How Does It Work?
The unit is designed for a 3-4 year or 5,000 gallon life, whichever occurs first. The saturation of the media may occur faster in different areas depending upon the condition of the water. Generally, it is recommended that the unit be replaced when there is a noticeable drop in water pressure and/or return of off-tastes or odors. The EQ-10 has a patented 3-stage filtration process.
Stage 1
Centaur - a revolutionary patented media that is designed to reduce chloramines and that rotten egg smell (hydrogen sulfide) through catalytic reaction.
Stage 2
ATC - a patented ceramic impregnated coconut shell media that reduces heavy metals, such as Lead and Mercury, through cationexchange.
Stage 3
High Grade Activated Coconut Shell Carbon - a 20x50 mesh carbon based media designed to reduce small molecular weight chemical contaminants. This unique media has an enhanced micro-pore structure that adsorbs twice the amount of contaminants as other carbons.
Housing
Housing elements are ultrasonically bonded to eliminate the use of adhesives, solvents, or seals. This process is healthier, safer,
and better for the environment.
