(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 30, 2010 ) Lancaster, PA - In the last decade, interest in home water treatment products has grown tremendously. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy for consumers to know whether or not a particular product will actually be as safe and effective as the manufacturer claims at reducing various contaminants from your water supply.
LHB Appliances and PureH2O Water Treatment Service Systems have a long history of developing and running independent product testing programs. In fact, Brubaker is the leading independent tester of home water treatment products on the market today.
With
With our state-of-the-art laboratories and highly skilled staff, Brubaker has the knowledge and expertise to effectively evaluate water treatment products, including:
• Filtration filters (i.e. carbon, charcoal, KDF, ceramic)
• Reverse osmosis systems
• Water softeners
• Distillation systems
• Ultraviolet disinfection products.
As an added assurance for consumers, Pure H2O Water Treatment Service requires that all products meet annual re-certification requirements. Unannounced plant inspections and periodic retesting of all certified products are required of all Pure H2O Water Treatment Service products.
This is a picture of the radial flow filters we recommend as a replacement in our Big Blue filter housings. The filter on the left is a (25-30 micron pleated) dirt and sediment pre-filter and the one on the right is a GAC (25-30 micron carbon) taste and odor post-filter. Filters with a radial flow pattern (water flows through the sides and the filter has a hole through the center) are best as a replacement because they have higher flow rates and will last the longest between changes. Products they certify continue to meet all stated requirements year after year.
