Water Travels Through 3 Stages of Filtration
- Stage 1 - Water flows through a 20” sediment cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand, and dirt.
- Stage 2 - Water flows through an ion exchange mineral tank and brine water conditioner.
- Stage 3 - Water flows through a 20” solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents.
Additional Product Options
-
12 GPM UV Water Sterilizer: Specifically designed to meet the demanding microorganism control concern. These microorganisms can range from bacteria and viruses to algae and protozoa. A major advantage of UV treatment is that it is capable of disinfecting water faster than chlorine without cumbersome retention tanks and harmful chemicals to your drinking water.
-
Oxidation System: Utilizes ozone for efficient water oxidation, improving water quality.
- 5600 Automatic Control Head
*Pinholes or rust may occur on stainless steel tanks in environments with high humidity, when salt is present or if condensation remains on tank without being routinely wiped down. If your system will be exposed to one of these factors or you are unable to perform the needed maintenance, we recommend a fiberglass tank.
