Drinking water is probably one of the most important considerations people think about these days. Although tap water is verified “safe” by state and local authorities, it often does not taste good. The importance we place on drinking water is easily seen in the rapid growth of the bottled water industry.  Unfortunately, this industry is very poorly regulated and the consumer should always question the actual quality of bottled water.  In fact, studies have shown that about 25% of commercially available bottled water is actually packaged tap water. 

The best method of ensuring high purity drinking and cooking water in the home is by using a process known as Reverse Osmosis (RO). Reverse Osmosis was developed in the late 1950's with support from the U.S. government, as an economical method of desalinating seawater.  Reverse osmosis is sometimes called “hyperfiltration” and represents the very low end of the filtration spectrum.

The Kinetico Kro-GX and VX Plus Deluxe drinking water systems offer distinct advantages over other systems on the market today. These systems conveniently moutn under the sink, in the crawl, garage or basement, and they feed a separate faucet at the sink and can also feed the refridgerator.

With the exception of distillation, RO is the only known process that can effectively remove the following types of impurities:

• Particulate matter, turbidity, sediment, etc.
• Colloidal matter
• Total Dissolved Solids
• Toxic Metals
• Radioactive elements
• Microorganisms
• Flouride/flourine
• Asbestos
• Pesticides and Herbicides
• Heavier organic molecules (MW>300)
