About Our Filtration
We have a wide variety of filtration products to chose from depending
on the specific application. However, for our office water and coffee
systems, we use a combination of the filtration methods described below.
Sediment Filtration
Sediment is a combination of dirt, scale, rust particles, sand and other relatively large solid material found in water. Sediment is easy to filter with a 10 micron spun polypropylene filter that traps the sediment in the filter. Most city water supplies exceed bottled water quality standard, so sediment is not a real problem.
Carbon Filtration, Block
Carbon is the most widely used filtration media for controlling color taste and odor. We use a high quality carbon block that is both Lead and Cyst rated. The carbon filter is very effective at removing chlorine tastes and other odors in water. Carbon Filtration is used at virtually every bottled water plant to improve the taste and flavor of the water. Carbon works by actually grabbing onto and trapping the offending molecule.
Carbon Filtration, Precoat
Our Elite Systems use carbon as well but in a different manner. Precoat
filtration reduces off-tastes and odors and removes 99.99% of all particles
as small as _ micron in size. This patented technology offers the largest
filtering surface area, a long filter life, and protection against undetectable
failures such as channeling and dumping. Additionally our filters include a scale and slime inhibitor as well as an anti-microbial control in the filter itself.
The filter is NSF® rated to standard 42 (aesthetics) and 53 (health hazards)
such as cysts, lead asbestos).
Reverse Osmosis
In some cases we may use a technology called reverse osmosis, commonly
called R.O. Reverse Osmosis offer some advantages where the water supplies
are hard, or have a high mineral content. RO systems use a membrane technology
that require the water pressure form the feed side of the membrane “force”
water through a semi-permeable membrane. The water and contaminants that
do not pass through the membranes are sent to a drain line.
