EFFECTIVE - SIX STAGE FILTRATION w/ Nitrate Filtering
CQ is utilizing the latest technologies in water
industry, coupled with over 40 years of manufacturing expertise, provides you with
the effective water filtering systems that provide you with healthy, great-tasting water, conveniently, at the most
affordable price. CQ water filtering products are attractive, easy to
install and use, and removes many contaminants* from water.
Water travels through multiple stages of filtration:
In stages 1 and 6,
Water flows through pre and post one - micron filter pads (1 micron equals
1/25,000th of an inch), which remove suspended particles such as silt, sediment,
cyst (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sand, rust, dirt, and other un-dissolved
matter.In stage 2, Water flows through special nitrate-selective resin
(Nitrate reduction is 90% to 95% and breakthrough is not affected by sulfate
levels. The capacity is 5500 ppm of nitrates as CaCO3. To determine capacity,
first calculate the ppm of nitrates as CaCO3, then divide that number into 5500
to get the gallons. This cartridge can be regenerated using sodium chloride
brine).
In stages 3 and 4, Water flows through a bed of media made of a special
high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals - copper and zinc (ERA-6500,
and ERA-9500). ERA-6500 and ERA-9500 are major advancements in water treatment
technology that works on the electro-chemical and
spontaneous-oxidation-reduction (Eagle
Redox Alloy) principles. Chlorine is instantaneously and almost
inexhaustibly oxidized. Click

Tests on the ERA-6500 and ERA-9500/GAC cartridge have shown 99+% chlorine removal
past 20,000 gallons of water. In comparison, carbon cartridges of comparable
volumes drop below 90% effectiveness after only 4,000 gallons. Iron and hydrogen sulfide are oxidized into insoluble matter and attach to the
surface of the media. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, copper, nickel,
chromium, cadmium, aluminum, and other dissolved metals are removed from the water by the electrochemical process. They
are attracted to the surface of the media, much like a magnet. The media
inhibits bacterial growth throughout the entire unit. In fact, it has been shown
to be reduced up to 90%, eliminating the need for silver, which is commonly used
in carbon-only filters (silver is considered a pesticide by the EPA and, as
such, must be registered with them).
Is copper or zinc added to the water in any significant amount? On 2.3 ppm
chlorinated water, <0.05 mg/l copper and only 0.46 mg/l zinc were measured. The
EPA aesthetic levels are 1.0 mg/l for copper and 5.0 mg/l for zinc. Both zinc
and copper are essential minerals for good health - the FDA recommends a daily
intake of 15 mg of zinc and 2 mg of copper.

In stage 5,
Water flows through granulated
activated carbon (GAC). GAC is universally recognized and widely used as an
effective adsorbent for a wide variety of organic contaminants, such as chlorine (99.9%), chemicals linked to cancer (THM's, benzine)
pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's),
PCB's, MTBE's and hundreds of other chemical contaminants that may be present in
water causing bad taste and odors in your drinking water. Carbon is extremely porous and provides a large surface area for contaminants to
collect. Carbon-only filters must also use their capacity for chlorine removal,
resulting in a shortened life. They also may use a bituminous coal carbon, which
is good at removing chlorine, but not as effective at removing chemicals. We use
a high-grade coconut shell carbon that is most effective at removing chemicals.
Coconut shell carbon provides a significantly higher volume of micro-pores than
either coal, wood or lignite based carbon. As a result, it is more effective
than other carbon types in removing trihalomethanes (THM's) and other chemicals
from municipally supplied water. Since our Eagle Redox Alloy media removes
the chlorine before it reaches the carbon, the carbon capacity is not wasted on
chlorine and is free to concentrate more effectively on organic contaminants.
