Is there a benefit when it comes to baby formula?
Definitely! The cleaner the water, the healthier the baby formula. We know that you’re boiling your water, but doing so only eliminates potential bacteria and viruses. Our system removes 99% of contaminants in your water, including chlorine and fluoride.
Do you offer instant hot and water chillers for your system?
Yes. We offer both an instant hot and chiller option for all of our systems as an add on.
How is Sorso different from Brita or other refrigerator filters?
Jug and refrigerator filters use tiny carbon filters that remove only chlorine and some bad taste and odor. We filter, purify and re-mineralize water and make it completely healthy to drink.
What makes Sorso better than standard reverse osmosis (RO) systems?
With Sorso, RO is only the first step in our process. RO unfortunately is not able to distinguish between the good and bad stuff, so it strips everything out of your water, leaving you with super pure and ACIDIC water. Based on information from the WHO, de-mineralized (Acidic) is not healthy to drink.
Not only does Sorso use RO, but we use a high efficiency (HE) RO membrane that minimizes waste to a 1:1 ratio, compared to traditional systems which offer a 4:1 ratio. We also have a higher purity output from our reverse osmosis membrane. Most importantly, we re-establish a healthy pH in your water by adding back natural ionized minerals (The Good).
How is your system different from the Kangen Water System or other electric ionizers?
Many products use electrolysis to Ionize water. However, water passing through the machine cannot be purified if electrolysis is to work. This means that whatever is dissolved into the water, including any and all contaminants, becomes ionized as well, meaning contaminants are more easily absorbed by the body in ionized water. A Sorso system purifies the water and then adds essential minerals that are ionized back into it, ensuring that your body is only absorbing the "good stuff."
Our ionization process is also done naturally without the use of electricity. This ensures that we are not changing the water's DNA structure and that our bodies will be able to properly absorb and accept the water you're drinking.
How often do you need to change the filter and cost?
We recommend changing filters once per year. Our smart faucet will indicate when it's the right time to change and we will remind you via email. The average cost is $140 shipped to your home or $220 with labour included.
Does your system use electricity?
Our drinking systems do not require electricity. Many products use electrolysis to Ionize water. However, water passing through the machine cannot be purified if electrolysis is to work. This means that whatever is dissolved into the water, including any and all contaminants, becomes ionized as well, meaning contaminants are more easily absorbed by the body in ionized water. A Sorso system purifies the water and then adds essential minerals that are ionized back into it, ensuring that your body is only absorbing the "good stuff.
What’s the difference between the whole home system and the drinking system?
The drinking system treats the water you drink and cook with, while the whole home system treats the water you use for laundry, bathing and cleaning.
The whole-home system will protect you from absorbing chemicals while showering and will protect your home's plumbing system and fixtures from scaling. The drinking water system is specifically designed for drinking water, cooking, making coffee and tea, ice, etc.
How much plastic waste is saved by using Sorso?
On average, a Sorso system will save 20 kilograms of plastic waste per year per family.
How long does it take to install and what is the cost of installation?
Installation is free, and typically takes 1 hour for a drinking water system under the sink and 1.5 hours for the whole home water system.
What makes Sorso water taste better?
Sorso water tastes better because we remove chlorine and add back essential minerals which make the water purer, lighter, and tastier.
Why is Sorso’s water full of tiny bubbles
These bubbles are negative hydroxyl ion oxygen bubbles and are created by the process of ionization and show the NEGATIVE oxidation reduction potential, or the antioxidant power of your water. The higher the -ORP, the more oxygen bubbles you’ll see in your water. The oxygen bubbles quickly dissipate, so drinking the water before the bubbles float away is extra beneficial. If you bottle and cap the water, over time you may not see any bubbles, however the water remains ionized. As there are minerals in the water, the hydroxyl ions will also be there. As blood cells carry oxygen for use throughout your body, those oxygen bubbles are important.
The oxygenated water helps increase energy and boosts your immune system. Low levels of oxygen in the blood can result in dizziness, fatigue, and lack of energy.
Remember, all those tiny oxygen bubbles mean the greatest -ORP
levels, which go a long way to improving your health and well-being.
Do I need to get my water tested?
If you are on municipal water there’s no need for us to test the water as this is all public information. We know city water has chlorine, chloramines, pharmaceuticals, fluoride and other nasty stuff. Hardness and sediments may slightly vary. On well water we do recommend getting your water tested as this water isn’t being treated or monitored.
Can I take it with me to a new home?
Charging $100 to re-install the system into your new home, as long as it is in our service area
Can I install Sorso’s systems as a renter?
Yes, people who rent their homes can install our systems as well! Renters typically install a soap dispenser in the place of our faucets once they move and take the system with them.
What if I move?
When our clients decide to move homes, we offer a special relocation rate of only $100 to have our installers both remove the system at their old homes and re-install the system at their new one.
