(more than a de-chlorinator) |
- Single fibreglass tank containing GAC (granulated activated carbon).
- We use Calgon GAC with an underbed of gravel.
- Automatic backwashing filter control valve prevents build up of bacteria and sediment in the filter and avoids compaction of media.
- Optional commercial control for large and/or two- storied homes.
- Elimination of chlorine, chlorine byproducts (THMs).
- Elimination of pesticides, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other organic contaminants found in river water.
- Astounding improvements to hair, skin especially persons with eczema and psoriasis.
- Substantial savings by eliminating damage to rubber seals in faucets, dishwashers, reverse osmosis units, water softeners and grey plastic pipe (PolyB, Polybutylene).
Did you know?
In a 10 minute shower the body absorbs or inhales chlorine equivalent to drinking eight glasses of
untreated tap water.

- Unit consists of two tanks: a slim vertical tank containing Dowex resin and a brine tank for the regenerant (see photos).
- Has a fully automatic control valve which meters household use for demand regeneration resulting in excellent efficiency and cost control.
- Ion exchange resin eliminates minerals and regenerates periodically with inexpensive softener salt.
- Reduces the use of soaps, shampoos, and cleaners by 80% or more.
- Reduces skin problems; does not strip off natural body oils.
- Extends fabric life 33%.
- Extends the life of plumbing fixtures, dishwashers, hot water tanks especially the new tankless models.
- Reduces natural gas hot water heating costs up to 35%.
- Typically saves a household $25.00/month per person.
