| | | Greetings! On March 11, 2008, a nonprofit organization called the Water Quality Association released a fact sheet dated to address the issue of pharmaceutical compounds recently detected in the water supply. It says that "filtering systems in the home provide the highest technology available for treatment of drinking water," and that even though specific performance standards have not been developed for reduction of pharmaceuticals, "many point-of-use technologies have proven effective" against some detected pharmaceutical contamination. The WGA fact sheet mentions activated carbon - a filtration medium used in PiMag water products - as an example. Activated carbon filtration is only one of several filtration technologies used in PiMag products - with others including microsponge or ceramic filters, ion exchange, copper-zinc oxidation/reduction and more. The combination of systems in each PiMag product is designed to provide highly effective filtration of a wide range of contaminants. | |
