CRYSTAL QUEST
® Utilizing the latest
technologies in water industry,
coupled with 30 years of
manufacturing expertise, we
provide you with the most
effective, healthy,
great-tasting water conveniently at the most
affordable price. Our products
are
attractive, easy to install
and use,
and removes many contaminants from water*.
Water travels through multiple
stages of filtration:
|
|
|
In stage 1,
Water flows through a bed
of media made of a special
high-purity alloy blend of two
dissimilar metals - copper and
zinc ERA-6500®, and ERA-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 ERA-6500 and
ERA-9500/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 2,
Water flows through coconut
shell 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, benzene) pesticides,
herbicides, insecticides,
volatile organic compounds (VOC's), PCB's, MTBE's and
hundreds of other chemical
contaminants that may be present in
water, bad taste, and odors from 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.
