1st: Sediment + Carbon Block Filter
Carbon block is comprised of virgin power and specialty adsorbents. A thermoplastic binder is integral in the extrusion process to deliver a rigid solid state carbon filter capable of radial water flow. Radial flow allows water to flow from the entire outside of the filter through to the core providing 15 times more surface area than axial flow(GAC) designs. The water moves slowly through a consistent solid carbon block membrane but the flow rates are commensurate are capable of removing / reducing lead, volatile organic compounds, chlorine, chloramine, asbestos, cysts and turbidity. This membrane is covered with a layer of melt-blown or spun-bounded polypropylene filter media. This exterior surface and the adsorptive membrane can provide filtration to 1 micron nominal rating.
2nd: Pre Carbon Filter
Pre carbon filter thereby remove many volatile organic chemicals, including bad tastes, odors, residual chlorine, harmful chemicals, herbicides, pigment and hundreds of other man-made chemicals found in tap water because carbon is a substance best known and most widely used to adsorb impurities.
3rd: UF Membrane
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a separation process using membrane with pore sizes in the range of 0.1 to 0.001 micron. Typically, UF membranes will remove high molecular-weight substances, colloidal materials, and organic and inorganic polymeric molecules allowing only fresh water and dissolved minerals to pass through. This is widely used water treatment membrane in industry and commercial and now available for domestic use with lots of benefits comparing with reverse osmosis membrane(RO) such as saving minerals after filtration, no storage tank is required and no waste water would be produced.
4th: Post Carbon Filter (Optional: Antioxidant Alkaline Filter)
Post carbon filter thereby remove many volatile organic chemicals, including bad tastes & odors, residual chlorine, harmful pesticides & herbicides, pigment and hundreds of other man-made chemicals found in tap water because carbon is a substance best known and most widely used to adsorb impurities.
