7.5 million Floridians were exposed to unsafe drinking water in 2015!


According to a newly published, ( May 2017) Natural Resources Defense Council study,  more Floridians are exposed to unsafe drinking water than just about anywhere in the country. This  new study of nationwide violations, notes that the state ranked second in the number of people impacted by violations under the Safe Drinking Water Act based on the most recent data available from 2015. Nationally, 77 million people were exposed to unsafe water, with violations including high levels or toxic arsenic, lead and other chemicals, as well as failure to test or report contamination. To compile the data, the nonprofit looked at the most recent, comprehensive data and ranked states based on the number of people exposed to unsafe water. That could skew findings to heavily populated states, but even as a percentage, Florida ranked in the top 10. Altogether, 7.5 million Floridians received water from utilities that violated standards. Among the state’s top violations was failing to provide its citizens with a required annual water quality report. Other major problems violated rules on cancer-causing disinfectants, high levels of coliform from human waste, and lead and copper that exceeded safe limits. Nationwide, the study found that small and rural communities racked up the highest number of violations and that for nine out of 10 violations, no formal action was taken to correct problems. The study turned up 80,000 violations in 2015 in 18,000 water treatment systems across the country. Of these, 12,000 violations created potential health hazards. In Florida, more than 250 violations were tied to health hazards.The NRDC also reported that the EPA has not added any new drinking water standards since the law was amended in 1996 to require regular five-year updates on potential new contaminants to be monitored, including algae-related toxins that have fouled water around Florida. Worried about your water? We recommend that you start with a water analysis so you can focus treatment specifically on the problems with your water. Know what your treating already? Filter Pure recommends the Pentair/Everpure family of water filters for premium quality drinking water. Their unique filter blend uses activated carbon to reduce chlorine taste and odor and offensive contaminants down to ½ micron in size even taking out water borne cysts such as cryptosporidium and giardia. All the OW replacement water filter cartridges are NSF Certified under NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53, the OW200L (P/N EV9619-01) , OW2-PLUS (P/N EV9634-01) , and OW4-PLUS (P/N EV9635-01). We also carry the 4C cartridge (EV9600-00) and new line of Everpure (Fibredyne II) and FC-L lead reduction cartridges including the 4FC-L (EV9693-10), 4FC-LS, S for scale inhibitor, ( EV9693-16), 7FC-L (EV9693-40) and 7FC-LS with scale inhibitor, ( EV9693-46).

Is the the 2017 Commercial Ice Machine season starting early?

Memorial Day usually marks the beginning of the Commercial Ice Season and the majority of ice for consumption and refrigeration is purchased in the summer but with temperatures already climbing toward 100 this weekend, I think it might be arriving early this year! The majority of ice for consumption and refrigeration is purchased in the summer, nearly 80 percent between Memorial Day and Labor Day, according to the International Packaged Ice Association. According to AAA / IHS forecast more than 38 million travelers hit the road during the 2016 Memorial Day holiday period, an increase of 1.9 percent over 2015. The 38 million travelers was the most since 2005 and the second-highest total on record. The total was a 10.7 percent above the post-recession average and nine percent above the average since 2000. The average price of gasoline in May of 2016 was $2.30 per gallon and currently the average price as of this writing is $2.39 per gallon an increase of only 4 % over last year but expectations are for prices to rise into the holiday. Even with this expected increase, expectations are for another record year and with record temperatures and record demand from thirsty tourists expected in Florida this year, you can expect commercial ice machine/s to be working overtime and Everpure Ice Machine water filters are ready to help. Now is the best time to check your system and order replacement water filters if you need them.  These filters are critical in making sure your machine not only produces the freshest, cleanest tasting ice, but also so that it runs efficiently and doesn’t use more energy than necessary.

Healthiest 2017 New Year’s Resolution Save! Drink more water!

It’s now March and making it to the gymn and sticking with that diet may becoming harder and harder to do as everyday life gets in the way but there is one easy thing you can do anytime anywhere and feel great about getting it done in 2017 and that is to drink more water. Proven to be one of the best things you can do for your body. More energy, lower cholesterol, better kidney function and a much better mood are just some of the health affects you can expect. Drinking more water right now, hot or warm during the winter months can help with everything from better digestion to improved blood circulation.  Here are just a few health affects you will find from drinking more water right now starting with an increase in energy levels to get you to the gym. Water is one of the major sources of energy for our cells. Energy is made when glucose is converted to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is held in reserve until it is needed. These two molecules need water in order for the stored energy to be released in a process called hydrolysis. The ATP by itself contains 600 units of energy, but when combined with water it can increase to over 6,000 units, to ten times the original amount. Feeling tired or fatigued, you may need more water. Lack of water can even cause an increase in cholesterol. Low cellular water levels impede the entry of nutrients and the removal of waste from our cells. To compensate for the lack of water our liver sends cholesterol to the cells to fill the space where water was supposed to be, in order to allow the cell to function. This can cause an excess of cholesterol in the blood stream leading to plaque. Based upon several studies and in office evaluations by Doctors, it has been determined that low levels of water can lead to a wide range of mental challenges including mental fatigue, depression and even more serious issues including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.  So whether it’s at home or in the office this year, drink more water and make 2017 the year that you became a healthier you with a New Year’s resolution that was easy to keep. For premium quality drinking water for bottleless coolers and drinking fountains in your office Filter Pure recommends the Pentair/Everpure OW, (Office Water) Family of water filters. Their unique filter blend uses activated carbon to reduce chlorine taste and odor and offensive contaminants down to ½ micron in size even taking out water borne cysts such as cryptosporidium and giardia. All the OW replacement water filter cartridges are NSF Certified under NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53, the OW200L (P/N EV9619-01) , OW2-PLUS (P/N EV9634-01) , and OW4-PLUS (P/N EV9635-01). We also carry the 4C cartridge (EV9600-00) and new line of Everpure (Fibredyne II) and FC-L lead reduction cartridges including the 4FC-L (EV9693-10), 4FC-LS, S for scale inhibitor, ( EV9693-16), 7FC-L (EV9693-40) and 7FC-LS with scale inhibitor, ( EV9693-46).

New for 2016, High Capacity Chloramine Systems from Everpure. The new 7CLM+ and XCLM+ Filter Systems.

The new high capacity simple solution for chloramine reduction; The Everpure 7CLM+ and XCLM+ Filter Systems from Pentair reduce chloramines and a wide variety of other contaminants, making them excellent filters for fountain beverage, frozen carbonated beverage and drinking water applications. Pairing it with a scale control device such as the Everpure SR-X Scale Inhibition System provides additional protection for coffee, espresso, ice and steam applications.

The Everpure 7CLM+ and XCLM+ Systems offer many benefits for foodservice operators, including:

  • Enhances beverage quality. The system reduces unpleasant tastes and odors, and other offensive containments that can adversely affect the taste of beverages. It also helps fountain beverages retain carbonation.
  • Reduces contaminants. In addition to reducing chloramines, reduces particles as small as 5 micron in size by mechanical means providing additional protection from microorganisms which often survive disinfection by chloramines or chlorine.
  • Extends equipment life. The 7CLM+ and XCLM+ Systems protect drink system seals, pumps, tubing and small orifices from chemical degradation, clogging, corrosion and abrasive wear.
  • Simple. Quick. Clean. Sanitary cartridge replacement is just that – simple, quick and clean. Internal filter parts are never exposed to handling or contamination.

What are chloramines?

Chloramines are a combination of chlorine and ammonia, and are used as a disinfectant to treat drinking water as an alternative to chlorine. Free chlorine lasts for just a few hours, whereas chloramines can last for 2 to 3 days. This means that chloramines can provide more stability for better disinfection over long distances in pipe lines as water moves through distribution systems to the end-users.

For foodservice operations, studies have shown a correlation between chloramines and the corrosion of stainless steel, hoses, gaskets and rubber materials in hot-water applications like combi ovens, steamers and ware washers. Chloramines become corrosive when heated and can negatively impact food and beverage flavor, and cause stainless steel to pit, rust and turn gray. Chloramines also affect copper, copper alloys, other metals and rubber.

Perfect for the Coke Freestyle; Everpure’s CLM line meets all the filtration requirements for the Freestyle machine. It reduces chloramines, chlorine and other offensive contaminants that can adversely effect the taste and odor of the beverage and protects the o-rings that can be effected and swell because of the chloramine in the water.

Contact us today for more information on the new 7CLM+ and XCLM+ systems or replacement cartridges. Question on how we can help?  Contact us atinfo@filterpure.com  or contact us directly at 800-942-7873. You can also check out our CLM line on our website! Click here: EVERPURE’S CLM LINE!
