When it comes to water filtration, we know you’ve got plenty of options. From pitcher filters, refrigerator filters, and countertop systems to under-sink multi-stage reverse osmosis, there’s no lack of choices!

The question is, which is the best option for your home and water quality?

The first step is getting your water tested to understand better what’s in it. Not all filters reduce all types of contaminants. In fact, there are many types of filters on the market for many types of water issues.

A free water test can typically provide the information you need to understand what type of filter is best. A more thorough analysis may be necessary if the basic test comes back with irregularities or high total dissolved solids that can’t be accounted for by common minerals such as calcium, or iron.

From there you can discuss with one of our water professionals which type of filtration will provide you with the highest amount of contaminant reduction in a cost-effective way for your budget.

To learn more about how we can help you get the right water filtration system the first time for the high-quality water you and your family deserve, contact us today at 817-631-4967 or fill out the contact form for a quick response.

We not only test our units for leaks, we also test for function. Every Champ model is filled with air at 130 psi. and is tested for leaks, auto shut off function, check valve function, and drain control function. This insures that you get a system that not only is leak free, but works.

We make quality, clean water affordable.

The quality of drinking water is on everyone’s mind today. Bottled water sales have skyrocketed. Bottled water is expensive, inconvenient and of questionable quality. How do you get quality water from your own refrigerator and ice maker? How do you get quality water without breaking the bank or your back?

Puromax Delivers

  • Quality Water that exceeds most bottled water quality!
  • Quality Water for only pennies a gallon.
  • Quality Water right at your fingertips.
  • Quality Water for ice and prepared beverages.

Point of Use (Reverse Osmosis) systems

Use point-of-use (POU) systems to eliminate contaminants from water just prior to the point the water is used or consumed.

Reverse Osmosis systems force water under pressure through a semipermeable membrane and a series of pre-filters then into a storage tank that holds the treated water until it’s needed. A dedicated external faucet is included so that the stored water is only used when desired.

Why Elder's Pure Water Drinking Water Systems? Because We’re Different…

Customize Your Filtration

Pre-Filters

The pre-filters have two purposes, one is to clean the water for better consumption, and the second is to prevent the RO membrane from being fouled. The first stage filter reduces sediment materials such as sand, rust, pipe scale, and dirt. It is made of a spun polypropylene material that will take out particles down to 5 -microns.

99 Percent Contaminant Reduction

The Reverse Osmosis Membrane:

This is the heart of the Machine, and the great protector. The membrane is a replication of human or animal stomach tissue, which permits the water molecule to pass through, but holds the dissolved molecules back.

great water solutions

Auto Control:

As water is produced the pressure in the storage tank increases. To stop production of water when the tank is full, an auto control valve is used in the system. The pressure in the tank is set nominally to be 2/3 of the incoming line pressure. When this ratio is reached the autovalve will close. Normal U.S. city water pressure is 60-psi, therefore the tank pressure, when water flow stops, is 40-psi. The purified water goes to the tank where it is stored at pressure as described above. The tank has a bladder in it, and on one side is air at 6-psi, initially. The initial volume of the storage tank is 4.0 gallons.

We've been using Elders for all of our water filtration & purification needs. They always do a great job. Today Randall & Grayson came out to replace filters in our inside reverse osmosis filtration system. They were very professional, very... friendly & had the job finished quickly. They gave us some options for an add on faucet for drinking water which would be separate from our regular faucet. It would give increased flow back to the main faucet. We hadn't thought about that. Good information. Also it's in the teens with windchills even lower. They came out and were even a few minutes early. Bravo. I would highly recommend them for all your water needs.read more

I had Elder’s install a soft water and carbon filter system into my home 2 years ago.Install went great and my wife and I have been happy with the system.But, having had several systems in other homes in the past, I wasn’t really feeling that... slick feeling on the skin that I had felt in other systems and it kinda bugged me that maybe there was something not right with the system.2 years later, to make sure I was satisfied, THE OWNER came back to our house and checked the whole system.He water tested all the faucets and showed that the water softness was there and they all showed the same results.I would 100% recommend Elder’s Pure Water to anybody looking to install a water treatment system.read more

The very next morning, Chase showed up with my new system and installed it within a couple hours. This system made a world of difference.

The install tech showed up exactly on... time to install a new softener/ro filter for our house, and did an excellent job. Including a trip to home Depot for a fitting, a bag of salt, and an extension cord for my new softener, the install took about 3 hours which I thought was incredibly fast.Really appreciated the great service and very fair pricing.

What is not removed by reverse osmosis?

What is not removed by reverse osmosis may surprise some. While RO filters will reduce a wide range of contaminants from your water, it will not reduce some pesticides, solvents, volatile organic chemicals VOCs (like chlorine and radon), dissolved gases (ammonia, carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide), and organic contaminants (such as formaldehyde, methanol, acetonitrile, methyl ethyl ketone, etc.).

How much water does reverse osmosis waste?

Reverse osmosis wastes on average about 4 gallons of water per gallon made. If you use 3 gallons a day for drinking, cooking and internal consumption, that means you will waste about 12 gallons, making a reverse osmosis system about 25% efficient. Comparatively, a washing machine and dishwasher use electricity and hot water (which takes energy to heat) and waste every gallon of water they use.
