VeriPure^® Advantage

VeriPure Ozonation System

Unrivaled portability (Just 9 lbs. - 12" x 6" x 7")
Ozonation is the most effective bacteria killing method available
The VeriPure™ System is up to 3,200 times more effective than chlorine in killing germs
VeriPure™ System operates off very low power (30 Watts)
Water flow is instant at .5 to 1.5 gallons per minute
Zero-waste product - The VeriPure™ System has a 1 to 1 instant water ratio
VeriPure™ System reduces lead and pathogens including salmonella and E.coli
The VeriPure™ System has anti-microbial properties which disinfect while providing a pure water source
Has bacteria killing capabilities immediately out of the faucet
Ideal for disinfecting and cleaning surfaces and raw foods
Using cold water disinfecting rinse can reduce hot water energy costs
State-of-the-art L.E.D. readout built into the VeriPure™ System makes operation simple
Versatility (The VeriPure™ System is adaptable to electrical outlet, generator, car battery or solar source)
One single filter cartridge vs. multiple filters for other systems
Filter options provide 1,250 to 15,000 gallons of filtration before replacement
Fresh tasting water
Eliminates the need and expense of bottled waters. - 12" x 6" x 7")

Bulky; not portable
R.O. systems that are marketed as portable require a separate generator to pump water to the R.O. system
Slower than a standard water filtration system
R.O. does not ensure elimination of bacteria
Produces a finite amount of water product per day
Waste is a by-product of all reverse osmosis systems (A minimum of 4 gallons for every 1 gallon of clean water and up to 20 gallons per every gallon produced)
Up to 5 filters must be changed every 6 months
Many R.O. systems flush the waste water product into the hot water line which is then exposed to humans
R.O. system membranes are prone to organic fouling
After filtration with an R.O. system, water still runs the risk of contamination by running through pipes before reaching the end user
Can produce "flat" tasting drinking water
Waste water is flushed down the system
Microscopic parasites are normally removed through reverse osmosis, but any tear or imperfection in the membrane will allow impurities to pass directly into the "clean" water supply
Reverse osmosis systems are not rated to remove microorganisms unless an ultra-violet system is added
Some reverse osmosis systems do not remove chlorine
"Canister" type RO systems maintain the same filter housing year after year, subjecting it to constant high water pressure, water erosion, and wear from maintenance. Only the filter element is changed.

Not used as a stand alone system - used in conjunction with water filtration systems
Cumbersome to use
Eliminates bacteria as long as the ultra-violet bulb is strong. There is no indicator when ultra-violet bulbs need to be changed
Does not provide residual disinfection protection downstream
Bacteria can be hidden or shaded from UV light, avoiding disinfection

Bacteria withstand considerably more ultraviolet irradiation in water than in dry air. E.coli, for example, (common in the water of unprotected catchment systems), requires more UV exposure for their destruction in water than in dry air. In either case, the germicidal radiation must strike a microorganism to destroy it. This requires that the water be clear enough to allow transmission of an adequate quantity of UV energy.
Water that is naturally turbid, or that has become turbid from corrosion products formed during storage in steel tanks and liners, should be filtered before UV purification. A 5-micron filter prior to the UV lamp is recommended.
UV systems vary dramatically depending on size and power
