This company designs home filtration units. I have tried a few translations but haven't come up with anything satisfactory. Any help would be appreciated.

Explanation:
I think this is an accurate and true translation of some utter bilge about the stuff that comes out of our taps.

Mind you, what comes out of my taps is (barring the couple of times a year when they chlorinate it) as good as anything one can buy in bottles.

offers a complete pure, living water experience, both luxurious and enticing


Explanation:
Hello,

My try...

I'd phrase it a bit differently (not follow the French syntax, word by word)

globale = complete
sensuelle = luxurious
envoûtante = enticing

I hope this helps,

We do say "pure, living water" in water advertisements.
