This is a remarkably effective and affordable whole house filter. Both filter media in this unit are optimized for chloramine removal. Simply put, this will do more at a lower cost than others. Stays fully effective for 300,000 gallons!

WHAT DO THESE MEDIA FILTER?

The combination of kdf 85 with catalytic carbon means that you get thorough filtration of the contaminants you might normally find on a municipal system - with a particular focus on chloramines. The patented process for preparing the kdf means it works several times better - and longer - than kdf without that process - or carbon without this form of kdf.

All of the whole house filters we sell use media that has been certified by the NSF, and proven to filter hundreds of contaminants including chromium, chlorination byproducts, lead, heavy metals, asbestos, iron, hydrogen sulfide and hard scale. Kdf has been shown to take out chemical-based contaminants and carbon removes organic contaminants. The filtered water is noticeably softer without the addition of salts or chemicals. There are no membranes or filters to replace. Clean water is always available. Trace elements remain in the water.

After 300,000 gallons just replace the filter media. The refill media price is $695.00.

This whole house filter will deliver clean water for drinking, cooking, showering, bathing, washing and gardening. This whole house filter not only filters your drinking and household water, but will protect your plumbing and appliances from staining, corrosion and scale that can clog flows.

This is a single tank whole house filter for use on chloraminated water. The best media to remove fluoride is very expensive at the whole-house level. The primary risk from fluoride is from ingestion. This filter will reduce fluoride by perhaps 35%. To remove fluoride we recommend that you add a 2-canister kitchen fluoride plus filter.

TEST RESULTS

These tests were performed in-house at the US factory. The results are astounding. Chemistry is complex, and we can't guarantee complete removal, as was shown here.  However, you can expect nearly all chloramine to be removed from your water.  We've never seen filters that do better.

We don't test all configurations of filters; as you can see, we have many of them. All filter materials used have been certified by the NSF.

This unit uses the patented process for powdering and shaping kdf that is unique to our manufacturing partner. The results demonstrate the power of this technology.

Initial testing was done to verify the amounts of medias needed to successfully break the bond formed by the chlorine and ammonia in the chloramines. Calculations proved 16 lbs of patented foam cubes and one Cu. foot of Catalytic Carbon to be the appropriate amounts of media.

As shown in these charts a test tank was set up using specic amounts of ammonia and chlorine (listed below) to create a chloramine level of 2.12ppm. (Your levels may vary) Tests were then taken at a series of flow rates up to and exceeding 10gpm.

Test Tank: 55 gallon Drum.

Chloramine content:

Total Chlorine : 2.47
Free Chlorine : 0.35
Chloramines : 2.12

The tests show that all of the chloramines have been successfully broken down and the separate parts were removed! Verifications of the life time use is being noted daily by systems currently in operation. This unit is designed for use on municipally treated waters only. Any other water type may need additional treatments and disinfectants.
