Frequent Asked Questions

According to several extensive studies, bathing in chlorinated water can be worse than drinking it because chlorine can enter your bloodstream directly through your skin and lungs. Hot showers open your pores, allowing chlorine to be absorbed six times faster than when you drink it. Chlorine can bond with the proteins in your skin and hair, making your skin dry, itchy, and age prematurely. When you shower in hot water, you inhale steam that contains chlorine and other contaminants. Chlorine has a low boiling point and evaporates quickly in hot water, so the steam-can contain up to 20 times more chlorine than the water coming out of the tap.

Multimedia filters can be more efficient and versatile than carbon filters for removing particles because they can filter water with higher turbidity and suspended solids, and can operate for longer periods of time. Multimedia filters can also be customized with different layers to target specific contaminants while carbon-based filters cannot.

Contact time with water is the amount of time water remains in contact with the filter’s media to allow effective purification or disinfection.The effectiveness of any filter depends on how long the water stays in contact with the carbon. Small filters, like those in refrigerators, allow only brief contact time-meaning many impurities slip through. Allini systems are designed with larger, customized filters that maximize contact time for exceptional purification while maintaining strong water pressure throughout your home.

Every Allini whole-home water filter is equipped with an automatic backwash system. This essential process cleans the filter, removes trapped contaminants, extends the life of the filtration media, and resets it for optimal performance. During backwashing, the flow of water is reversed at high velocity, flushing out and dislodging particles that would otherwise clog the system-keeping your water clean and your filter working like new
