1. Hard Water can have which effects in your life:
Water is described as being “Hard” when it contains magnesium and calcium. These minerals, act like tiny rocks that crystallize to form build-up in pipes and appliances (scale). They also combine with soaps and detergents to form soap curds (soap scum) that builds up on (and damages) fabrics, skin and hair.
2. A good water conditioner will provide which of the following:
When water has been “softened and conditioned,” minerals are removed through a process known as “ion exchange”. The chlorine in the water is also filtered out. Once these contaminants have been removed, water is less likely to cause damage to plumbing, appliances, skin and hair.
3. A good whole home water treatment system will save you money in which of these areas:
Installing a whole home water treatment system is the only way to ensure the best quality water for your home and your family where you are in control, all of the time.
4. Most municipal water systems enlist this method to kill bacteria in the water that comes through your tap:
Chlorine and chloromine provide a relatively inexpensive means of killing organic materials that occur in source water supplies. However, some by-products of the chlorination process may, in fact, be carcinogenic. Furthermore, some studies suggest that chlorimine may be changing the chemical composition of water, making it more corrosive, and therefore more likely to become contaminated with lead. Once killed, the organic material remains in the distribution system and is not filtered out.
5. Bottled water is subject to the same safe drinking water standards as a Kinetico certified home water treatment system:
Bottled water is not subject to the stringent testing and certifications required and met by Kinetico reverse osmosis drinking water systems.
6. Chlorine in water, when heated, turns to vapour in our showers and poses a health risk:
Because chlorine vapourizes at a lower temperature than water, levels of this chemical can be as much as 50% higher than would be found in tap water. Breathing this vapour ( called trihalomethane ) also allows it to pass directly into the bloodstream.
7. Hot water attracts more lead from pipes than cold water:
Hot water can demonstrate higher levels of lead due to the fact that it can dissolve and hold more of this element in suspension.
8. Municipal water filtration plants filter out all health effect contaminants:
Municipal water treatment kills disease-causing pathogens through the chlorination processes employed. It does not, however, filter those pathogens out. Furthermore, industrial, pharmaceutical and agricultural contaminants are also not filtered out at any stage.
9. Municipal water testing yields immediate results, ensuring a constant supply of safe water:
While municipalities do test regularly, testing for many pathogens can take up to 24 hours to complete. This leaves water supplies at constant risk as demonstrated by hundreds of boil water alerts annually in Canada.
10. The amount of lead in tap water is dependent upon the source of that water:
Lead is seldom present in source water. Water becomes contaminated with this element through pipes in the delivery system and plumbing and solder within the home.
11. A Kinetico water purifier (PureFecta) will eliminate which of these unnecessary and potentially dangerous substances:
Kinetico Reverse Osmosis systems combine patented, certified contaminant extraction filters with pressurized semi-permeable R/O membranes allowing only purer water to flow through, keeping contaminates safely away from your tap.
12. All reverse osmosis systems are basically the same:
Reverse Osmosis (R/O) systems vary greatly in several important ways. Ease of use, safety shut offs, amount of “waste water” generated and degree of purification (which is dependent upon the quality and certification level of the membrane system) are all important factors to consider when choosing an R/O system.
13. The Kinetico PureFecta Drinking Water System filters out bacteria and viruses up to:
This combination medical-grade virus and bacteria filter eliminates 99.99% of viruses and 99.99999% of bacteria.
14. Unlike typical reverse osmosis drinking water systems, a Kinetico water purifier (PureFecta) has certifications for contaminant extraction beyond where all others leave off. This would include all the contaminants mentioned within the quiz:
Kinetico is the only water treatment manufacturer in the industry that has a water purifier certified under NSF International testing protocol for e-coli bacteria, cysts, algae, cryptosporidium, Anthrax, Small Pox, Corona Virus, MTBE fuel chemicals, fertilizers and so much more….
