FAQs

Well, that depends on how you look at “OK.” Most communities meet Primary Drinking Water Standards as established by the EPA. But this water can still contain impurities you can’t taste or smell – impurities that can, potentially, be dangerous. Typically, municipal water systems use chlorine and/or chloramines that kill bacteria and other microorganisms. These harsh chemicals create dry skin and hair, and have an unpleasant taste and odors that make water less suitable for drinking, cooking and bathing. Modern Filtration transforms this water by filtering out harmful chemicals and contaminants, nasty smells and tastes to provide clean, alkaline water throughout your home.

The answer is “no.” But don’t worry.

Total dissolved solids (TDS) are the inorganic salts and small amounts of organic matter present in solution in water. These are usually calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium cations and carbonate, hydrogencarbonate, chloride, sulfate and nitrate anions.

Modern Filtration’s multi-stage municipal water filters use redox (oxidation-reduction) and adsorptive methods to remove dangerous contaminants from your drinking water. This technology provides us with some of the highest contaminant reduction levels in the industry.

TDS is not an accurate indicator of water quality and is not linked with adverse health issues. The primary component of TDS is simply minerals, like calcium and potassium. If you get a higher TDS reading it usually indicates higher levels of trace minerals in your water and is actually desirable.

Think about this: Bottled mineral water has TDS readings in excess of 250 ppm. Modern Filtration systems filter out chemicals, heavy metals and disinfectants in one step, leaving the healthy minerals intact. If you have a TDS reading that is way outside the recommended range, you don’t need to worry.

Modern Filtration systems are designed to be easily moved when you do. A licensed plumber or good handyman can uninstall your system in a few minutes and reinstall it for you in your new home.
