A multimedia filter isn’t just one filter. It’s a blend of different filtration materials layered together, each targeting specific contaminants.
Our blend of 2 types of coconut-shell GAC (Premium and Catalytic) is used to reduce chemicals such as chlorine (99.9%), chemicals linked to cancer (THM's, benzene) pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), PCB's, MTBE's and hundreds of other chemical contaminants that may be present in water causing bad taste and odors in your drinking water. Next, we add in Eagle Redox Alloy® (6500) to reduce scale, bacteria, and algae, even in hot water. Lastly, a Support Quartz is the lower strata of a filter bed and acts to support the filter medium. The maximum efficiency, the support quartz must possess the necessary attributes of hardness and be rounded or non-angular. Correct gradation and sizing must be calculated to properly support the filter media.
What It Removes/Improves
- Chlorine (up to ~99%)
- Chemicals linked to odor and taste
- VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
- Pesticides & herbicides
- Industrial contaminants (like benzene, MTBE, etc.)
What It Does Inside a System
1. Removes chlorine and harsh chemicals that affect:
2. Improves:
- Clarity
- Freshness
- Overall drinking experience
3. Acts as a pre-treatment stage to:
- Protect RO membranes
- Extend filter life
- Improve overall system efficiency
Multimedia filtration is a multi-layer purification process that combines different filter materials to remove chemicals, improve taste, and enhance overall water quality, making it a critical foundation for any high-performance water system.
