According to a survey conducted by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, from 2000 through 2015 consumption of bottled water rose by 120%.

News reports of lead contamination, leaking underground gasoline storage tanks, industrial pollution and distrust of additives like chlorine and fluoride have led many to<\/p>\n<p>question the purity of their well and municipal water supplies. Buying bottled water is expensive. Business Insider calculated that bottled water is costing you about 2,000 times more per gallon that what you pay for tap water. The good news is you don\u2019t have to buy expensive bottled water to enjoy safe, refreshing water right at home or when you are on the go. An APEX reverse osmosis system makes purified water that often rivals what you are drinking from those expensive bottles!<\/p>\n<h3>What is an APEX reverse osmosis filtration system?<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at the APEX MR-6051 UV Ray Disinfectant Reverse Osmosis system. This omplete water purification system combines the benefits of reverse osmosis filtration with ultraviolet disinfection, making it the most effective water purification system in its class. The MR-6061 has five different stages of water filtration plus a final ultraviolet disinfection unit to create pure, safe drinking water. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The pre-filter removes tiny particles of rust, sand, mineral scale and even insect parts that contaminate the water supply.<\/li>\n<li>Water passes through two solid block activated carbon filter cartridges that remove chlorine, tastes, odors, carcinogens, pesticides and industrial chemicals.<\/li>\n<li>Next, the water is forced through the spiral-wound reverse osmosis membrane that removes heavy metals, nitrate, salts and dissolved solids. Even parasite cysts (Cryptosporidium and Giardia) are removed by the membrane.<\/li>\n<li>The water gets a final polishing by flowing through a granular activated post-filter that removes all traces of tastes and odors.<\/li>\n<li>The last stage exposes the water to disinfecting ultraviolet light, killing harmful microbes like bacteria, cysts, viruses, mold and algae.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>After passing through the filtration system your water will be free of chemical and biological contaminants including:[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Bad tastes and odors<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Heavy metals like lead, copper and cadmium<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Radon<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Volatile organic compounds like benzene and gasoline<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Nitrate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Carcinogenic disinfection byproducts (THMs)<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Fluoride<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Sulfates and chlorides<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Sodium<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Bacteria, mold and parasites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1519208545697{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6899&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6900&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6901&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6902&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Immediate benefits of an APEX reverse osmosis filter<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to protecting you and your family\u2019s health from heavy metals and chemical contamination you\u2019ll notice these immediate benefits:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1519207353538{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"fli\">Water tastes clean and refreshing<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\">Fill your own water bottles for pennies<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\">No musty odors<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\">No chlorine smells<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\">Coffee and tea tastes better<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\">Health and sports drinks dissolve quickly and taste better<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\">Coffee makers last longer (no damage cause by mineral scale)<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\">Clear ice cubes<\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\">Prepared foods will taste better\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.finecooking.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(FineCooking.com)<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"fli\">No more struggling with heavy jugs or cases of water bottles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6897&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1519207863445{border: 5px double #e7e6e6 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Installation is easy!<\/h3>\n<p>APEX reverse osmosis filtration systems are easy to install.
