According to the Los Angeles Times, the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that California is among 21 states with “very high” COVID levels in its wastewater. Including California, there is Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming and our nation’s capital, Washington D.C.. Wastewater analyses reveal that coronavirus levels have exceeded last summer’s peak, highlighting the rapid spread of the new FLiRT strains. This unsettling news serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining clean and safe water in our homes.

Discover how advanced filtration systems, specifically Reverse Osmosis (RO) and iFilters UV Systems, effectively remove these disease stricken contaminants from tap water.

Understanding Water Contamination

Tap water can harbor various viruses and bacteria, posing significant health risks to you and your family. Common waterborne viruses include enterovirus, norovirus, and hepatitis A, which can cause symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, and liver infections. Now with the COVID virus making its rounds in our tap water, it’s more vital than ever to ensure our waters are safe to drink. 

Symptoms of COVID may include:

• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea

Do Water Filters Remove Bacteria and Viruses?

Water filters in various forms are extraordinarily effective against reducing contaminants such as rust, chlorine, chemicals, heavy metals, and sediments. For effective virus and bacteria removal, we recommend installing either Reverse Osmosis water systems, UV Drinking Water Systems, or Point-of-Use Ultraviolet Water Systems. 

Reverse Osmosis Systems

Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems are highly effective in purifying water by forcing it through a semipermeable membrane. Our Pro+Aqua 5-Stage Premium Reverse Osmosis System destroys 98.9% of all contaminants, including viruses and contaminants, at a molecular level. The RO membrane is crucial in this system, providing high filtration accuracy to ensure that only clean water passes through.

Pro+Aqua 5-Stage Premium Reverse Osmosis System 

RO systems are known for their efficiency in removing a wide range of pollutants, including waterborne bacteria and viruses. Our 5-stage RO system eliminates other harmful substances like heavy metals, chlorine, and pesticides, making the water safe for drinking.

UV Systems

iFilters UV Systems utilize ultraviolet light to disinfect water. UV light effectively kills viruses and bacteria by destroying their DNA, rendering them incapable of reproducing and causing infections. This method is chemical-free, making it an environmentally friendly option for water purification.

UV systems are particularly effective against viruses, including those that may be resistant to chemical disinfection methods. When combined with other filtration systems, such as RO, UV systems provide an additional layer of protection, ensuring the highest water quality.

Our iFilters UV systems combine Coconut Shell Carbon submicron filtration with a stainless steel ultraviolet purifier to filter chlorine, THMs (trihalomethanes), and volatile organic chemicals, and other contaminants our human eye can’t see.
