Natursorb Water Treatment

Water Treatment Services

At Natursorb Water Treatment, we're committed to bringing our customers the water purification systems they need for clean, safe water. We provide both water softeners and water filtration systems to ensure your home's specific water issues are addressed. Oftentimes, customers are unclear about the difference between water softeners and water filtration systems, and think if they have one, they don't need the other. Unfortunately, in many cases that simply isn't true! Water softeners and home water filtration systems are two different kinds of water treatment processes designed to treat different water quality issues. The great news is Natursorb Water Treatment offers both, so no matter what your water treatment service needs, we're here to help!

Removing Chloramines from Water

Chloramine, which consists of a mixture of chlorine and ammonia, is added to the water of many cities as a substitute for free chlorine. It is often referred to in the plural, as chloramines, because it can take on a number of forms according to the pH and mineral content of the water.

The whole reduction discussion for chloramines can become quite complex, but the main thing you need to know is that chloramine is removed from water with essentially the same strategies that are used to remove chlorine. This means that carbon filtration is the best removal method, and, contrary to urban legends, filter carbon does indeed remove chloramine. The problem is that it takes more carbon and more contact time to do the job. In practical terms this means that if your city disinfects your tap water with chloramines you’ll need to get a larger and better carbon filter than you would need if chlorine alone were used.

For drinking water you can consider high quality carbon units like Multi-Pure, or double and triple units that use lots of carbon. And, contrary to another widely promoted myth, reverse osmosis units do remove chloramine. In fact, they do it well, because any good RO unit contains a couple of carbon filters and the water gets an extra slow pass through the first one.

In choosing carbon for chloramine removal,  a specially prepared carbon called “catalytic” carbon is far superior to regular carbon.

Catalytic carbon is a specifically processed grade of filter carbon that is designed especially for, among other things, exceptional chloramine removal. On our site, the brand name for catalytic carbon is Centaur.

To remove chloramines, look for products in these categories:

Reverse Osmosis Units — Reverse osmosis is especially good at chloramine reduction because of its multiple carbon filters and slow processing speed. You can request a Centaur cartridge or the Pentek specialty cartridges in our Black & White reverse osmosis units if you like.

Whole House Carbon Filters — Carbon blocks filters will do the job but have a tendency to reduce water pressure. A single larger than normal whole house carbon tank does an excellent job at removing chlorimines as long as it is large enough to give enough contact time and uses a high quality catalytic Carbon. The best carbon for this purpose is centaur carbon and the only carbon we use in our systems for chlorimine removal.

No Salt Water Softeners

High levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium in your water (aka hard water) can be harmful to your plumbing and appliances. But with a eco-friendly water softener from Natursorb Water Treatment, we can eliminate your hard water issues. Unlike traditional water softeners, our systems create no harmful byproducts and waste no water, ensuring you get the softened water you need without the negative effects on the ecosystem. In fact, with our affordable no-salt water softener systems, you get green technology at less cost than the old technology! Keep in mind that while our salt free water softeners stop hard water issues, they don't treat other water pollution problems.
