Drinking Water Purification
(Filters not available, Please get back soon)
Clean drinking water is imperative for proper hydration. Pollutants from chlorine and pesticides to heavy metals and even medical drugs are ubiquitous in our waterways and most sadly go undetected. Here we introduce you to cost effective ways of obtaining the highest quality clean drinking water every day.
Each purification technology has its benefits. From Activated Carbon, Kinetic Degradation Fluxion to Reverse Osmosis, Greensand Iron and Distillation, each process is best suited to certain aspects of water cleansing. We will clarify for you, which of these technologies combine best to provide you and your family with the very cleanest drinking water.
By adding Plato H2O™ to this purified water, super-hydration will occur. An average increase in cellular hydration of over 22% is clinically proven, as your body takes advantage of this restructured, high energy, health-giving water that it craves.
Why chose a drinking water purification system over bottled water?
There is no doubt that bottled water is the most expensive option. Certainly there are some good bottled waters available, but many have been proven to be inadequate. All but the most expensive are in PET plastic containers, which recent research suggests may not be as inert as we used to believe. Certainly for best health, it is sensible to avoid drinking large quantities of plastic bottled water over a period of years.
Also, there is the convenience and waste aspect. A family of four can create quite a mountain of bottles and is always running out. Life begins to revolve around purchasing and disposing of car-loads of bottles.
All of this can be avoided and the cleanest water with made available on demand with a drinking water purification system.
Below is a table of the most commonly available purification technologies, clearly listing which contaminants each will remove from your water.

** At high contaminant levels, filter life will be reduced significantly. Manganese greensand (whole house iron reduction filter) or KDF filter is recommended for Hydrogen sulfide.
*** Even though reverse osmosis is effective in removing bacteria and viruses, it is not recommended that your rely upon reverse osmosis solely if your water is contaminated with bacteria or viruses. Ultraviolet (UV) purification is also recommended.
For the moment we simply encourage you to consider these options, and be aware that some purification systems combine two or more technologies in order to ensure the broadest contamination elimination.
We will soon be making one or more of the best units available to our customers at Plato H2O.
