OUR TECHNOLOGY

Every drop of Endless Waters passes through a ten stage state of the art purification system. The cornerstone of the system is a dual-pass reverse osmosis system that removes virtually every impurity resulting in the purest bottled water on the market. In order to achieve our ultimate purity, our water passes through a series of pre-filters just to be good enough to enter the reverse osmosis.

10 micron pleated paper filter.

Any particles larger than 10 microns are trapped in the filter. This captures a surprising amount of sediment and grit. It doesnt take long for these filters to be the same shade of rusty brown as the inside of the water pipes that carry water to your house.

Ion Exchange (water softening)

After the 10 micron pleated paper filter removes the larger particles, the water enters the ion exchange portion of our system. This step enables us to remove the metal particles from the water, which is good not only from a purity standpoint, but important for the latter steps of the purification process to work effectively. We use a resin filled with weak positively charged potassium and sodium ions to attract and capture the high positively charged metal ions.

Activated carbon

Activated carbon is used to remove chlorine, trihalomethanes (a chlorine byproduct) and organic and volatile organic contaminants. It is through a process called adsorption that these contaminants are removed. Chlorine is one of the main taste offenders in the tap water. The chlorine is added by the water authority in order to disinfect it and keep it bacteria free on its trip through the aging pipes. The chlorine reacts with organic material in the water and causes the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs), which are a known carcinogen (cancer causing agent). Our oversized activated granular carbon bed allows our water the necessary contact time in order to remove the chlorine and its dangerous byproducts.

5 micron Carbon Block filter

Similar to the mechanical filtration in the first step, but made from activated carbon, our 5 micron carbon block filter captures any particle larger than 5 microns and removes the same stuff as the Activated Carbon step because its made from just that, Activated Carbon.

1 micron Carbon Block

filter The exact same concept as the 5 micron carbon block filters, but removes particles larger than 1 micron. At this point, our water is already purer than most bottled waters, but were just getting started.

Ultraviolet Sterilization

In order to ensure that the water we produce stays pure, and cannot become contaminated, we need to sterilize it. Rather than using chlorine employed by the water authority to disinfect (since we just took it out of our water), Endless Waters uses two chemical free disinfection methods. The first of these two methods is Ultraviolet(UV) sterilization. As the water passes through the UV chamber, the genetic material of bacteria, viruses and other biological contaminants is destroyed so that the organisms cant reproduce. The sterilized organism is removed in the Reverse Osmosis stage of purification.

Reverse Osmosis

All of the steps leading up to Reverse Osmosis are to allow the RO to work as efficiently as possible. The Reverse Osmosis by itself can produce the high quality water that Endless Waters demands. However, without all the purification steps before the RO, it would work more slowly and clog its filters quicker. Because we remove what we can before entering the RO, we can get maximum efficiency from our RO system. We challenge anyone to find bottled water more pure than Endless Waters.

Ozonation

The second of our chemical-free disinfectants is ozone. Ozone is an amazing thing. Through cold plasma discharge we can split naturally occurring oxygen(O2) molecules which then recombine to a high energy state Ozone(O3). The ozone dissipates from the water due to its 18 minute half-life, leaving nothing but oxygen behind. However, while in the high energy state, Ozone is 1500 times more powerful that chlorine as an oxidant meaning our water stays free of contamination. Recirculation The only substance our water comes into contact with after it has been purified is stainless steel. The stainless steel holding tanks and recirculation loop ensure that nothing can leach into our water and that there can be no cross contamination of our finished product. The water in the holding tanks is constantly circulated and ozone is added to maintain the sterile environment. Bottling The stainless steel state of the art bottling line sanitizes, disinfects and rinses the bottles before filling with our high purity water. You can be sure that once the cap goes on the bottle, there is nothing but clean-tasting super purified Endless Waters inside.
