Their Purelux water purification system kills 99.99% of bacteria and viruses in your water, eliminates microbial re-contamination, reduces organic chemicals & pesticides, reduces chlorine, conserves water, and here's the best part...it keeps essential minerals. The system first exposes incoming water to UV light which is powerful enough to destroy the most stubborn bacteria, while organic contaminates, lead and pesticides are then reduced in a carbon block filter, and then through a granulated activated carbon filter which eliminates foul chlorine tastes and its harmful by- products. A final pass through UV light coils completes the process. As always, ELECTROLUX CANADA can successfully cater to your cleaning needs through their vast line of vacuum cleaners and floor conditioning products, but now you should also have one of their consultants show you the latest in water purification systems.

The economical situation of today has provoked longer periods of financing for new automobiles, resulting in the consumer's need for a rust resistant vehicle that will endure. Regardless of new car warranties, your vehicle will still rust and both structural and cosmetic damage can occur prior to perforation pursuant to warranty claims. Due to our harsh winter conditions and high humidity in summer, you should take necessary precautions such as regular maintenance and rust control by RUST CHECK. Today's ultimate rust protection is RUST CHECK which was originally tested at Hepworth, Ont. (near Owen Sound) in 1971 for 3 years before dealers started opening, and their success lead to franchising in 1980. The RUST CHECK centre in Oshawa opened on December 1st of 1986 and is franchise owned by NORMAN and BETTY BOWKER who operate just one of 235 Canadian locations. RUST CHECK is a synthetic based material that contains 7 different working chemicals that actually treats the metal rather than just covering it up. It also contains a chemical that acts as a penetrating "creeper". This allows the material to creep inches in 24 hours--thus, there is no place in a vehicle that RUST CHECK cannot reach. It is the only business of its type endorsed by the Automobile Protection Association of Ontario, and RUST CHECK can be applied year round on new or used vehicles. This RUST CHECK dealer also offers fabric protection for seats & carpeting, engine shampoos, complete car clean-ups, hand washes, paint finish protection to preserve the shine, and the sale & installation of accessories such as running boards and alarm systems.
