Zuvo Water Purator [Compact Water Purification System, 5-Stage Filtration, UV Light]

Water purification is big business. There are filters for your faucets, filters for your fridge, and filters for your portable water bottles. Oh yeah, and all of those bottled water manufacturers are out there touting their reverse osmosis ultra-clean technologies that remove everything from water except the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. With all of this filtering going on it’s enough to make the average Joe never want to drink from the tap again. Well, if you fall into the category described above, you just might be interested in the Zuvo Water Purator.

As we all know, our tap water isn’t really that pure. Aside from all of the dissolved minerals that are naturally occurring, there might be things like pharmaceuticals and heavy metals that could cause you to have a bad day. According to the manufacturers, bottled water is typically no safer or healthier than tap water, and the plastic bottles eventually end up in a landfill somewhere. And with pitcher filters, your water is only as clean as the filter you use. The Zuvo Water Purator uses a patented Puration process that uses nature’s own cleansing process right in your kitchen.

The five step filtration method uses Ozonation, Ultraviolet (UV) Light, Photo-oxidation, Filtration with lead removal and Post-filtration UV. The combination of these steps treats the water and creates contaminant reduction of: Lead 99%, Cysts 99.98%, Chlorine Taste/Odor 99% and Sacchararmocyces/Cerevisiae 99.9%, it even works on hard water. I don’t know about you, but I personally like cysts in my water. It gives it a nice earthy quality.

Zuvo claims that a taste test revealed that Zuvo water was chosen 7 times out of 7 over tap water. The filter is designed to last up to six months and the UV lamp is designed to last up to three years. The Zuvo can be mounted above or below your counter and is available for $199.99 at www.smarthome.com.
