New Ways to Purify Tap Water in Homes: Latest Water Softener, Catalytic Carbon Filter, Tankless RO

While on tour making 'Home Diagnosis' Season 3, Grace and Corbett Lunsford visited the water purification experts led by Erik Bernal at Elite Water Systems to check out the new systems they've developed. See the innovations built into their Platinum 1.5 water softener and catalytic carbon filter (which now captures chloramine and can be regenerated), the tankless reverse osmosis system with built in testing of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and the Titanium whole home filter that delivers up to 10 gallons per minute.

Thanks to Kathy Cabello and Mike Marquez for answering all these questions. See their installation at the Lunsford's forever home: https://youtu.be/PgCg4c5HObc

Installing our Water Filter, Softener, Reverse Osmosis, Blu Beverage Station and Phyn Leak Detection

With before and after testing, you can see the impressive amount of details that go into this water performance system from our friends at Elite Water Systems (http://www.elitewateroftexas.com/). See the nitty gritty on testing the hardness and chlorine content of tap water, installing the Pentair Pro Elite Analyzer and programming process, the 5-filter Reverse Osmosis (RO) system, brine tanks and the salt options to consider, the Grohe Blu sparkling/chilled water station, and Phyn leak detection.

Comparetto DIY Air Cleaner Filtration Rig

My friend Neil Comparetto came up with a very effective, very inexpensive way to clean air for less than $100. It's not fancy, but it works as well or better than many high-end air purifiers and filtration products 'they' are trying to sell you. The important thing is that it's a fan and a filter, which is all you should ask for in an air purifying device- nothing that 'destroys', 'eliminates', or 'sanitizes' using 'electronics', 'UV', or 'plasma'. Neil Comparetto's a great HVAC expert if you happen to be in Virginia: https://www.facebook.com/comparettocomfortsolutions/

Tonight I interviewed Corinne Segura (https://www.mychemicalfreehouse.net/), one of my Mastermind students who helps people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (aka MCS, or Environmental Sensitivity), which she also suffers from herself.
