Long Beach Water Quality

Water is a valuable resource for everyone around the world. You use it for the most basic tasks such as drinking water, cooking, going to the bathroom, you name it. People, however, take this for granted and do not necessarily stop to think where the source of their water comes from. The majority of our water, Long Beach included, comes from reservoirs. While people usually associate reservoirs to lakes, the critical difference between them is that reservoirs are not natural bodies of water but are man-made. There are different types of reservoirs. These include valley-dammed reservoirs from the mountainsides, bank-side reservoirs from existing rivers or streams, and service reservoirs made of concrete placed either below or above the ground. Water in the City of Long Beach comes from two sources: groundwater sources and cast iron water mains. While there may be an annual water quality report known as the CCR ...

Hydrogen Water: Miracle Drink, or Overhyped Myth?

Scientists from all over the world have already proven: water is the healthiest drink you can choose to consume. It is free of glucose and chemicals that can damage cell renewal. Of course, this is only if the water is purified correctly, as the fact remains that water quality is getting lower every year, especially in larger cities like New York. If drinking water is so healthy for humans, then it should be even healthier when its oxygen content is boosted. That's why more and more companies are banking on hydrogen drinking water production. Hydrogen water is becoming increasingly famous nowadays.

How to Choose a Water Filter for New Jersey

Can I drink tap water in New Jersey? It’s a tough question to answer – while it is officially considered safe, there are many arguments against it. The main point of the debate revolves around the fact that water leaves the treatment plant in one condition and arrives in another. An overwhelming percentage of the US water pipe network was created a long time ago. Since then, the pipes have not been properly looked after, which affects the New Jersey drinking water quality. For example, lead has become a major problem since it often ends up in tap water. Let’s see how to stay safe and what can be done to improve the New Jersey water quality.

Boiled Water vs. Filtered Water

It’s no secret that we need to drink plenty of water every day. Some say it’s 0.3 gallons, others 0.5 or 0.6, yet it’s all useless if you are drinking bad quality water.

It turns out that the average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime. Is this a good enough reason to set high standards for the work environment and health-related issues? Of course.

Is Chlorinated Water Safe to Drink?

The first thing that comes to mind when people hear about chlorinated water is a public swimming pool or something similar. However, this chemical is also widely added to our drinking water.

It kills or neutralizes pathogens, waterborne diseases, and etiologic agents, which could potentially cause cholera, typhoid fever, diarrhea, respiratory tract infection, kidney damage, or endocrine damage.

Incredible service. Our complex is building owned so we did not know we couldn't drill into the counter. Igor let us know we would just need to buy a different faucet and he would come back the following week. He took the inconvenience in stride and was back the next week for installation. Communication between Igor and their team was so easy, they were on time, and installation went perfect. Such a great deal as well, we were going through so many water bottles, this system will pay for itself in no time. I couldn't recommend High Water Standard more! Thank you

We did quite a bit of research to select the installer of a reverse-osmosis filtration system for our condo in Brooklyn Heights. Even the glowing reviews we read didn't fully prepare us for the wonderful service we have received from Igor, Olena, and their High Water Standard company! The system they installed is top quality and included a new cutout through our marble kitchen island and a custom, dedicated faucet. The triple filtration system provides excellent quality water that we feel is vital to our health and happiness. Best of all, they are just a joy to work with! Igor is super friendly, prompt, and understands the power of clean water in your life. In our opinion, you should just stop reading reviews for anyone else. High Water Standard is the best choice there is!

I was sick and tired of the aweful water delivery service I was getting from Ready Refresh (formally Nestle) . Either they don't show up on the delivery date or they don't have enough water bottles or they ignore your instructions where to place the bottles. It was exhausting and I was fed up-not to mention the delivery fees and the cost was out of control. I also wasn't thrilled on having to lug those massive 5 gallon water jugs around. I was so happy when I found High Water Standard. They were very transparent about the process, installation, and the cost. I was very happy to work with Elena. She was very thorough and took her time to explain everything. We were able to get our installation done during the same week. Our technicians were absolutely delightful to work with and guided us on how to use our new water filtration system. A big shout out to Igor and Alex for doing such an amazing job. Go with High Water Standards you will not regret it.

I have been using the high water standard for over 5 years now, and it is the best investment I have made for my and my family's health. Igor and his crew are always so professional, reliable and knowledgeable. I have tried other water filters in the past but nothing compares to this amazing filter that the high water standard provides. My whole entire family uses it and loves the fact that the filtration system is unparalleled and that it is installed seamlessly by the crew. Definitely worth the investment for overall health and piece of mind!

Friendly and professional service. I spent nearly 4 month researching the right company to test and provide a water treatment solution for the poor quality water that I had. High Water Standard had a great rating and after doing some digging, they came highly recommended. From scheduling a water test to assess what treatment to recommend through the installation process, they were truly professionals. I had a lot of questions and Igor patiently provided answers. They provided a friendly, responsive and professional service experience. I am pleased to be part of the High Water Standard family and recommended them.

We asked for a quote and consultation and Igor was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable. He came to our house to test the water and provided a ton of very useful information. He is the right guy to seek out if you are new to the water filtration topic. We really appreciate his help.

Have been with this company for over 10 year and they never disappoint with quality of product and their service. I just upgraded my water filter system. Everything was done promptly and with excellent quality. Igor and Edik have been always available for any issues and are super courteous and prompt. Their new employee who came to do the installation was the young man named Alex and was extremely professional, handy and quick. I highly recommend this company for any filtration system you need for your house, as they will give you just what you need unlike some others that will push on you what needs to be sold.

For 15 years I bought cases of bottled water every week, spending probably thousands of dollars every year. And luckily I was able to find a professional company that was able to install the filter water system for a reasonable fee. I am very satisfied with the quality of the water and the services provided by Igor. I strongly recommend high water standard.

Owner came to install my water osmosis and I couldn't be more pleased. Installed quickly, answered all of my questions, and the water is super clean. I got my own tester to make sure that the quality is aligned with their claims, and it sure does. I am also glad that I was able to support a family owned business too. Happy customer. Thank you!

I just moved into a new apartment and needed to install a RO system. After my great experience last year with High Water Standard, I didn't for one second consider calling anyone else. Just like last time, Olena took care of prompt installation scheduling and handling my building's COI requirements. Igor, the consummate professional, does a great job with installation, explaining the system, and checking in with me at multiple points to make sure that I'm happy with the placement of the unit and the faucet. Both are friendly and easy to work with. Love my new tankless RO tower and the dedicated faucet looks amazing. Thank you High Water Standard! I love knowing that my drinking water is safe and healthy.
