Our water filter products greatly reduce or even eliminate
salts, chemical contaminants and heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic, or
disinfection by-products. These are the most economical and efficient means of
improving your tap water quality. Water purification or filtration units are
point-of-use (POU) treatment systems that can improve the taste, odor and
overall quality of your tap water or whole house water. There is not any
single product that is best over all for all consumers, as water quality
differs from location to location. Also, keep in mind that water quality can
be different from one day to the next.
Distillation process in a nutshell
Water is heated to a boil,
which evaporates leaving behind all sediments, contaminants, including cysts,
e-coli, bacteria, VOC's, heavy metals including lead, arsenic and chlorine. A
cooling process follows which condenses water vapors back to liquid form. The
result is the purest form of water, H2O.
Reverse Osmosis filtration in a
nutshell
Water
is pressure pushed through several stages of filtration, removing
contaminants, including cysts, e-coli, bacteria, heavy metals including lead,
arsenic and chlorine. The treated water is then stored in a storage tank,
usually out of sight under the kitchen sink ,and connected to a counter top
faucet. Greatly improves the taste of water, very effective in removing
contaminants.
Carbon block filtration in a
nutshell.
Water runs
through fine granular activated carbon particles, removing a great number of
organic contaminants, sediments and chlorine but is not very effective in
removing parasitic cysts and bacteria.
The products sold at Superior Water Supplies increase
your confidence for consistent water quality. Consumers are encouraged to
research their water quality to
identify the types of impurities, contaminants and
additives that are present in their drinking water supply. A local lab can
test your water and suggests some remedies if your water quality is
questionable, specially if your water comes from a well. Well water could be
of questionable quality, simply for the fact that it has not been through any
prior desinfecting process, unlike city water.

may just want a counter top water filter to reduce contaminants such as lead
and cysts.
-
You may have a need for a larger under-sink or whole house
water filter unit.
-
A multiple treatment system with RO (reverse osmosis) system,
UV water treatment (ultraviolet light) and/or activated carbon filter - carbon
block water treatment system will greatly reduce, even eliminate your exposure
to all kinds of contaminants.
-
You may want to add a shower filter to your shower head to

Famous Last Words
"Consumers
must use and maintain their water treatment systems properly to continue to
get the maximum results from their appliance. Reading the instruction manual
is important. It is advised that consumers refrain from creatively trying to
match replacement parts or water cartridges with cheaper alternatives. Only
the recommended manufacturers parts should be used. Consequently, we sell
replacement water filter cartridges that are made specifically for the systems
that we sell."
