Water filtration might not be a very exciting topic, and water filtration systems do not go on display in your home and attract envying stares. However, when it comes to the health of you, your family, and your home, water filtration becomes a very important (yet confusing) topic.
There is a lot of conflicting information available, designed to drive sales of substandard filtration or salt softening devices. Our goal has always been to inform people. The objective information agrees with what we do because we have built our products to support the facts - we have never attempted to twist the facts in order to support a cheaply made or ineffective product.

1. Many Water Filtration Companies are Fly-by-Night and the Products Do Not Work Properly and Do Not Last Long (Especially if Your District Uses Chloramine)
EWS has been engineering the highest quality water filtration systems since 1987. Water filtration is not a gimmick to us. It is not a joke or something that can be trusted to a fly-by-night company. There are thousands of substances in our city water, including chlorine, pesticides, jet fuel, prescription drugs, lead, chromium-6...you name it, it's in our municipal water supply. And you're drinking it, cooking with it, giving it to your pets and plants, and showering in it.
Granted, the municipalities do a fine job of lowering the amounts of each substance down to an accepted, government mandated level and they load the water with disinfectants like chlorine or chloramine to ensure our water does not contain bacteria or harmful microbes.
However, there is no such thing as an acceptable amount of pesticides or jet fuel or prescription drugs in the water you drink and bathe in. It is also not acceptable to be inhaling and absorbing chlorine or chloramine while you shower and bathe. It is also not acceptable to be replacing a filter every few months because the quality and performance is just not there. With EWS units, we use USA-made, full bed depth filters for maximum performance and filtration capability not found anywhere else in our industry. EWS sink unit filters may be replaced every 1-2 years. EWS whole home water filtration systems only require filtration replacement every 7-10 years.
Furthermore, all those sink attachment filters, pitcher filters, fridge filters, and others are not effective against chloramine. Over 20% of water treatment facilities in the USA use chloramine instead of chlorine, and chloramine requires a special filtration media to ensure your water is filtered, clean, and safe for consumption.

2. Multi-Media Tanks Are Not What They Seem
Do not be fooled by the latest trends in water filtration. Here's an example: there is no such thing as a good multi-media filtration system. The amount of each filtration media needed to properly filter the water would mean that the filtration tanks would have to be at least 16 feet tall. Not a single multi-media tank on the market is over 6 feet tall, which means they're 10 feet short of giving you the healthy water you think you're buying.

3. Real Saltless Softening and Conditioning Technology is Hard to Find

EWS addresses water hardness by way of our Increased Calcite Nucleation (ICN) conditioner, which has been in use for over 24 years. This ensures that hardness minerals (naturally-found calcium and magnesium) do not stick to each other and form hard scale build-up in your pipes, water heaters, or on surfaces. Another bonus is that you're leaving the natural minerals in the water, which is what gives it that delicious mineral water taste like bottled spring waters. Furthermore, you will be able to use less soaps and detergents to effectively clean your clothes and dishes. The water that dries on surfaces will leave a soft, powdery mineral residue, but will not be the hard scale spots you will see in untreated water.
Do not be fooled by those saying the ICN does not function. In reality, it is the best option for salt-free "softening" out there. It is not the only option, but based on performance and longevity, it is our best. The ICN has been tested independently and has been in use worldwide for several decades.

4. The Majority of Water Filtration Systems are Made Cheaply Overseas and Are Designed Around Cheap Prices - The Result? Low Quality, Low Value
Our products are more expensive for no other reason than the quality and time that goes into each unit. EWS has often been called "the Sub-Zero or Wolf of water filtration." We do not have an advertising budget. We do not have multiple layers of distribution that cause layers of needless price increases. Our product line is available in over 700 high-end kitchen and bath showrooms nationwide. You will not find our products in big-box retailers, nor do we sell door-to-door.
There is no magic to EWS quality and performance. It is simply a result top notch engineering, stringent testing, and high standards.
EWS is the ONLY water filtration manufacturer to be recognized and showcased by the building trades - IAPMO, DPHA, NAHB, and more - and trusted by home builders, contractors, and plumbers nationwide. Our focus is on proper application of each unit based on each individual's needs and preferences, and delivering the quality and value each customer expects.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, feel free to contact EWS customer service.
