Alkaline ceramic balls
Alkaline ceramic balls are formulated to substantially raise the pH of water giving you all the benefits alkaline water has to offer.
- Raises pH levels 7-9+
- Re-mineralizes water
Aquabond™
Omnipure Filter Company developed a proprietary patented manufacturing process for preparing specialty granular media for use in a variety of drinking water treatment applications. The primary feature of this technology is that it permits the permanent bonding of the fine powdered particles onto larger support particles to form unique composites that are application specific.
- Increase surface area for exceptional performance.
- Application specific media tailored to maximize contaminant reduction.
- Minimal fines release.
- Similar or superior capacity with less media.
Calcite
Naturally occurring, calcium carbonate or calcite, re-mineralizes water helping with pH correction. One advantage of calcite is its self-limiting property. When properly applied, it corrects pH only enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium. It does not over correct under normal conditions.
- Naturally occurring.
- Controlled pH correction.
Corosex (magnesium oxide)
Magnesium oxide or Corosex as it is known is used to correct low pH in water. With the aggressive nature of Corosex it takes much less contact time to raise the pH compared to calcium carbonate. When formulated correctly it can be used to over correct the pH for alkaline water conditions.
- Helps correct low pH water conditions
- Takes less contact time vs. calcium carbonate
Granular Activated Carbon
1 gram of GAC has 1200 square meters of surface area. The large surface area of activated carbon makes it naturally good at grabbing and holding onto contaminants in drinking water.
Some things carbon removes:
- Compounds that cause unwanted taste, odor or color
- Organic materials from decaying plants and other naturally-occurring contaminants
- Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) linked to chlorine and alternative disinfectants
- Algal toxins and cyanotoxins, such as microcystin-LR, cylindrospermopsin and anatoxin-A
- Endocrine-disrupting compounds that can adversely affect hormonal systems
- Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) contamination
- PFOS/PFOA
- Pesticides
- Heavy metals
- VOC’s (volatile organic compounds)
Different types of activated carbon are suited for various specialized applications.
- Granulated activated carbon dechlorinates water, adsorbs organic material and produces a chemical-reducing environment
- Granulated activated carbon impregnated with silver salts inhibits the growth of bacteria
- Catalytic activated carbon removes chloramines from drinking water.
- Pelletized (or extruded) activated carbon effectively dechlorinates and removes chemicals.
- Powdered activated carbon is used to eliminate trace synthetic chemicals and taste and odor causing chemicals, and for chemical spills or algal blooms.
