Optional Add-Ons:

Water Travels Through 8 Filtration Stages:

Stage 1: Water flows through a 20? sediment cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt.

Stage 2: Water flows through a one-micron filter pad which removes suspended particles such as silt, sediment, cyst (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sand, rust, dirt, and other undissolved matter.*

Stage 3: Water passes through coconut shell granulated activated carbon (Arsenic-Free GACTM). GAC is universally recognized and regularly used as an effective adsorbent for removing a wide variety of organic contaminants, bad taste and odors from drinking water.

Stage 4: Water flows through the ion exchange resin, reducing heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water hardness.

Stage 5 & 6: Water flows through a bed of media made of a special high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals – copper and zinc (Eagle Redox Alloy® 6500 and Eagle Redox Alloy® 9500.)

Stage 7: Water flows through another one-micron filtration pad for further reduction of undesirable particles. The end result is a great reduction or the total elimination of a wide variety of contaminants.

Stage 8: Water flows through a 20? solid carbon filter cartridge for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents.
