When Compromise is Acceptable, and Budget The Priority, We've Got The System

Water Fixers has been designing, manufacturing, servicing, repairing, and installing Reverse Osmosis water purification systems since 1987. We manufacture them in our warehouse located right here on the Central Coast. We serve both the residential and commercial markets, offering custom design and build services for any pure water application. The CPS series of Reverse Osmosis systems employs Chinese-made filter cartridges and components for the most budget-focused individual or company who is willing to sacrifice water purity and safety to save money when purchasing a system. We have installed and serviced thousands of systems over the past 38 years, and the CPS-5T is the most budget-focused residential system we have ever produced, offering five dedicated stages of filtration. No one else has the wisdom or can compete with our quality, performance, and variety.

It also consists of a 2.5-gallon storage tank and an air-gap dispensing faucet. This system provides better filtration than the CPS-3T.

Beware when purchasing cheap water filter cartridges from Big Box Stores, on the Internet, and Water Treatment dealers, as they are inferior quality, and 95% of them are manufactured in China!

Buyer beware warning label

Cheap filters do not have the micron size or special filter material required to remove VOCs (volatile organic chemicals), Hydrocarbon Gases (chlorine, ammonia, chloramines), Cysts (cryptosporidium, cyclospora, giardia), Silt, Clay, and other toxic contaminants, when compared to USA-manufactured cartridges. Purchasing “Cheap Filters” to save a few dollars, or because it’s convenient, or convincing yourself that any cheap water filter will provide the same quality of pure water as a USA-manufactured filter can, are not acceptable excuses to compromise the integrity and safety of your drinking water. The quality of water Filter Cartridges installed inside any Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System are critical in determining the purity, safety, and quantity of water delivered. With cheap Chinese-manufactured filters, you need to consider product safety and quality control when compared with American manufacturing standards and regulatory agencies. Water Fixers is THE ONLY COMPANY that incorporates the highest quality of American-made filter cartridges as “Standard Equipment” in our SPS, EPS, and UPS Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems. If you care about protecting your health as much as we do, you’ll choose Water Fixers for all your water filter cartridge purchases.
