Everpure Technology Means More Efficient Filteration

1. Are there contaminants in my water?

While some contaminants such as lead and chlorine may be easy to detect in your water, other types may be harder to identify. Your local county reports your city's contaminants to the EPA, which you can access at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/dwinfo/index.html

Is my family at risk?Once you've checked the contaminants in your water, check the following chart to determine if your family is at risk.

Lead and Heavy Metals
Hazard: a heavy metal and known health risk

Asbestos
Hazard: used, until recently, in making concrete water pipes; a known carcinogen

Parasytic Cysts
Hazard: the "eggs" of single-celled parasitic organisms known to pose health risks including Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba hystolytica, and Giardia lambia

Chlorine
Hazard: added by municipal waterworks to "sanitize" water

Dirt and Cloudiness
Hazard: silt, sediment or other dissolved solids

Oxidized Minerals
Hazard: cause of scale buildup in pipes and water-using appliances

Chloramine
Hazard: a byproduct of chlorination

VOCs and THMs
Hazard: a byproduct of chlorination

Flouride
Hazard: dissolved fluorine gas added by many municipalities as a dental health measure

MTBE
Hazard: Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether, a gasoline additive

The Everpure Technology Means More Efficient Filtration
Everpure's unique Micro-Pure® precoat technology has set the standard for the water filtration industry. The major difference is in the filter itself. For starters, the membrane has nearly six times the filtering surface area of carbon filters, so it's like packing nearly six filters into one canister.

Next, rather than using a solid carbon block to filter water, this technology's accordion-folded filter membrane is covered on both sides with the very fine activated carbon coating, called Micro-Pure®, and this combination offers consistent performance. With the exclusive precoat filtration, off-tastes, odors and particles as small as one half-micron in size—including lead and asbestos—are removed, making your drinking water as clean and healthy as possible. In fact, some models even offer added protection against VOCs, THMs and MTBE, as well as a bacteriostat to combat the growth of bacteria in the cartridge. In short, we're removing contaminants better than other filters in the industry.

Everpure's precoat filters also ensure that the last drop of water is as great as the first—not only in taste, but in performance as well. Everpure filters provide continuous, reliable functionality through the entire life of the cartridge, securing balanced filtration of particles and chemicals.

This technology is one that other filter companies have unsuccessfully tried to duplicate, and one which yields superior filtration efficiency.
