How is HealthWay's DFS technology different from UV light purifiers?
- UV light purifiers use UV-C light, also known as germicidal light. It harms cells by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, which either kills them or leaves them incapacitated. These cells have to be exposed to UV-C light for long periods of time for this to work.
- One of the biggest concerns with UV-C light is that it can produce various levels of ozone. Even small levels of ozone can cause lung irritation, chest pain, shortness of breath, and coughing.
- Disinfecting Filtration System (DFS) technology uses a high-energy grid, creating a microbiostasis condition that prevents anything from being able to live or grow inside the filter. DFS is one of the only technologies proven to capture 99.99% of particles as small as 0.007 microns in size. This includes harmful viruses, mold, fungi, bacteria, VOCs, and ultrafine particles.
- DFS achieves total system efficiency, meaning every air purifier achieves greater than 99.97% efficiency at 0.3 microns. HealthWay units are individually tested to meet and exceed HEPA industry standards and have been 3rd party tested to uphold rigorous standards such as Intertek Zero Ozone and EN 1822.

Contaminated Water Questions:
How can my water get contaminated?
Water can be contaminated in many different ways. Hazardous minerals and manmade chemicals can leech into groundwater as it rushes towards reservoirs, while rusty pipes and bacterial growth can contaminate water from within your home. Advanced Water Treatment can provide comprehensive testing services to determine how your water is being contaminated, and how best to fix it.
Water Filter & Softener Questions:
What is the difference between a water softener and a water filter?
Water softeners are a type of water filter designed specifically to treat hard water. Water softeners can easily remove the minerals that cause hard water, such as calcium and magnesium, but are less effective against other types of contaminants such as sulfur, iron, and chlorine. Different types of water filters work best agaisnt different contaminants, and Advanced Water Treatment can help you determine which type of filter is best for your home.
Do I need a water filter or water softener?
The specific type of water filter you need depends on the problems you are facing. If your pipes have low water pressure and are covered in mineral buildup, or if your dishes and laundry come out cloudy and spotty, a water softener would be your best option. However, if your water tastes strange and is off-color, a water filter may be a better choice. Our technicians can help you determine what water filter would be the best choice for your home.
What are some advantages of water softening?
Water softeners can treat the hard water entering your home, which can result in cleaner and healthier pipes, shinier dishes, and cleanly-washed clothing. If you want an affordable and effective water softener for your home, Advanced Water Treatment can help.
How often do I need to replace my water filter?
While the exact replacement rate for a filter depends on how often it is used and the quality of the water it is treating, most filters should be replaced at least once a year. Filters that are not replaced on a regular schedule can clog up and degrade, reducing their efficacy and potentially allowing contaminants to enter your home. Advanced Water Treatment offers convenient filter replacement schedules to help you ensure that your water filters remain as effective as possible.
What is water filtration?
Water filtration is the process of eliminating hazardous substances from your water supply. Most water filters are applied to your home’s plumbing systems, in order to collect contaminants before the water exits your pipes. There are many different types of water filters, such as water softeners, reverse osmosis filters, and UV purifiers, which all specialize in eliminating specific contaminants. Advanced Water Treatment can help you determine what type of water filter is best for your home.

How do I know if I need a water treatment system?
A water treatment system is useful protection for any home, but if you live in an area at risk of water contamination, or if you encounter a strange taste and odor within your water, water treatment may be required. Our technicians would be happy to help you determine if your water is contaminated using a simple water test, and if it is, they can work with you to determine what water treatment system is best for you.
How do I know which system I need?
There are many different types of water treatment systems, such as water softeners, reverse osmosis filters, activated carbon filters, and more. Different filters are designed to treat different types of contaminants, so the best way to determine what kind of system you need is by finding out what contaminants you are facing. Advanced Water Treatment’s professionals can help you diagnose your problems with a simple water test, and will work with you to determine what treatment system is best for you.
Water Testing Questions:
What are signs I need to have my water tested?
If you sense anything out of the ordinary about your water, such as discoloration or a strange taste, your water is likely contaminated. Even if you do not notice anything wrong with your water, it is generally a good idea to schedule a water test at least once a year, in order to diagnose any contaminants that are colorless and odorless. Advanced Water Treatment can help you schedule convenient and comprehensive water testing.
Should I have my water tested?
If you notice something off about your water, such as a bad taste or a strange odor, it would be best to schedule a water test to determine if your water is contaminated. Even if your water seems normal, a water test can detect contaminants that may be invisible to the naked eye. Advanced Water Treatment’s water testing services are fast, convenient, and affordable, so if you need help with your water do not hesitate to call.
Why is water testing important?
Water testing is important because it can catch contaminants invisible to the naked eye.

Hard Water Questions:
What is hard water?
Hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium. Hard water is not harmful to people’s health, but it can cause steady buildups of mineral deposits that can clog pipes, cloud your dishes, and damage your laundry. Advanced Water Treatment can help you treat hard water with our effective and affordable water softeners.
What causes hard water?
Hard water is caused when water absorbs large amounts of calcium and magnesium. This usually occurs when groundwater flows through underground mineral deposits, eroding and absorbing them in the process. Hard water can be a nuisance, but Advanced Water Treatment’s water softeners can quickly and effectively clean your water before it reaches your faucets.
Reverse Osmosis Questions:
How does a Reverse Osmosis system work?
Reverse Osmosis is a type of water filtering process in which water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane at high pressure. The membrane is designed to allow the water’s hydrogen and oxygen molecules to flow through, while blocking smaller molecules like chlorine and lead from entering. Reverse Osmosis water filters are very effective at blocking a wide range of common contaminants, and Advanced Water Treatment can help you find the perfect model for your home.
What is the main difference between whole-house and RO systems?
Whole-home activated carbon filters and reverse osmosis filters are similar in that they both clean water by forcing it through a membrane. However, activated carbon filters are most effective at eliminating chlorine and require less maintenance, while reverse osmosis filters can remove many other contaminants such as lead and bacteria, but require more upkeep and filter replacement. Advanced Water Treatment can help you determine which type of filter is best for your home.
Well Water Questions:
Is well water safe?
Well water can be just as safe as municipal water, but wells are not federally regulated and can be exposed to more issues over time. If you do not regularly maintain your well’s filters, your water may become contaminated by dirt, minerals, or even hazardous chemicals. Advanced Water Treatment offers water testing to help you determine if your well is safe, and can help you install filters to ensure your water remains clean.
How often should I test my well water?
While there are no official regulations for well water testing, the CDC recommends that you test your well at least once a year for dissolved solids and irregular pH levels. Advanced Water Treatment offers professional water testing services, and our technicians can help you determine what problems your well is facing and how to treat them.
