Including filter system and high-performance Boron filter.
Boron is a naturally occurring element that can enter household water from soils and rock or from certain industrial activities, and it usually has no taste or smell—so many Bascom homeowners only learn about it after seeing lab results. If your private well test or utility report flags boron, it’s wise to consider treating the water for the whole house so every faucet and appliance is covered rather than relying on spot solutions.
Because boron stays dissolved, it won’t settle out and standard carbon filters won’t reliably remove it; that can be surprising if you already use a basic whole-house system in your Bascom residence for chlorine or odor control. Effectively reducing boron calls for a targeted treatment designed for dissolved inorganic contaminants, and the ideal choice depends on your specific water chemistry and whether you want treated water at every outlet.
For reducing boron in household water, reverse osmosis membranes are generally the most effective single-filter option. RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects many dissolved substances, including boron, much better than typical carbon media. Because boron can be difficult to remove, choosing the right membrane and sizing the system correctly are important to achieve consistent results for Bascom homes.
When used for whole-house treatment, reverse osmosis is usually set up as a point-of-entry system with a storage tank and proper prefiltration to protect the membrane from sediment and chlorine, plus post-filtration to polish the water before it reaches taps. Mr. Pure Water can test your Bascom water for boron and recommend the RO configuration that matches your home’s flow and usage so showers, sinks, laundry, and cooking water are consistently treated.
