Environmental Water Systems at Equiparts
Ken Clark, Sr. Vice President of Eastern Regional Sales for Environmental Water Systems (EWS), recently visited the Equiparts headquarters in Oakmont, PA. He provided us with an in-depth overview of EWS water filtration solutions and their key advantages for commercial and facility applications.
During his presentation, Ken highlighted several differentiators that set EWS apart in the water filtration market. EWS whole-home and facility systems—most notably the SPECTRUM® system, their top-selling solution—offers the highest flow rates in the industry. He also emphasized EWS’s commitment to transparency, noting that EWS clearly identifies the disinfectants and contaminants each filter is designed to reduce or remove—a level of disclosure not always provided by competing manufacturers.
Another key distinction is EWS’s ability to filter chloramine, a disinfectant commonly used in municipal water supplies. Unlike some competing brands, EWS filtration systems are designed to remove 98% of chloramine, which is known to contribute to pinhole leaks in copper plumbing over time. Many EWS filters are also interchangeable with select Everpure filters, offering added flexibility for customers upgrading or replacing existing systems.
One of EWS’s most popular point-of-use products is the ESSENTIAL MAXFLOW® filtration system, designed for use with kitchen faucets. MAXFLOW reduces or removes a wide range of contaminants, including chlorine, chloramine, lead, cysts, THMs, VOCs, dyes, fuels, pharmaceutical residues, and PFAS—commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.”

Well Water Notice
EWS Filtration Systems should not be installed on well water of unknown quality. Proper independent testing is required to determine the correct system, and ensure safe water. Do not use microbiologically unsafe or untreated water. The filter systems are intended for cold water feed applications and must be installed in compliance with local and state regulations. For more information and guidance on water testing, give Equiparts a call to get started.
Information about EWS and Water Testing
EWS, Inc. focuses exclusively on the design and manufacture of water treatment equipment and does not provide water testing services. The company takes this approach to avoid potential conflicts of interest that can occur when water testing and equipment sales are handled by the same organization.
In most communities, municipal water is already treated and routinely tested by local water authorities, with water quality reports made publicly available to residents. Because of this, EWS relies on existing, verified water quality data rather than conducting independent testing tied to product recommendations.
This distinction helps ensure that equipment specifications are based on documented water conditions and regulatory standards, not sales-driven testing programs.
EWS was founded on the principles of health and wellness, and is dedicated to providing the best, long-lasting water filtration on the market. As a result, they are trusted by hospitals, health care providers, high-end hotels, and thousands of private homes worldwide. Equiparts is proud to carry the full EWS filtration lineup, including point-of-use, whole-home, and customized filtration systems engineered to meet project-specific requirements.
