Over the years, many treatment technologies have tried to break -in: new gimmicks, new claims, new brands. Overall the industry moves like a big ocean liner, slow and steady, and mass wins out over the smaller and less obvious.
When choosing water treatment equipment you want to look for a product with a good reputation and track record and that is in common use and readily available in the marketplace (so you can be confident parts, warranty, and service will be around for a long time for your system).
UVs, RO's and filter housings with changeable filters in common sizes, and fittings are the "go-to" systems for the vast majority of island homes.
More recent trends and developments we are watching are: Whole-house automatic ultra filtration systems or UF Systems (as a substitute to prefilters and UV) ; engineered sand automatic backwashing filters (as a substitute to prefilter cartridges); undersink UF systems (as a substitute to POU - RO's)
As we see more evidence of these systems in use in areas with water conditions similar to ours, we may see them installed in homes here more often. The economics and long-term availability of parts and supplies are the final determining factors in most cases.
