Building for Wellness: The Critical Role of Clean Drinking Water in Modern Homes

At PACE Design & Construction, we believe that a home should not only be beautiful and functional, but also a foundation for long-term health and well-being. As we continue to raise the bar in sustainable and high-performance building, one area we’re increasingly prioritizing is water quality—specifically, access to clean, safe drinking water directly from the tap.
Why Water Quality Matters in Every Home
Water is one of the most fundamental elements of life, yet many households across the country unknowingly consume water that contains trace amounts of chlorine, heavy metals, PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and even microplastics. While these contaminants may be present in small quantities, long-term exposure can have cumulative health impacts—ranging from gastrointestinal discomfort to serious chronic conditions.
From a design and construction standpoint, it’s no longer enough to rely solely on municipal filtration. The real standard of excellence now includes point-of-use purification systems that give families peace of mind with every glass.
The Role of Reverse Osmosis in Purifying Water
One of the most effective and reliable water purification technologies today is reverse osmosis (RO). RO systems force water through a semipermeable membrane that removes contaminants at the molecular level—including dissolved salts, bacteria, and synthetic chemicals.
As builders who are deeply committed to elevating quality of life for our clients, we’ve been researching best-in-class RO systems that align with our values of health, design, and efficiency.
Why We Recommend Cloud RO by Cloud Water Filters
We’re proud to spotlight the Cloud RO System by Cloud Water Filters as a standout solution we believe in.

Here’s what makes Cloud RO worth your attention:
