My water comes from a municipal system. Isnt that protection enough?
No! Municipal water varies greatly in both quality and levels of contamination. In order to combat bacteria and parasites, chlorine is added to the water. Chlorine is a chemical that has been associated with cancer and heart disease*. For more information about what exactly is in your water, we urge you to read your local water report. What does your local water company consider to be an acceptable level of arsenic or lead?

Doesnt chlorine protect you from the contaminants in the water?
Yes, chlorine is a disinfectant, BUT it continues to be linked to serious health risks. And because every type of chemical contamination that is found in our water cannot be removed with chlorine, filtering your water is VITAL to your health.
I already have bottled/filtered drinking water. Why do I need a whole house filter?
The human body absorbs up to 60% more contaminants through the skin than by drinking. You wouldnt want to bathe in water you refuse to drink.
Why is the AquaElements filter better than point-of-use filters and other point-of-entry filters?
It is impossible to install point-of-use filters everywhere you and your appliances come into contact with water. Many point-of-use filters are used on the kitchen sink for drinking water, but consider every other tap in the house; showers, bathtubs, sinks and water heaters, etc. Without changing the costly cartridges on other filters, bacteria buildup in the water increases. The AquaElements system eliminates the need for all pointofuse filters.
How does the AquaElements Water Filtration System water taste?
Just as nature intended clean, fresh and pure.
Is the AquaElements system expensive?
NO! On average, it should cost less than a cup of coffee a day. For that, you never have to buy bottled water; you bathe in pure clean water; and you protect all of your appliances.
