HOW THEY WORK

The types of filtration include 'pore opening', magnetics, catalytic action using reduction-oxidation, electroplating, ion exchange, reshaping of hardness ions and adsorption. An environment harmful to bacteria, algae and fungus is created.

* Activated Alumina - proven safe and effective against fluoride.

* Kdf 55 - a highly effective combination of copper and zinc. Especially effective at filtering chemically-based contaminants, heavy metals and chlorine. Kdf is bacteriostatic, preventing bacteria from growing in the carbon or your water. Tested to NSF standards 42 and 61.

* Catalytic Carbon - effective against volatile organic compounds, iron, hydrogen sulphide, gases, bad odors and taste.

* Granulated Coconut Carbon - top-grade pre-washed granulated coconut carbon works especially well against organic-based contaminants. Best carbon for mtbe.
