What Does 99.99% Purified Actually Mean?
Toronto tap water passes government safety tests — but “safe” and “pure” are not the same thing. Regulated water still contains chlorine (added for treatment), fluoride, trace heavy metals like lead from aging pipes, microplastics, and pharmaceutical residues. Pürcan’s multi-stage filtration removes 99.99% of these contaminants, delivering water that is genuinely clean.
What We Remove
- Chlorine & chloramines — common disinfectants that affect taste, smell, and gut health
- Fluoride — added to municipal water; our systems reduce it to near-zero
- Lead & heavy metals — from aging pipes and service lines throughout the city
- Bacteria & viruses — our RO membrane blocks particles as small as 0.0001 microns
- Microplastics — increasingly found in municipal and bottled water supplies
- Pharmaceutical residues — trace medications and hormones that pass standard treatment
How Our 5-Stage Filtration Works
Pürcan systems use a proven 5-stage Reverse Osmosis process:
- Sediment Pre-Filter — removes sand, rust, and large particles
- Carbon Block Filter — eliminates chlorine, chloramines, and organic compounds
- Reverse Osmosis Membrane — removes 99.99% of dissolved contaminants at 0.0001 micron
- Mineral Restoration Cartridge — adds back calcium, magnesium, and potassium at healthy levels
- Hydrogen Infusion Stage — infuses antioxidant H₂ for premium hydrogen-rich water
