Water travels through multiple
stages of filtration: |
|
|
|
-
In stages 1 and 7,
Water flows through pre and
post one - micron filter pads
(1 micron equals 1/25,000th of
an inch), which remove
suspended particles such as
silt, sediment, cyst (Giardia,
Cryptosporidium), sand, rust,
dirt, and other un-dissolved
matter.
-
In stage 2,
Water
flows through fine-mesh
pre-resin media to reduce
fluorides below 0.5 ppm.
Containing
synthetic Aluminum Oxide adsorbant
media. Specifically designed to have
a high affinity for Fluoride, Lead
and Arsenic. It removes metals
through a mixture of adsorption and
chemical reaction with the media,
therefore, the elimination is not
reliant on ion exchange. It has
uniform particle size, is physically
stable and can be used over a wide
pH range.
Also effectively removes lead and
arsenic.
-
In stages 3 and 5,
water flows through a bed of
media made of a special
high-purity alloy blend of two
dissimilar metals - copper and
zinc (Eagle
Redox Alloy®
6500,
and
Eagle Redox Alloy®
9500.)
Eagle Redox Alloy®
is a major advancement in
water treatment technology
that works on the
electro-chemical and
spontaneous-oxidation-reduction
(REDOX) principles. Chlorine
is instantaneously and almost
inexhaustibly oxidized.
Tests on
Eagle Redox Alloy®/GAC
cartridge have shown 99+%
chlorine removal past 20,000
gallons of water. In
comparison, carbon cartridges
of comparable volumes drop
below 90% effectiveness after
only 4,000 gallons.
Iron and hydrogen sulfide are
oxidized into insoluble matter
and attach to the surface of
the media. Heavy metals such
as lead, mercury, copper,
nickel, chromium,
cadmium, aluminum, and
other dissolved metals are
removed from the water by the
electrochemical process. They
are attracted to the surface
of the media, much like a
magnet. The media inhibits
bacterial growth throughout
the entire unit. In fact, it
has been shown to be reduced
up to 90%, eliminating the
need for silver, which is
commonly used in carbon-only
filters (silver is considered
a pesticide by the EPA and, as
such, must be registered with
them). Is copper or zinc added
to the water in any
significant amount? On 2.3 ppm
chlorinated water, <0.05 mg/l
copper and only 0.46 mg/l zinc
were measured. The EPA
aesthetic levels are 1.0 mg/l
for copper and 5.0 mg/l for
zinc. Both zinc and copper are
essential minerals for good
health - the FDA recommends a
daily intake of 15 mg of zinc
and 2 mg of copper.

-
In stage 4,
water flows through
ion exchange resins,
reducing heavy
metals such as lead,
copper, aluminum,
and water hardness.
|
|
|
-
In stage 6,
Water flows through granulated activated carbon (GAC).
GAC
is universally recognized and widely
used as an effective adsorbent for a
wide variety of organic
contaminants, such as
chlorine (99.9%), chemicals
linked to cancer
(THM's, benzine) pesticides,
herbicides, insecticides,
volatile organic compounds (VOC's), PCB's, MTBE's and
hundreds of other chemical
contaminants that may be present in
water causing bad taste and odors
in your
drinking water.
Carbon is extremely porous and
provides a large surface area for
contaminants to collect.
Carbon-only filters must also use
their capacity for chlorine removal,
resulting in a shortened life. They
also may use a bituminous coal
carbon, which is good at removing
chlorine, but not as effective at
removing chemicals. We use a
high-grade coconut shell carbon that
is most effective at removing
chemicals. Coconut shell carbon
provides a significantly higher
volume of micro-pores than either
coal, wood or lignite based
carbon. As a result, it is more
effective than other carbon types in
removing trihalomethanes (THM's) and
other chemicals from municipally
supplied water. Since our REDOX
media removes the chlorine before it
reaches the carbon, the carbon
capacity is not wasted on chlorine
and is free to concentrate more
effectively on organic contaminants.
