antimicrobial agent. Silver has long been known for its antimicrobial properties and is effective in fighting a wide range of microbes.  Silver provides many benefits over other antimicrobials that are chlorine, ammonia or alcohol based. Silver is proven to be safe with no toxic effects on people, plants or animals.

The amount of sodium in soft water depends on how hard the water was before it was softened. The harder the original water was, the more sodium it might contain. The following table shows the amount of sodium added to ONE quart (One Liter) of softened water. As a comparison, a quart is approximately four 8 ounce glasses of water.

Reverse osmosis is  a process in which dissolved inorganic solids are removed from a liquid, such as water.  The process is accomplished using the pressure from your incoming water supply.  The pressure pushes the incoming water through a semi permeable membrane.   The membrane allows only the water to pass through and not the impurities or contaminates it contains.  These impurities and contaminates are later flushed down the drain.

And one of the reasons it does this job well is that it’s very good at holding things, either by suspending them or dissolving them.

We plan on posting weekly articles talking about things such as the causes of hard water, how to make your water soft, the benefits of soft water, what makes drinking water taste/smell bad, how to make great tasting drinking water from you tap water and other topics to help you get the best water possible for you and your family.

If you have a question about your water, please feel free to ‘Ask the Water Guy’.  We will do our best to answer each and every question that comes across our blog.

Our goal, one drop at a time, is to get every person in Southern California drinking and enjoying clean, great tasting water.
