1. Why should we switch
to Jug-Free® Water Coolers?
Our Jug-Free® systems are more convenient and cost effective than
bottled water. Like the name says, no more lifting heavy jugs. Why
get water delivered when the purification can be done in your own
home or office? We can all benefit from fewer trucks on the road.
Go JUG-FREE®!
2. How much money can we save by switching
to the new system?
Not only do you have an endless supply of fresh drinking water, but
we can also save you as much as 50% of what you are spending on
bottled water delivery now. (see
our testimonials)
Your Jug-Free® cooler system can make all your water and you enjoy
the savings and convenience of no more water bottles cluttering up
your house. (check

3. What are some of the benefits of
purified water? (RO or distilled)
Tea and coffee have more flavour. Coffee requires half as
much granules. Ice cubes are crystal clear, foods digest much better
and purified water enhances the flow of nutrients into the blood
stream. A glass of cold water tastes "clean" and “refreshing”.
Everything remains pure because there's nothing left in the water to
interfere with or change those original, natural flavours.
Appliances such as coffee makers, irons, humidifiers and
refrigerators with ice and water dispensers will last much longer if
pure water is used; there is no scale build-up as there are no
solids to accumulate. Scale is caused by calcium and magnesium in
the water and is better known as hard water.
Softeners can rid homes of hard water
for the entire home.
4. How much water should we be drinking?
Nutritionists recommend that we drink six to eight glasses of water
every day. Water is a vital nutrient for several of our body’s daily
functions. Visit our Health Information (for
more info)
5. What types of drinking water systems
does Water Solutions provide?
Water Solutions offers you a choice of Reverse Osmosis, Micro
Filtration systems and Micro-filtrations with Ultra-Violet lights. Our trained representatives will help you choose
which type of system best meets your needs and budget.
6. Do you service Jug-Free® cooler systems
on a regular basis when we rent from you?
Our filtration systems use filters that are Performance Tested and
verified by Independent Laboratory Testing, and its materials are
tested and certified by NSF International under ANSI/NSF Standard 42
to deliver healthy safe water.
7. What is NSF?
NSF International is a nationally accredited, independent, third
party certifier that validates product performance claims, qualifies
material safety, audits manufacturing procedures and reviews
literature to assure accurate advertising, product consistency and
integrity.

8. How does a Reverse Osmosis filter system
remove most impurities from water?
Firstly water goes through a sediment filter, which reduces
sediment, dirt, and rust. The next filter is a carbon filter, which
reduces odour and taste, as well as chlorine, lead, and other
metals. The third and most important filter in the process is the
membrane. Reverse Osmosis forces water under pressure through a
semi-permeable membrane, effectively reducing dissolved solids and
contaminants, producing a clear, healthier drinking water. R.O uses
no chemicals or electricity. It is considered to be the most
effective technology known for the improvement of drinking water.
9. How often do I have to change my filters
on my 4-Stage R.O 50gpd filter system?
In general, for water in urban centers we change the Pre-filters
twice per year. This would be a 5-micron sediment filter and a
5-micron carbon block. The inline post carbon filter needs to be
changed once a year, to ensure no bacteria growth. Reverse Osmosis
membranes last between 3 and 5 years in city applications.
10. Does Water Solutions do work on other
companies Reverse Osmosis drinking water systems?
Water Solutions can service most drinking water filtration and
purification systems for city applications and/or well water,
including Reverse Osmosis systems. We stock over 50 different kinds
of filters and if we do not have the exact filter in-stock we have
the resources to source the correct filter.
11. If we purchase a system, how do we know
when to change the filters? Does Water Solutions provide a reminder
service?
Water Solutions provides their customers with phone calls or emails
to advise when filter are due for a change. This provides our
customers with a “worry free” water program. Many office customers
are set up for cooler cleaning and filter changes automatically and
billed semi-annually. Only 2 bills a year from your water company.
Think of the savings..
12. Can we hook up our Reverse Osmosis
system to my fridge?
Yes, you can hook up these purification units to fridges. We
recommend you do not use copper lines. Always use plastic tubing. RO
water is considered to be hungry water since it is so pure. The
water may leach out minerals from the copper lines and cause foul
tasting Water and ice cubes.
13. I do
not have anymore room for a Reverse Osmosis System under my kitchen
sink. Can it be installed anywhere else?
RO systems can also be installed downstairs, in utility rooms, and
garages. The main criteria are we must be able to run a water line
from faucet or cooler to the water system. With RO systems, access
to a drain must also be available. The line can run up to 50 ft
away. For longer distances, Demand pumps can be added.
14. Will
Iron damage my RO system?
Yes, Iron will plug up an RO system. A water softener will remove
small amounts of iron, no more than 2 ppm. And if iron level is
higher than this, Water Solutions can supply a non-chemical Pyrollux
Iron Filter.
15. Will
My RO system work on hard water?
YES, RO systems work on hard water, but hard water does shorten the
life span of the membranes. Membranes typically last over 5 years,
but on hard water life cycle may be decreased 2-3 years.
