Carbon Filter
Combines a chemical-free iron/manganese/sulphur filter with an activated carbon chemical removal filter for cost-effective dual treatment.

• Fully programmable electronic control valve • 12-volt transformer that minimizes power consumption (less than $3.00 per year) • Removes iron, manganese, sulphur, volatile chemicals and organic chemicals from the water supply. • Air-capsulated filter design;, does not require chemicals or water-softening salt to purchase • No filter cartridge to replace
• The iron/manganese/ sulphur filter eliminates iron stains as well as manganese and hydrogen sulfide (which causes the “rotten egg smell” in some well water). • The chemical removal filter removes volatile and organic chemicals, providing safe and neutral-tasting water — some of these chemicals found in your water supply can cause serious health issues.
Sodium silicate is used as an alum coagulant and an iron deflocculant in water treatment plants in municipal water supplies. Sodium silicate binds to colloidal molecules, creating larger aggregates that sink to the bottom of the water column. The microscopic negatively charged particles suspended in water interact with sodium silicate. Their electrical double layer collapses due to the increase of ionic strength caused by the addition of sodium silicate (doubly negatively charged anion accompanied by two sodium cations) and they subsequently aggregate. What this means, is that your softener or iron filter does not recognize the molecules and it ‘masks‘ the silicate, allowing it to pass through undetected, creating staining even though your equipment is working properly.
The solution is a Silicate filtering system. It can be a stand-alone unit or combined with softening resin and carbon, providing filtering capabilities a standard water softener or iron filter cannot perform.
