DUAL STAGE UNDER THE COUNTER DRINKING WATER SYSTEM
Product Description:
Virtually every municipality in the US uses chlorine to disinfect water. To create good tasting drinking water removal of this powerful oxidant is critical. We have designed an under the counter system that addresses this common problem in the US. The system is also designed to remove volatile organics, pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals and fine filtration down to .2 microns. $199.95 Our Price

FILTER ONE:
Is a combination of Granular Activated Carbon and KDF media. Granular activated carbon is used in virtually water treatment system for removal. We use the world's largest producer of granular activated carbon products, Calgon Carbon, who provides a broad line of water-purification solutions for home water filtration systems and equipment, at the point of entry and the point of use.
Chloramine Removal
To avoid problems associated with the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs), many municipalities are switching to chloramine instead of chlorine for disinfection of drinking water. As with chlorine, unreacted chloramines may persist in the treated water, causing taste and odor problems when the water is drawn from the distribution system for use. Activated carbon has been used for years to remove tastes and odors associated with chloramine, and Calgon Carbon offers an effective method for chloramine removal for both point of entry (POE) and point of use (POU) applications.
Dechlorination
Treatment with chlorine is the most common method of providing a biologically safe drinking water supply. After treatment, however, chlorine remaining in the water at the tap can cause undesirable taste and odor, and may contribute to health problems. Calgon Carbon Corporation has a solution for dechlorination of drinking water in the home at both the point of entry (POE) and the point of use (POU).
Hydrogen Sulfide Removal
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is well known for its characteristic "rotten egg" odor and associated taste problems in drinking water. While there are many technologies available to treat hydrogen sulfide contamination in home water treatment systems, Calgon Carbon offers a unique solution for hydrogen sulfide removal for both point of entry (POE) and point of use (POU) applications.
VOC / THM / Pesticide / Organic Removal
Many drinking water sources require removal of organic compounds for health or aesthetic reasons. Calgon Carbon's products have been used for years as a cost-effective and reliable solution to VOC/THM/pesticide/organic removal, for both point of entry (POE) and point of use (POU) filtration systems.
The other media used in the first filter is KDF. Information on that media follows:
What are KDF® Process Media
and how do they work?
KDF® Process Media are high-purity, granulated copper and zinc-based alloys that treat water through a process based upon the principle of redox (Oxidation-Reduction). Originally, KDF was shorthand for Kinetic Degradation Fluxion.
We can explain redox like this: KDF Fluid Treatment’s unique combination of copper and zinc creates an electro-chemical reaction. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new elements are created. Some harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Free chlorine, for instance, is changed into benign, water-soluble chloride, which is then carried harmlessly through the water supply. Similarly, some heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury and others, react to plate out onto the medium’s surface, thus being effectively removed from the water supply.
Why use KDF Process Media?
The marketplace is filled with good water filtration/purification systems and technologies (We should knowmany of those manufacturers are some of our best customers.)
|
So why consider using KDF Process Media? We can give you two good reasons (See "Benefits of KDF Process Media" below). One: Because KDF Process Media enhance the performance, extend the life, reduce the maintenance and lower the total cost of many available carbon-based systems. Two: KDF Process Media help control microorganisms by creating an environment thats deadly to some microorganisms and that interferes with the ability of many other microorganisms to function. Either way, the use of KDF Process Media results in the total elimination of some contaminants and a great reduction of a wide variety of others. |

Benefits of KDF Process Media
-
Significantly extend the life of granular activated carbon
-
Are recyclable
-
Effectively remove chlorine and heavy metals and control microorganisms
-
Are available in four granular styles, each designed for a specific need
-
Outperform silver-impregnated carbons
-
Require no EPA registration, thus less red tape
Where are KDF Process Media used?
KDF Process Media are used in a variety of pretreatment, primary treatment, and wastewater applications. They are generally used in place of, or in conjunction with, granular activated carbon filters, even carbon block or inline filters. KDF Process Media extend the life of granular activated carbon (GAC) while protecting the carbon bed against fouling by bacterial growth.
Our Media are also used to replace silver-impregnated systems. Silver is toxic, KDF Process Media are not. Silver must be registered with the EPA as a toxic pesticide, KDF Process Media do not. By the way, silver is more expensive than KDF Process Media. |

ORDER INFORMATION
CERAMIKX® filters are finished with polypropylene end caps designed to accommodate most standard housings. Inquire concerning alternative filter finishing options, including alternative end cap and housing interface styles.
EXTRUDED CARBON = EXCEPTIONAL VALUE
CERAMIKX® filters are manufactured using MATRIKX® extruded activated carbon particles fused into a uniform block with enhanced adsorptive capacity and efficiency. CERAMIKX® filters flow in a radial (outside-to-inside) direction, providing increased dirt capacity and low pressure drop. Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, CERAMIKX® cartridges will not channel or bypass due to the extreme uniformity of their extruded activated carbon core.
-
No channeling
-
No fluidizing
-
No bypassing
-
Eliminates release of carbon fines
-
Lowest extractables, pure materials of construction
-
Maximum service life and resistance to fouling
-
Fully cleanable
-
Manufactured using FDA-compliant materials
NOTES
1. Projected chlorine taste and odor reduction capacity when tested in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 42 protocol.
2. Nominal particulate rating (0.2 µm) is for 85% of a given size as determined from single-pass particle counting results.*
3. Absolute particulate rating (0.5 µm) is for 99.9% of particles of a given size as determined from single-pass particle counting results.**
*Nominal Filter Rating: Filter rating indicating the approximate size particle, the majority of which will not pass through the filter. It is generally
interpreted as meaning that 85% of the particles of the size equal to the nominal micron rating will be retained by the filter. (WQA Glossary of
Terms, Third Edition, 3-97). ** Absolute Filter Rating: Filter rating meaning that 99.9% (or essentially all) of the particles larger than a specific micron rating will be trapped on or within the filter. (WQA Glossary of Terms, Third Edition, 3-97).
WARNINGS:
Maximum Operating Temperature: 125°F
Maximum Operating Pressure: 250 psig
Maximum Differential Pressure: 100 psid
Collapse Pressure: 125 psid
