These Water Softeners are a whole house filtration system. There is no other systems available on the market that can provide the same benefits that these systems provide. These water softeners are manufactured from highly polished solid stainless steel and feature the latest design in control valves. Other companies are using a fake metal jacket that covers a fiberglass tank and they call it stainless steel and it's not, its cheap low grade metal, that will rust.
These water softeners soften municipally treated water and also inhibits the growth of bacteria, algae and fungi in the filter media when setting out in the hot sun or in a hot garage.
The bacteria inhibiting feature of the Aqua-Soft water softeners are based on two filtering processes, the first is NASA Silver Ion Technology developed to purify water aboard the Space Shuttles and the second is Aqua-Redox Media.
The Silver Ion Technology uses Silver impregnated activated carbon and the Aqua-Redox Media uses a mixture of copper and zinc. Working together these two processes inhibit bacteria, algae and fungi growth in the filter media of our Water Systems.
These water softeners also remove/reduces bad tastes and odors, chlorine, chlorine by-products, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, chloramines, lead, nickel, mercury, chromium, and other water soluble heavy metals, inorganic minerals and approx. 1100 organic compounds which includes estrogen hormones (estradiol),pfas chemicals and filters out sediments from the water to 5 microns. Bottom line, you don't have to live with unhealthy, chemicalized, bad smelling, bad tasting water coming into your house. The bonus is, your water will taste "better than" bottled water and can be Alkaline.
