Water travels through multiple
stages of filtration: |
|
|
|
|
In stage 1,
Water
flows through a FLUORIDE REMOVAL
cartridge. containing fine-mesh
pre-resin media to reduce
fluorides below 0.5 ppm.
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 stages 2 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 stages 3 and 4,
Water flows through a bed of
media made of a special
high-purity alloy blend of two
dissimilar metals - copper and
zinc (KDF-55D ®, and KDF-85D
®.) KDF 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 KDF/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 5,
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.
