Sun Water Systems in Fort Worth have developed the Aquasana EQ-300 to give you the best whole house water filter in the market. The EQ-300 is designed to get rid of toxic compounds leaving behind pure, bottled-water quality on tap but for only pennies per day and what’s more it’s made in America.
After tough testing by the Underwriters Laboratories in the USA, the EQ-300 passed the NSF Standard 42 with a class 1 score, giving it the best performing, highest quality Point of Entry, whole house water filter system. (NSF: National Sanitation Federation)
Installation of the unit can be done by any qualified plumber. The EQ-300 uses standard three-quarter inch pipe fittings, but can be supplied with 1 inch fittings on request. Once installed, maintenance of the unit is simple and does not need a plumber to carry out.
This compact and easy to operate whole-house filter packs a mighty punch: standing at a mere 45 inches high by nine inches in diameter, it is able to provide an amazing flow-rate of 8 gallons (or about 30 liters) per minute of bottled-quality water. This is made possible by the use of a four-stage process designed by Sun Water.
Stage one uses a standard, off the shelf filter cartridge. It is a 5 micron, 10 inch spun filter cartridge and is readily obtainable. This is fitted on the supply inlet and traps any sand, silt or sediment in the water. By trapping this sludge, the performance and lifetime of all of the other stages is enhanced, helping to keep the running-costs low. The cartridge is simply and easily replaced and will last for at least three or four months under normal conditions
As the water flows through the second stage, a layer of small zinc-copper granules provides a region where the residual Chlorine is converted by simple, but clever applied chemistry into harmless Chloride.
Third stage of the filter process is made up of a layer of activated Carbon, specially developed and produced from bituminous coal. Activated carbon is recognised by the USA’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the best available technology
Finally, the fourth stage which uses a different type of activated carbon made from coconut shells. This type of activated carbon has the best pore sizes to hold on and get rid of a large number of different pollutants plus any smells or bad tastes to give you pure, good-as-bottled water quality anywhere in the home.
Studies carried out lately have discovered that the residual chlorine, left over from the water treatment process that kills bacteria in the untreated water, can react with naturally occurring organic matter, or NOMs to produce potentially carcinogenic chemical compounds.
The US EPA has also published research that elevated levels of chloroform gas found in homes is caused by excess chlorine in the water supply. This harmful gas is produced by common-place activities such as washing, flushing the WC or taking a shower.
Installing a whole-house water filter, or point of entry system can reduce or even get rid of these health problems, giving you and your family peace of mind. Made in the USA, the EQ-300 is the best whole house water filter system you can buy. Enjoy bottle-quality water on tap but for only pennies per day.
The EQ-300 is noted as the best whole house water filter in the industry. It is number one in quality, durability and effectiveness at eliminating contaminates such as chlorine from your community water system.
