of a high-strength Xyron plastic for corrosion resistance and temperature extremes. It provides a continuous flow of permeate water that flows 1/2 gallon per minute. The dual reverse osmosis membrane configuration ensures a high level of filtration. The product’s compact size and housing design permits multiple units to be stacked together to fit almost any installation configuration, the maker says. www.pureoflow.com


Pure Performance The PurHome X-5 is a high-capacity whole house water


filtration system. It has a 0.35 micron pre-filter and an NSF- certified KDF55 media, a combination of two dissimilar alloys, to remove more than 99% of chlorine, as well as filter heavy metals like lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals, and extends the life of the carbon stage. KDF55 also provides a bacteriastatic environment. The system has a high capacity catalytic centaur carbon that is designed to remove chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, SOCs, and THMs. The company notes that most other whole house systems use only carbon. Carbon is a must in water filtration, however, it can be a breeding ground for bacteria over time. It claims the KDF media inhibits bacteria growth and can increase carbon life as much as 300%. www.puriteam.com
