Water Filtration
Let us install a high quality five stage RO system to completely remove and eliminate any of the forever chemicals, lead, etc. We also provide carbon conditioning systems that will also reduce and or eliminate harmful chemicals and other contaminants.
Thirsty for Clean Water? Las Vegas, known for its vibrant nightlife and stunning desert landscapes, also faces unique challenges when it comes to water quality. From mineral deposits to potential contaminants, ensuring a clean and safe water supply is crucial for both residents and businesses. That's where our expert team comes in.
Forever Chemicals in Las Vegas' Water Supply
Recent news reports have highlighted the presence of "forever chemicals" (PFAS), Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), fluoride, and other potentially harmful substances in Las Vegas' water supply.
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances):
These man-made chemicals are incredibly persistent in the environment, hence the "forever" moniker. They've been linked to various health issues, including:
- Cancer
- Immune system problems
- Liver damage
- Developmental issues in children
PFBA:
A specific type of PFAS that has shown resistance to many traditional water treatment methods.
Fluoride:
While added to water to prevent tooth decay, excessive fluoride intake can lead to:
- Dental fluorosis (white spots or streaks on teeth)
- Skeletal fluorosis (bone pain and stiffness)
Other Contaminants:
Depending on the source of the water, other contaminants may be present, such as:
- Heavy metals (lead, arsenic)
- Bacteria
- Pesticides
How Our Water Filtration Systems Can Help
Understanding Filtration Types
- Reverse Osmosis (RO): Highly effective at removing a wide range of contaminants, including PFAS, PFBA, fluoride, and heavy metals.
- Distillation: Another effective method that purifies water by boiling it and collecting the condensed steam.
- Activated Carbon: Effective at removing chlorine, taste, and odor, but may have limited effectiveness against some PFAS and other emerging contaminants.
- Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): Can remove some PFAS, but its effectiveness varies depending on the specific compounds.
Choosing the Right System
- Consider your specific concerns: If your primary concern is PFAS, an RO system is generally recommended.
- Research and compare: Look for systems certified by independent organizations like NSF International to ensure they meet specific performance standards.
- Professional Installation: For complex systems like RO, professional installation is often recommended.
Maintenance
- Regular filter changes: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for filter replacements.
- System maintenance: Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the system.
Important Considerations
- Cost: Filtration systems can range in price from relatively inexpensive to quite costly.
- Water Usage: Consider the amount of water you use and how much filtered water you'll need.
- Environmental Impact: Evaluate the environmental impact of the filtration system itself and the disposal of used filters.
