Advanced Filtration for a Healthier Home

Our state-of-the-art filtration technology doesn’t just filter water; it transforms it. Our California Compliant BOROUX foundation.™ filters address the chlorine, chloramines, microplastics, and Class 1 Nominal Particulates in your water, ensuring your water is as pristine and refreshing as nature intended.

Disinfectant Reduction¹

While disinfection is essential for killing harmful microbes in water, the process can pose potential health risks commonly found in treated municipal water supplies. They form when chlorine or other disinfectants react with natural organic matter.

Health Risks

Disinfectants can increase the risk of cancer and reproductive issues. Filtering these contaminants ensures optimal drinking water quality.

Common Contaminants
  • Chloramine (respiratory issues)
  • Chlorine (digestive problems)

Microplastics and Nominal Particulate Class I Average Reduction Up to 98.9%¹

Microplastics, particulates and chlorine can enter your water through runoff from manufacturing plants, plastic degradation, and other industrial activities. They are pervasive in urban and industrial areas.

Health Risks

Exposure to these toxins can cause a range of health problems including cancers, hormonal disruptions, and organ damage. Ensuring your water is free from these toxins protects your long-term health.

Common Contaminants
  • Microplastics(BPA) (hormone disruptor)
  • Class I Particulates (digestive problems)
