CLEAR BOREHOLE WATER, SALTY SECRET: PUREFLEX BRINGS UNDERSINK RO SOLUTIONS TO KENYAN KITCHENS

As more Kenyan households turn to borehole water, Pureflex Water Solutions is promoting undersink Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Ultrafiltration systems as a targeted solution for homes experiencing salty tastes, high mineral content and stubborn scale on kitchen appliances.
