What is the difference between the Merlin R.O. System and the faucet-mount/pitchers?
Faucet/Pitcher filters are able to remove some contaminants from your water using granular activated carbon, or in some cases carbon blocks. Activated carbon is commonly used for dechlorination and for reducing trace and soluble materials such as organic chemicals and radon from water. These type of devices are limited to the types of contaminates that they can effectively remove from your water based upon the type and amount of carbon contained within the filter. Corrigan’s system incorporates four stages of filtration technology providing the best quality water available. The strength behind our system, the R.O. membrane, is responsible for reducing many difficult water contaminants such as arsenic, chromium, radium, and total dissolved solids. The combination of these technologies, mainly with the use of the R.O., is how Corrigan’s system can provide water some find to be better than bottled water.
