First, unlike many flat-top units, all of our devices are mechanical, not electronic. That means that if you should experience any unexpected problems, they can be fixed by you, simply and inexpensively. And, Pure 1 products, unlike flat-tops, are almost completely modular, so that changing a system design does not mean starting from scratch. Only Pure 1 offers the options of ozonation, chlorination, and iodination for users concerned about biological contamination. In addition to these savings, there are no deliveries to accept, no heavy bottles to lift, store, and keep track of, and no human contamination to foul the water.
Bottled water is generally very good quality-in the bottle.
But once the seal is broken, the bottle is subject to many different risks of contamination. Bacteria and other pathogens are introduced onto the outside of the bottle from the hands of the many people handling it, and then migrates into your water supply. Pure 1 systems are sealed and filtered, and are not open to human or air contamination. But, unlike Pure 1, these coolers treat the water first and then store it. The stored water is subject to post-treatment contamination and algae growth.
