Our Process
Rocky Mountain Snow Melt
Hydrx drinking water begins as precipitation in the Rocky Mountains.
It is collected through the water procurement system of the city of Colorado Springs and municipally treated to potable standards. Hydrx takes this municipal water and further processes it by several methods.
Microfiltration
The water passes through several stages of microfiltration to remove particulate matter. Initial stages of microfiltration are 5 microns followed by 1 micron. Prior to reverse osmosis there is another stage of microfiltration at .2 microns which excludes particles as small as bacteria.
Carbon Adsorption
The water passes through a solid block of carbon for removal of chlorine and organic matter. It also removes bad taste and odor.
Reverse Osmosis
The water is processed by reverse osmosis. The permeate that passes through the semi-permeable membrane has dissolved contaminants removed including salts and metals.
UV Light
The water first passes through UV light following initial microfiltration. The water again passes through UV light following reverse osmosis, prior to entering the storage tank. In the storage tank, water is continually recirculated through the distribution loop and passes through another UV light.
Ozonation
While in the storage tank the water is ozonated. This is also where oxygen is added to the water. The addition of oxygen produces a natural flavor similar to when the water originally fell from the sky. Ozone and UV light continuously maintain the biological purity of the water.
Our Story
"As a boy scout on a canoe trip, I encountered a natural spring with water bubbling over shallow rocks and Watercress. It tasted amazing! I realized as an adult in the water purification industry, the reason that this water tasted so good was the dissolved oxygen content. The large surface area of the water exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere, combined with the Watercress emitting oxygen directly into the water, created a highly oxygenated water. That was the best water I had ever tasted until now. HydRx produces a high purity drinking water that has pure oxygen added through our proprietary process. You'll find this the best tasting water ever, with assured purity and no dissolved plastic."
