Stainless Steel Countertop Water Filter with Flouride Protection!
Water travels through 7 stages of filtration to protect you
while extending the life you your Water Filter: Stainless steel Replaceable Cartridge
Countertop Water Filter with flouride protection system eliminates the impurities
of tap water to offer great taste and pureness. The perfect solution for any
household, it is quick and easy to install and use, attractive, convenient, and
effectively removes hundreds of contaminants from water.
This solid state water filter uses the latest technologies that
blend the absorption capabilities of coconut shell activated carbon
with REDOX and more.
7 stages of filtration
First, through a a solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile
organic carbon compounds (VOC's, insecticides, pesticides and
industrial solvents).*
Then through a 6-stage cartridge, removes hundreds of contaminants from water*
| In
stages 1 and 6, 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, W ater flows through
fine-mesh pre-resin media to reduce fluorides
below 0.5 ppm. Also effectively removes
arsenic. · 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 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. |

This company has great products
and specially make all of our “energized” filters which you
cannot order from Crystal Quest.
A diverter valve near the aerator switches between filtered and unfiltered water.
Conveniently provides 10,000 gallons (1-3 years, or when the flow
of water will automatically either stop or slow down greatly.)** of
water. Great for homes, apartments or office use.
Dimensions: 8" x 16"
Weight: 9 lbs
Flow rate is .75 to 1 gallon per minute
The second cylinder is to capture larger sediments if your water contains them.
