The Company History The Company History
The Company was founded in December, 1970, to become the premier manufacturer of high quality drinking water treatment devices that reduce a wide range of contaminants of health concern and provide the peoples of the world with the best quality drinking water available at an affordable price. Today the company is an industry leader and the world's largest manufacturer of compressed solid carbon block filters.
By 1974, the company had developed new and advanced technology to manufacture solid carbon block filters. The technology offers superior effectiveness in reducing contaminants of health concern, and many of its products have been tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for the reduction of one of the widest range of contaminants under NSF/ANSI Standard No. 53, Health Effects. In addition to being certified under NSF/ANSI Standard No, 53, the company's filters are certified under NSF/ANSI Standard No. 42, Aesthetic Effects.

There are hundreds of companies that sell drinking water systems for the treatment of various contaminants. Although most companies make devices that can remove chlorine from water, only thirty-one (31) of those companies offer drinking water treatment systems that are certified by NSF to reduce Trihalomethanes (a disinfection by-product known to cause cancer in humans and miscarriages) under NSF's Standard No. 53, Health Effects (February, 2000 Listings). And, only three companies have devices certified by NSF to reduce PCBs, and only one company, this one, offers products certified to reduce MTBE, a gasoline additive classified as a possible human carcinogen, which has been found in drinking water coast-to-coast.
Their Drinking Water Systems have been widely accepted and used throughout the world by: hospitals; major universities and schools; laboratories; restaurants; the U.S. military; foreign embassies; major airlines; and more importantly by more than three million consumers. Customer satisfaction and customers sharing how good they feel about the product with others has been the hallmark of their success.
