Safe, Clean Drinking Water with Kinetico Multi-Purpose Filtration Systems

Rapid urbanization has effects and consequences. One is the release of PFOS (Perfluorooctane Sulfonate) and PFAS (Perfluorooctanoic Acid) in drinking water. PFOS and PFOA are water and stain-resistant synthetic compounds that are difficult to break down in the environment and in the human body. Some of the health effects of PFOS/PFOA may include:

  • Developmental delays
  • Reproductive health issues
  • Neuroendocrine issues affecting the kidneys and liver
  • Cancer
  • Thyroid imbalances
  • Cardiovascular concerns

The use of a multi-purpose water filtration system such as the WH-NS MULTI-PURPOSE CARTRIDGE WITH NANOSMART® FILTRATION system helps remove broad spectrum of contaminants such as sediment, taste and odor, chlorine, chloramine, scale, microbial, lead, volatile organic compounds, and PFOS/PFOA. 

This article provides a brief overview of the specifications and product features of the WH-NS MULTI-PURPOSE CARTRIDGE system.
