Water travels through 8 stages of filtration: |
|
| |
|
In stage 1,
water flows through a solid
carbon cartridge for removing
volatile organic carbon
compounds (VOC's),
insecticides, pesticides and
industrial solvents.
In stage 2,
water flows through a FLUORIDE
REMOVAL cartridge. Containing
fine-mesh pre-resin media to
reduce fluorides below 0.5 ppm.
Contains
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 stage 3,water flows
through pre one - micron
filter pads (1 micron equals
1/25,000th of an inch), which
removes suspended particles
such as silt, sediment, cyst (Giardia,
Cryptosporidium), sand, rust,
dirt, and other un-dissolved
matter.
In stages 4 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 6,
water flows through ion
exchange resins, reducing
heavy metals such as lead,
copper, aluminum, and water
hardness.
In stage 7,
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,
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
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.

In stage 8,
water
flows through another one-micron
filtration pad for further reduction
of undesirable particles. The end
result is a great reduction or
total elimination
of a wide variety of contaminants.
