Taste and Odor
Reduction
Granulated Carbon (GAC) has long
been utilized to reduce impurities in potable water. It is widely
recognized for its adsorption capacity plus its ability to reduce
dissolved organics and chemicals such as chlorine. These and other
impurities can cause undesirable taste, odor and color in water.
Standard choices include 20x50 mesh, used in most conventional
instances, and acid washed activated carbon, which is used, in specific
situations where highly polished filtered water is required. Specialized
carbon selections are also available.

Elimination or
reduction of inorganic contaminants and impurities that can cause
undesirable taste, odor and color in potable water. Coconut or coal based activated carbon in
varying mesh sizes available in granular or block form. |
Sediment Removal
Sediment filters are used to
eliminate sediment before it reaches sensitive equipment such as other
filters, ice makers, coffee machines, pumps, R.O. units or purification
systems.
The various media are effective in reducing contaminants ranging in
size from 50 microns to as low as 1 micron, depending on the need.
Filtration down to 1 micron is adequate to reduce cysts such as giardia
and cryptosporidium.
The design utilizes a multi-layer depth filtration construction that is
vastly superior to single layer alternatives. The benefits of this process
are threefold. Overall filtration capacity is increased, pressure drop due
to sediment buildup is reduced and service life is greatly
extended.

can damage downline equipment. Elimination of cysts such as giardia
and cryptosporidium. Polypropylene, ceramic or
pleated.

Scale Inhibitor
Used in
situations where "hard water" is a problem, polyphosphate is a food grade
product that inhibits scaling and controls the corrosion or rusting of
pipes and equipment. Scaling and corrosion are the result of lime and iron
(in soluble form) reacting with metal in pipes or equipment, forming a
solid (scale or rust). Polyphosphate solves this problem by holding these
contaminants in suspension, which keeps them from reacting with the metals
in pipes or equipment.
Often used in conjunction with GAC, polyphosphate is ideal for the
protection of equipment such as ice makers, beverage equipment, and pumps.
It is excellent for potable water because it is tasteless and
odorless.
