It is the removal of solid material and mineral content out of water by the process of filtration, desalinization, reverse osmosis and sometimes distillation. The result: Pure water.

Water is a unique chemical because it can absorb other things similar to the way a red blood cell can. It can leech minerals out of the soil. It can, in a pure state clean better than some expensive cleaners. The reason you get spots on the car or on your glasses in the dishwasher is because of the residue left over when the water evaporates. Pure water leaves no residue.

Tap water is clean, or so you think, because of the chemicals added to it. Chlorine will kill most bacteria but can make you sick. Even well water is not pure. It has higher levels of minerals in it and these can cause keloids (kidney stones) in most people who use them for long times. Some bottled waters are not as as pure as you might be led to believe. Most are nothing more than local river water run through a charcoal filter and poured into a bottle with a label on it. If you drink bottled water, make sure it reverse osmosis processed.

This removes about 99.99% of impurities.

If you have contaminated water you might want to get a water purification system. How do you know? Get a bottle of Aquafina water or any other water that is purified then taste your water and compair it to bottled water. If you like the bottled water you could get a filtration system from zero water ( the best brand) and you get what you pay for so get an expensive one.
