Unique ultra-high porosity, activated catalytic carbon creates an extraordinarily large active surface area for removing contaminants.
100% binder-free, gas activated carbon maximizes capacity for longer-lasting cartridges.
Vortex flow combines turbo and radial flow to increase contact time, minimize pressure drop and fully utilize media filtration capacity for maximum efficiency.
Adsorptive technology consisting of 400 layers of proprietary nano-alumina fibers with electrostatic properties inhibits scale formation and reduces contaminants such as lead, VOC, bacteria (99.99%) and heavy metals.
Filtration technologies:Catalytic carbon media –
2 grams of activated carbon can hold contaminants with a surface area as big as a football stadium. This patented activated carbon media removes volatile organic substances dissolved in the water. These substances can evaporate in room temperature and if inhaled can cause problems because they are toxic. Organic substances are also a food source for bacteria and can allow them to grow if present in the water supply. Chlorine is also another contaminant that has a strong odor when present in the water supply. When chlorine is inhaled it can form hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid which are poisonous to the human body.
Nano-alumina fibers – The filter media is designed to remove contaminants greater than
0.02 microns such as heavy metals, bacteria, and viruses. In other words, the filter media acts as a barrier holding the contaminants until the filter has reached its maximum contaminant holding capacity. At this point, the filter needs to be replaced because the bacteria are present in the filter media and any flow of water will contain bacteria if the filter cartridge is not replaced.
