Reverse Osmosis: High Technology for Clean Water
How safe is tap water?
The water you drink every day doesn't have to "taste funny" or "smell bad" to contain harmful toxic chemicals.
Water treatment facilities in modern cities are geared to prevent waterborne diseases. In addition, treatment plants add high levels of chlorine to water that can react with organic matter present to form toxic, carcinogenic organic compounds known as Trihalomethanes (THMs). A recent Environmental Protection Agency survey identified more than 700 potentially hazardous chemicals in U.S. water supplies of major cities.
A wealth of information and misinformation is available about water quality. Boresow's Water Company believes that you shoul investigate and decide for yoursefl what's best for your family. Whatever you decide, we are pleased to provide excellent care and service to our family of clients -and all have made Boresow their trusted partner in clean water.

Clean Drinking Water
These are a variety of techniques that Boresow's Water recommends for your home or business water filtration system:
- Reverse Osmosis is the best process for removing impurities from your drinking water. Reverse Osmosis systems use normal water pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane. This process removes contaminants and flushes them to the drain. (more about reverse osmosis...)
- Carbon filtration removes chlorine and chloramines that the municipal water department adds to the water. Multiple carbon filters also improve taste and remove odor. (more about carbon filtering...)
- Pre-filtration of the tap water traps dirt, rust, and various other particles.
