Aquasana water filtration systems featured
in historic Detroit home project
Austin, Texas –Aquasana, the award-winning maker of water filtration systems for at
home and on the go, will appear on the popular national home improvement show, “This
Old House,” May 4 on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Check local listings: www.thisoldhouse.com/tvschedule.
In the episode #3622 titled, “Fixing the Fascia,” the cast,
crew and local community tackle the renovation of a single-family brick home in
historic downtown Detroit, Mich., featuring the installation of an Aquasana
whole house filtration system and under sink system in the kitchen to improve
the overall health of the family by giving them access to clean and healthy
water from every faucet.
Drinking water quality and safety has become top of mind for
many since the water crisis in Flint, Mich., fell under a national spotlight. The
10-part PBS series includes a visit to nearby Flint to emphasize the importance
of safe drinking water and the fact that it’s not always a given.
Homeowners Frank and Tamiko Polk installed the Aquasana
EQ-600 Whole Home Filtration System with 6-year Descaler and UV Light to
provide filtered water from every tap and shower, ward against viruses and
bacteria and improve indoor air quality. Additionally, the AQ-5300 under sink filter
was installed in the kitchen to ensure removal of the highest number of contaminants
from the Polks’ drinking water for the lowest price per gallon and ease of use.
“One of our main charges at Aquasana is to help educate families
on the importance of knowing exactly what’s in your drinking water, so we were
thrilled to a part of the ‘This Old House’ Detroit project,” said Todd Bartee,
CEO at Aquasana. “As we’ve witnessed from the devastation in Flint and other
cities across the country, testing the water in your own home and using a high-quality
NSF-certified filter is the best way to guarantee the water coming out of your
tap is safe and healthy.”
Aquasana offers systems that remove the highest number of
contaminants for the lowest price per gallon on the market, and its
best-in-class water filters provide easy access to clean and healthy water. The
company’s drinking water systems are NSF-certified to remove over 99 percent of
lead as well as 67 other contaminants—10 times the number of contaminants
removed by the leading pitcher brand— including asbestos, pharmaceuticals,
chloramines, herbicides, pesticides, industrial solvents, volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and mercury. Aquasana recently became the first and only water
filter maker to receive NSF
certification for the removal of PFOA and PFOS, a component in non-stick
cookware.
