READ MOREBottle-fed water coolers use reservoir technology, where water is stored inside a bottle rather than fed directly from the water supply to the dispensing tap. As water is dispensed it is displaced by air from the room, and over time the volume of potentially contaminated air increases. By the time a bottle is ready to be changed, there could be up to 19 liters of air. When a water cooler hasn’t been correctly maintained it’s not uncommon to see visible bacteria inside the bottle in the form of algae, which is a big disadvantage of bottle-fed water coolers. Standing water within an appliance provides ideal conditions for bacteria to grow. Certain types of bacteria such as Pseudomonas Aeruginosa can feed on components found in rubbers and seals present within a dispenser. Contaminants can also enter the system via the bottle feed when a bottle is changed, exposing the surface to the air or when someone touches the internal components. This opens the internal workings up to all kinds of potential contaminants, making it necessary to sanitize with strong chemicals to kill the bacteria every week.
One Green Filter systems provide a significantly more hygienic and sustainable alternative to bottle-fed water coolers. Installing a Bottleless Water Cooler or custom Water Station with RO Filtration and UV Sanitization in your office is a great way to give your employees better tasting quality water, improve your environmental footprint, and save your company lots of money!

You want to make sure your water is safe for you and your family, regardless of whether it comes from a city water system or a well-based water system. There are many ...
READ MORE1. Saves You Money
Softened water contains less mineral ions that cause buildup inside your water pipes and appliances, saving you from expensive repairs. Excessive mineral buildup shrinks the area water can move through, causing the pump pressure to increase, and requiring more energy to keep water hot or cold. The buildup can cause irreversible damage to appliances, which means more frequent repair or replacement costs for items such as your dishwasher, laundry machine, water heater, ice maker, and coffee machine.
2. Healthier Skin and Hair
Softened water protects the natural oils in your skin and hair. The mineral ions found in hard water are not soluble with soaps, making it difficult to rinse away. This leaves your skin dry, itchy, & irritated and your hair frizzy, brittle, & dull in color.
3. Brighter and Softer Clothes
Softened water dissolves into clothes easier, cleaning the clothes more effectively, while making them soft to the touch and preserving the new, fresh look and feel. With hard water, your clothes are being washed in harsh minerals that leave deposits in the fabric. Over time, the minerals will cause the colors to fade and make whites look dingy. Because soft water dissolves detergent more effectively, you use less detergent and may even choose to rid your laundry room of fabric softener all together.
4. Spend Less Time Cleaning
Softened water fully dissolves and penetrates soap, reducing soap scum that collects in your bathroom, saving the time you spend cleaning on a regular basis. Cleaning a home with hard water is very time consuming, because you are constantly re-washing dishes and laundry. You will spend countless hours a week scrubbing chalky lime and soap scum off the walls of your shower, sink and faucet.
5. Cleaner Dishes
Softened water removes minerals before they can buildup on your dishes, providing more lather and cleaning action in your dishwasher. With hard water, it doesn’t matter how many times you clean your dishes, or the type of soaps or detergents you use - your glass and silverware are left with water spots and a cloudy appearance as soon as they dry.
One Green Filter’s high capacity Whole Home Water Softener system will cut down your spending on cleaning products by 50%, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of your water heater and other appliances using water. Contact the One Green Filter Team Today! Financing Available.
READ MOREThis is the most common question our team at One Green Filter is asked. Most of the time they automatically think its mold. The “pink slime” you may find in your toilet or shower actually isn't mold, but a very common strain of airborne bacteria that's found throughout the world. The bacteria, Serratia marcescens, cause that pink or even red slime you might find in your toilet bowl, shower stall, pet’s water dish, or around other water fixtures.
The bacteria will grow in any moist location where phosphorous containing-materials or fatty substances accumulate. The bacterial colony, can appear to be fuzzy or slimy. The color range is affected by room temperatures. Sources of these substances include soap residues in bathing areas, feces in toilets, and soap and food residues in pet water dishes. Serratia can also grow in tap water in locations such as toilets in guest bathrooms where the water is left standing long enough for the chlorine residual disinfectant to dissipate. Serratia marsescens is not known to cause any waterborne diseases.
Periodic and thorough cleaning of the surfaces where the pink slime occurs, followed by disinfection with chlorine bleach appear to be the best way to control it. Scrub the surfaces where phosphorus and fatty substances, or the bacteria accumulate with a brush and a household cleanser. Then disinfect the surfaces where the slime has formed with a strong chlorine bleach solution. Leave the disinfectant solution on the affected surfaces for 10-20 minutes before thoroughly rinsing it away with clean water.
Note: Bleach should not be left in the toilet tank for prolonged periods; it will damage the rubber valves and seals inside.
READ MOREOver 15 million U.S. households obtain their drinking water from private wells 1, which are not covered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations that protect public drinking water systems. Although the United States has one of the safest drinking water supplies in the world, sources of drinking water can still become contaminated through naturally occurring chemicals and minerals (for example, arsenic, radon), local land use practices (for example, pesticides, chemicals, animal feeding operations), malfunctioning wastewater treatment systems (for example, sewer overflows), and other sources. Contamination of a private well can impact not only the household served by the well, but also nearby households using the same aquifer.
Owners of private wells are responsible for ensuring that their water is safe from contaminants. Private wells should be checked every year for mechanical problems, cleanliness, and the presence of coliform bacteria, nitrates, and any other contaminants of local concern. A local health department or water well systems professional can help ensure delivery of high-quality water from an existing well or, if needed, help locate and construct a new well in a safer area. Additional information about well maintenance and water testing is available at Healthy Water’s Well Testing page.
The presence of contaminants in water can lead to health issues, including gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders. Infants, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people whose immune systems are compromised because of AIDS, chemotherapy, or transplant medications, may be especially susceptible to illness from some contaminants.
