The City of Tampa Water Department provides over 55 million gallons of drinking water to more than 600,000 residents every day.

Water Filters That Can Reduce Contaminant Levels
| CONTAMINANTS ABOVE HEALTH GUIDELINES | Activated Carbon | Reverse Osmosis | Ion Exchange |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenic | ✔ | ✔ | |
| Chromium (hexavalent) | ✔ | ✔ | |
| Nitrate | ✔ | ✔ | |
| Radium, combined (-226 & -228) | ✔ | ✔ | |
| Total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) | ✔ | ✔ |
Solution
He bought an S-6 Reverse Osmosis System to purify his water for his family (wife and child). We have provided him what we feel is the best quality water available on the market.
Benefit
This system removes 95+% of all impurities in the water, then adds beneficial minerals back into his water so he has pH positive water now (Reverse Osmosis water tends to be slightly acidic so adding the final stage brings the pH up)
Result
TDS after the water is purified, then a small number of minerals are added back in are 38ppm
- TDS: 38ppm
- pH: 7.5
We love it! The water taste truly amazing. I never knew that the water from my faucet could taste so good. Thank you Geno and Florida Water Analysis for an amazing product.
