The first step toward healthful, refreshing water is to evaluate your family’s needs and find the system that is right for you.

	Are there contaminants in my water? While some contaminants such as lead and chlorine may be easy to detect in your water, other types may be harder to identify. Your local county reports your city's contaminants to the EPA, which you can access at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/dwinfo/index.html.
	Is my family at risk? Once you've checked the contaminants in your water, check the following chart to determine if your family is at risk. Contaminant Details Lead and Heavy Metals Hazard: heavy metal and known health risk Asbestos Hazard: used, until recently, in making concrete water pipes; a known carcinogen Parasytic Cysts Hazard: the "eggs" of single-celled parasitic organisms known to pose health risks including Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba hystolytica, and Giardia lambia Chlorine Hazard: added by municipal waterworks to "sanitize" water Dirt and Cloudiness Hazard: silt, sediment or other dissolved solids Oxidized Minerals Hazard: cause of scale buildup in pipes and water-using appliances Chloramine Hazard: added by municipal waterworks to "sanitize" water VOCs and THMs Hazard: a byproduct of chlorination Flouride Hazard: dissolved fluorine gas added by many municipalities as a dental health measure MTBE Hazard: Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether, a gasoline additive

Water flows evenly and freely, even with changes in water pressure.Micro-Sanitization® A proprietary blend of very fine activated carbon called Micro-Sanitization® coats a unique, pleated filter membrane. Incoming pressure forces the water through the layer of Micro-Pure and through the filter membrane.The openings in the Micro-Pure layer are so small that any particle 1/2 micron (1/50,000 inch) or larger is removed. Filtered water channels up through the rigid grid structure of the filter membrane and out of the system.
