Sylvan Source to Showcase Ultra-Clean Water Appliance at PCBC 2008

SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Growing concern over water availability and safety is expected to generate PCBC attendees’ interest in one of the most innovative residential water treatment solutions available from Sylvan Source, the provider of breakthrough ultra-clean water systems. The Sylvan Source M-600 ultra-clean water appliance will be showcased in the company’s booth at PCBC 2008, homebuilding’s premier trade show and conference, in San Francisco’s Moscone Center, from June 25-27.

“As architects and builders increasingly respond to clients’ desires for ‘green’ solutions, water-efficient ultra-clean water appliances are making their short lists of required amenities.”

“We are pleased to showcase a real solution to the growing problem of water quality,” said Laura Demmons, founder and CEO of Sylvan Source. “As architects and builders increasingly respond to clients’ desires for ‘green’ solutions, water-efficient ultra-clean water appliances are making their short lists of required amenities.”

The Sylvan Source M-600 provides the most effective combination of contaminant reduction and processing efficiency available on the market. Built on next-generation, patent-pending technology, it consistently reduces more contaminants more effectively than traditional filtering, reverse osmosis, or distillation technologies. By integrating degassing, distillation, and demisting functions, the M-600 eliminates the need for frequent cleaning, chemicals, filters, or membranes. It is also highly efficient, requiring only two gallons of input water to produce one gallon of treated water, compared to reverse osmosis’ requirement of five to ten gallons of input water for one gallon of treated water. Pre-treatment is required to handle hardness in water.

Since launch in 2006, builders throughout North America have installed the Sylvan Source M-600 and pilot projects are also underway in several countries in Asia.

The M-600 is one of only two home drinking water treatment systems to achieve NSF/ANSI Standard 62 certification, and it is the first distillation-based, ultra-clean water treatment system to earn certification from the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO).

The M-600 can be seen at PCBC in booth 3301 and is available through a national network of premier home appliance distributors and dealers.
