What is a micron filter? Micron filters remove dirt, debris, and even microscopic particles from water. The pore size of a filter cartridge is measured in microns. The smaller the micron rating, the finer the particulate removed. Which size micron filter you need depends on the size of the smallest particle that needs filtering from your water. A 5-micron filter, for example, removes particles as small as 5 microns. Anything smaller passes through the pores. Sediment filters are the most common type of micron filter. Sediment filters are similar to screen doors that allow air in and keep bugs out, except the

A cup of great coffee starts with the water. The spicy, earthy notes of a Sumatra are quickly masked by the pungent chemical taste of chlorine or the metallic bite of iron. Coffee is over 97% water, so commitment to water quality should be no less important than your attention to your beans, grind, and contact time. In a commercial setting, attention to water quality is absolutely critical. Water quality allows for the full extraction of the flavor notes from the coffee and ensures you are delivering consistent quality to your customers. A water filtration system will also protect

Water's considered a “universal solvent” because of its ability to dissolve and absorb molecules from various substances. The amount of dissolved particles in a particular volume of water is called the total dissolved solids (TDS) level. We'll explain how you and measure and reduce the TDS level of your water. What is TDS in water? Total dissolved solids (TDS) are the amount of organic and inorganic materials, such as metals, minerals, and ions, dissolved in a particular volume of water. When a solvent, such as water, encounters soluble material, particles of the material are absorbed into the water. TDS in

Reverse Osmosis is a technology that is used to remove a large majority of contaminants from water by pushing the water under pressure through a semi-permeable membrane. Understanding Reverse Osmosis Reverse Osmosis, commonly referred to as RO, is a process where you demineralize or deionize water by pushing it under pressure through a semi-permeable Reverse Osmosis Membrane. Osmosis To understand the purpose and process of Reverse Osmosis you must first understand the naturally occurring process of Osmosis. Osmosis is a naturally occurring phenomenon and one of the most important processes in nature. It is a process where a weaker saline solution

Over 90% of Hellenic households use hard water as their household water supply. Hard water is one of the most prevalent and frustrating water quality issues a homeowner can face. From destroyed plumping to higher energy bills to sticky skin and lifeless hair, hard water is a nightmare to live with.  What is hard water?  Hard water is water with an abundance of mineral content, specifically calcium and magnesium. This mineral-rich water causes devastating effects on household appliances. Water hardness minerals resist dissolution and seek to return to a hardened form. When hard water is heated, calcium ions form

A water softener removes minerals that create water hardness, one of the most common water quality problems a homeowner encounters. Hard water destroys appliances, leaves filmy soap scum across bathrooms and kitchens, and dries out hair and skin. With over 90% of the Hellenic territory relying on hard water for their cooking, cleaning, and bathing, water softeners serve a vital purpose. A water softener saves you from replacing prematurely ruined water heaters, scaly faucet heads, and hours and hours of cleaning up soapy residue. Investing in a water softener saves you time, energy, and money, and protects your home
