Eagle Redox
Alloy®
is a patented
product and a
major advancement
in water treatment
technology that
works on the basic
process known as
REDOX
(oxidation/reduction)
principles,
representing a new
and unique way of
water processing
medium which by
its natural
process of
electrochemical
oxidation/reduction
and adsorption
action reduces
and/or removes
many unwanted
contaminants from
water.
Eagle Redox Alloy®
medium is a
versatile,
specially
formulated high
purity, bimetal
material. This
product operates
as a
multifunctional
medium which has
superior
capabilities of
de-chlorination of
drinking water and
reduces dissolved
heavy metals in
water supplies.
Eagle
Redox alloys
are
Antimicrobials.
(An antimicrobial
is a substance
that kills or
inhibits the
growth of
microorganisms
such as bacteria,
fungi,
algae and mold
or protozoans).
Eagle
Redox 6500 and
9500 alloys
antimicrobial
properties never
deteriorate or
deplete.
Patented
Eagle Redox Alloy®
media consists of
a high purity
copper-zinc
formulation. These
substances
exchange electrons
or bond with
chlorine and other
metals contained
in the water to
create harmless
substances.
Eagle Redox Alloy®
is completely safe
and meets EPA and
FDA standards for
levels of zinc and
copper in potable
water, so the
process is not
toxic and does not
cause any adverse
side effects. |

What is
Eagle Redox
Alloy®?
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
is a high-purity
copper-zinc
formulation that
uses a basic
process known
as redox
(oxidation/reduction)
to remove
chlorine, lead,
mercury, iron,
and hydrogen
sulfide from
water supplies.
-
How does
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
Work?
In short, the
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
redox process
works by
exchanging
electrons with
contaminants.
This "give and
take" of
electrons
converts many
contaminants
into harmless
components.
During this
reaction,
electrons are
transferred
between
molecules, and
new elements are
created. Some
harmful
contaminants are
changed into
harmless
components.
Others are
electrochemically
bound to the
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
media.
-
What
Contaminants
Does
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
Remove?
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
process media
works to reduce
or remove
chlorine, iron,
hydrogen
sulfide, lead,
mercury, calcium
carbonate,
magnesium,
chromium,
bacteria, algae,
and fungi. Redox
media removes up
to 98% of
water-soluble
cations
(positively-charged
ions) of lead,
mercury, copper,
nickel,
chromium, and
other dissolved
metals. In most
cases, more than
98% of chlorine
is removed if
operated within
recommended flow
rates.
-
Will
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
remove Iron from
the Water?
Redox media
alloys function
as catalysts to
change soluble
ferrous cations
(positively-charged
ions) into
insoluble ferric
hydroxide, which
can be removed
with regular
backwashing.
With enough
oxygen dissolved
in the water,
iron removal
rates of 98
percent or
better are
common.
-
How Does
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
Remove Chlorine
from the Water?
High-purity
copper-zinc
redox media
consistently
remove 99% of
free chlorine by
electrochemically
reducing
dissolved
chlorine gas to
water-soluble
chloride ions.
-
How does
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
Remove Hydrogen
Sulfide from the
Water?
When hydrogen
sulfide
contaminated
water enters the
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
filter, the
copper in the
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
media loses an
electron and the
sulfur gains an
electron and
copper sulfide
and water are
formed. The
copper sulfide
is insoluble in
water and can be
backwashed off
the Eagle Redox
Alloy®
filter media
-
Will the
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
process media
remove heavy
metals such as
lead from the
water?
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
media remove up
to 98% of
water-soluble
cations
(positively-charged
ions) of lead,
mercury, copper,
nickel,
chromium, and
other dissolved
metals. When
filtered through
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
media, soluble
lead cations are
reduced to
insoluble lead
atoms, which are
electroplated
onto the surface
of the media.
Other heavy
metals bond to
the media and
may be recovered
when the
exhausted media
pass through a
copper smelter.
-
Will the
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
process media
control
microorganism
growth in the
water filters?
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
media
are
Antimicrobials.
The media
inhibits
bacteria growth
(fungi, algae
and mold) and
reduces lime
scale, mold, and
fungi.
throughout the
entire unit.
The
oxidation/reduction
potential (ORP)
shift by a
factor of -300mV
or more for
water filtered
through redox
media controls
microorganism
growth. Treating
water reduces
bacteria and
other
microorganisms
by disrupting
electron
transport,
causing cellular
damage.
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
process media
also kill
bacteria by
direct
electrochemical
contact and by
the flash
formation of
hydroxyl
radicals and
hydrogen
peroxide, both
of which
interfere with a
microorganism's
ability to
function..
-
Will the
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
filter systems
add any toxic
substances to
the water?
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
process media
are completely
safe.
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
media meet EPA
and Food and
Drug
Administration
standards for
levels of zinc
and copper in
potable water,
so the process
is not toxic and
does not cause
any adverse side
effects. You may
not even realize
that
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
process media
are working for
you.
Eagle Redox
Alloy®
media is the
core product of
many filtration
systems, and can
be used in
conjunction with
other products
to provide
superior
purification.
