" Our plumber Ted box and is here installing a water purification system and -- bit easier from Kinetico about our good are you well why do we need -- water purification system in a city situation where you've got. Processed one of the that the good question you know a lot of people aren't have been misperception that just because it's city water it's not hard and in fact 85% of all homes in America have hard water doesn't matter there on city water supply or -- well so we can treat that hard water what about chlorine. Also has chlorine this particular system will dechlorinate all the water going throughout the entire home and chlorine can dry your skin can dry your hair can fade your clothing prematurely so we want to take that out yet other big thing I was always concerned about what's. Sediment in the pipes. And this looks like when he your props exactly right we brought to the samples cut away from another project. But you can see the long term effects of hardness going through your plumbing this is not styrofoam that you've stuck in -- house is actually that is actually the calcium that that comes out of the water. And scales inside of the pipe and effectively reduces your plumbing size down to this looks like about a quarter of an inch like a pencil how long you suppose it took for that to happen I'll probably a few years just a few years yeah. And that of course. Would indicate that you're getting very low water volume. Throughout the house not only that with this kind of effect can happen inside your water using appliances too and reduce their efficiency in and causing a lot of unnecessary repairs behind liquor and what kind of a system is this -- this is a whole house management system which really involves two separate components you have. It coordinator and softener. System that treats the water articles throughout the entire home that's for the water that goes on you the general purpose water for bathing for doing laundry for doing dishes. Then we also have a reverse osmosis drinking water system which is a multi stage filtration system that further purified drinking water. And then where Ted is just remove. Bit that's where you have to put in your. Your salt exactly right -- the no water softener uses a regenerate solve the salt comes in and cleans the inside of the tank. Any reports of new hardness and then. Then of course it's flushed away down during you have clean soft water a couple of at this moment. Gotcha what's the tank over Ted's head there. Well this is our new quick flo tank typically people have complained about reverse osmosis systems delivering water to the faucet somewhat slowly. So we've come out this well we actually do as we take your household water pressure and here's a good example here's but clear version of the tank so you can see how it looks inside. We take your household water pressure and actually squeezes the bladder and inside of the letters the drinking water that comes out of your faucet their household water for pressure is exerting a very strong constant force. And giving you really good deliberately -- good good delivery good volume and pressure exactly. Now how much maintenance does a system like this require well not terribly much I mean you have to periodically put salt in this system. But since this is demand operated it only operates when you're using water so it doesn't regenerate unnecessarily. And waste salt water -- your salt usage is relatively low. And then with the reverse osmosis systems you have to replace the pre filter and the pulse filter about once a year in the system shuts off with -- ones went senator."
