Modern Drinking Systems

Access to clean, safe drinking water is fundamental to health. While municipal treatment facilities filter out major pollutants, point-of-use drinking systems provide a critical final barrier against contaminants that may survive treatment or enter through aging infrastructure, such as lead or pipe sediment.+1

Most modern home drinking systems rely on one of three core technologies to ensure purity:

• Activated Carbon Filtration: This is the industry standard for improving taste and smell. Carbon filters are highly effective at absorbing chlorine, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Reverse Osmosis (RO): considered the “gold standard” of purification. RO systems force water through a microscopic semi-permeable membrane, removing up to 99% of dissolved solids, including heavy metals, fluoride, and salts.
• Ultraviolet (UV) Purification: Often used as a final stage, UV light neutralizes biological threats like bacteria and viruses without adding chemicals to the water.

Installing a dedicated drinking system not only guarantees safer hydration but also promotes sustainability by drastically reducing the need for single-use plastic bottled water.
