What are Commercial Water Filtration Systems and Why Are They Important?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

One of the most important aspects of business success, particularly in the food industry, is reliability. Customers want to get consistently excellent service and flavor every time they visit. Commercial water filtration systems play a pivotal role in delivering this reliability, ensuring that the flavors of fountain drinks, coffee, and tea, are always delicious and refreshing.

What is a Commercial Water Filtration System?

A commercial water filtration system is a system that includes multiple filters attached to one common manifold. Each filtering component generally removes a specific contaminant from the water. The types of beverages served will determine the necessary filtration components.

In 2005, the federal government actually laid out specific guidelines for the installation and operation of commercial modular water filtration systems. The systems must now be installed by a qualified plumber or manufacturer’s representative. Following installation, every component of the system must be properly labeled.

What’s Really In Your Drinking Water?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Many of us take the quality and purity of our water for granted. While the public water supply is generally safe for most people, it is not always as harmless as we’d like to believe. In addition to additives like chorine and fluoride, tap water may contain various minerals, microorganisms, and chemicals.

Regulating Water Quality

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) closely monitors the quality of public drinking water. Monitoring must adhere to the Safe Drinking Water Act, which specifies the method for choosing which contaminants are monitored and determining what contaminant levels are acceptable.

Sometimes, the acceptable level is set at zero, but water treatment plants cannot always achieve this level of purity. This disparity is especially common for contaminants that pose a particular hazard for children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.

Currently the EPA monitors approximately 90 different substances. However, over 260 different substances have been found in U.S. tap water. Some of these may simply be a nuisance, while others can pose a health risk. Meanwhile certain contaminants, such as lead, may be introduced through plumbing in individual households.

Get Green with Home Water Filtration

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Once considered costly and cumbersome, residential water filtrations systems are now affordable and environmentally friendly options. Over time, they help homeowners save money and protect the environment, giving people a greater ability to “go green.”

Invest in Long-Term Water Quality

Everyone wants the safest and purest drinking water for their families. As a result, many households consistently spend large quantities of money on bottled water. They want the assurance that they are putting clean, healthy water into their bodies.

Yet buying bottled water isn’t enough. Families still cook, clean, and bathe with tap water. Why spend so much money on bottled water, when it doesn’t even completely protect from contamination? Instead, a residential water filtration system removes contaminants from the entire water supply, rather than just from drinking water.

A home water filter system offers consumers an excellent opportunity to reduce bottled water expenses and ensure the highest-quality water: Continue reading “Get Green with Home Water Filtration” »

The Benefits of Commercial Water Filtration

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

More consumers are “going green” and ditching the bottled water. What does that mean for businesses? An increased demand for pure and refreshing water, ice, and beverages.

The best way to deliver that is through a high-quality commercial filtration system.

Benefits of Commercial Water Filtration

Commercial water filtration systems are indispensable for virtually every business. These systems offer businesses multiple advantages, including savings:

  • Reduced expenditures on bottled water: In the office setting, employers often supply their staff and customers with bottled water. Cut costs on beverage service with an office water purification system. A filter system requires a higher one-time investment, but eliminates a recurring cost.
  • Eliminate incidence of injury: Lifting and changing the heavy bottles on popular water coolers can result in employee injury, due to muscle strain. Replace the cooler with a reverse osmosis cooler, which runs directly from the office water supply. Continue reading “The Benefits of Commercial Water Filtration” »
