| In stage
1, Water
travels through a 5 micron Solid Carbon
Cartridge
for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's), insecticides, pesticides
and industrial solvents and traps particles larger than 5 micron including
sediment, silt, sand and dirt. It also helps to extend the life of the
system.
In stage
2, Water
passes through a 0.2 micron Ultrafiltration (UF)
membrane.
Ultrafiltration (UF) is an important purification technology used for the
production of high-purity water. UF is effective for the removal of colloids,
proteins, bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa and pyrogens (e.g.,
gram-negative bacterial endotoxins), other organic molecules larger than
.01 micron, and most other water contaminants known today.
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 undissolved
matter.
In stage
4, Water
passes 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, bad taste, and odors from your
drinking water.
In stage
5, Water
flows through the Ion Exchange
Resin,
reducing heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water
hardness.
In stages 6 and
7, Water
flows through 2 beds of Redox (Oxidation/Reduction process)
media made
of a special high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals - copper and
zinc. 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. It 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.
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 natural
process of 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 stage
8, Water
flows through another one-micron filtration pad for further reduction of
undesirable particles. The end result is a great reduction or elimination
of a wide variety of contaminants.
In stage
9, Water
passes through a CRYSTAL QUEST® reverse osmosis
TFC (Thin
Film Composite) Membrane, which removes and filters particles
as small as 1/1000 of a micron as most inorganic chemicals (such as salts,
metals, minerals) most microorganisms including cryptosporidium and giardia,
and most inorganic contaminants.
In stage 10 and
12, Water
flows through another 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 undissolved
matter.
In stage
11, Water
passes through Granulated Activated
Carbon
(GAC).
In stage
13, Water
passes through an Ultraviolet Water Sterilizer
System
manufactured
with axial flow reactors in 304 stainless steel. The hard glass germicidal
lamps provide an economical way of treating water requiring a 99.99% reduction
of bacteria and virus and protozoa. This process is accomplished without
adding any harmful chemicals to your drinking water. CRYSTAL QUEST®
Ultraviolet Water Sterilizer System is the most ecological way of treating
your water.
Model 4000C and
4000CP:
In stage
14, water
travels through a .01 micron Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. Ultrafiltration.
UF is effective for the removal of colloids, proteins, bacteria, viruses,
parasites, protozoa and pyrogens (e.g., gram-negative bacterial endotoxins),
other organic molecules larger than .01 micron, and most other water contaminants
known today.
