Protect Your Family with an Arsenic Water Filter...
The need to remove arsenic from drinking water is undisputed.
In various parts of the United States, artesian wells with great tasting water contain high levels of arsenic.
The EPA limits for arsenic were recently lowered.
Lower limits have been the trend with arsenic and other contaminants. The more we learn about health effects, the lower acceptable limits are set.
Unfortunately, filtering arsenic from water is expensive, especially for an entire community.
Because of this expense, exceptions to the lower limits were granted to small communities that cannot afford to filter arsenic from all their water.
For communities that cannot afford to meet the strict standard of 10 PPB Arsenic, a point of use arsenic water filter in your home is the recommended solution.
If you live in a community that has higher levels of arsenic, or if you have a well with high levels of arsenic in the water, consider a point of use arsenic drinking water filter.
Filtering arsenic from your drinking water is the most affordable way to protect your health.

- It is easier to maintain than a reverse osmosis system.
