DETAILS
We include all fittings required to DIY your own installation.
Complete system comes new in gift box, with a quality 0.5 Micron SILVER carbon block filter for total reduction of chlorine taste and odour issues.
The filter in this system is a standard 10" x 2.5 " carbon block cartridge.
If a different cartridge is required - any 10" x 2.5" standard Aust size cartridge will fit this system.
Replacements filters and components are available through us.
0.5 MICRON SILVER CARBON BLOCK FILTERS
This Silver Impregnated Carbon is a block filter with the ability to filter down to 0.5 micron.
This filter is similar to the H2-BLUE 100% Coconut Carbon Filter (GT4-6), but is impregnated with silver for the added benefits of carbon AND the bacteriostatic properties of silver impregnation.
Whilst carbon effectively removes odors and taste issues from water, it will leave behind microscopic metal compounds in the form of minute ash/dust particles, which in turn prove to be a source of nourishment for bacteria
.
This bacteria feeds off the nutrients in the insoluble ash and can then be flushed into the drinking water supply.
Silver Impregnated Carbon is proven to stop the growth of ash/dust fed bacteria
Filtration Process:
When a cell of bacteria is absorbed into the carbon's structure, it comes into contact with silver ions.
The sulphurhydryl group already within the bacterial cell reacts with the silver, producing a silver sulphur complex.
The complex immobilizes the respiratory activity of the bacterial cell by preventing the transfer of hydrogen and an oxidative reaction.
The cell cannot reproduce and dies, reducing the risk of gastro illness by ingesting bacteria.
Benefits:
Several factors need to be considered when recommending silver impregnated carbon for use in bacteriostatic filters.
Coconut Carbon is rated to be one of the best base materials used in today's market.
Coconut Carbon provides a much higher volume of micropores than coal, wood or lignite based carbon.
Thus, resulting in a more effective removal of trihalomethanes (THM's) from municipal water supplies.
The larger surface area provides a more effective method of filtering common contaminates such as chlorine and chloramines.
The unique raw material of the coconut shell and the carbon manufacturing process ensures exceptional hardness and low ash content.
