What's Really in Your Water - and What We Remove
Even if your tap water looks clear and passes municipal standards, it likely contains concerning levels of contaminants that can impact your health over time.
Municipal water treatment plants were designed decades ago to prevent waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid. They do an excellent job with that mission. However, they were not designed to remove:
These modern contaminants require advanced filtration technology - the kind found in pH Prescription systems.
Contaminant Reduction
pH Prescription systems reduce up to 99% of 15+ major contaminant categories including fluoride, lead, PFAS, chlorine, and more.

Understanding what's in your water is the first step to choosing the right filtration system
If you're on city water, you have the right to know what's in it:
For comprehensive analysis, we recommend testing at your tap:
We offer free water quality consultations and can help you interpret your water report and recommend the right system.
Get Free Water AssessmentPrivate wells are not regulated by the EPA - testing is your responsibility:
Well water is susceptible to bacteria, sediment, and naturally occurring contaminants. We recommend pairing whole-home filtration with UV disinfection for complete protection.
See Recommended Systems →No single filtration method removes everything. That's why pH Prescription systems use multiple complementary technologies in sequence to address the full spectrum of contaminants.
Heavy metals, chlorine, bacteria control, scale prevention
Fluoride, PFAS, VOCs, pharmaceuticals, pesticides
Fine particulates, water restructuring, electromagnetic properties
Alkaline pH, magnesium restoration, balanced hydration
Optional Add-Ons for Maximum Protection:
For drinking water: removes 95-99% of virtually all contaminants, including dissolved solids
For well water: eliminates 99.999% of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa without chemicals
