Whole House Water Filter - Ten Facts
-
The EQ-300, as of January 22, 2004, holds the highest capacity certification (300,000 gallons) of any filter system currently on the market. That means the EQ-300 has been proven to last longer than any other filter unit. The EQ-300 is also the only whole house filter unit with any certification, whatsoever.
-
The EQ-300 will perform similarly to a standard water softener, without adding unhealthy and unnecessary sodium to your drinking water.
-
The EPA has stated that "Every home in America has an elevated level of chloroform gas [in the air] due to the vaporization of chlorine... from tap and shower water." Chloroform gas can cause and/or aggravate respiratory conditions like asthma and bronchitis. The EQ-300 is guaranteed to remove chlorine from water, at the point of entry, greatly improving the overall air quality within the home.
-
Besides chlorine, calcium, and iron, the EQ-300 is certified to reduce odors, bad tastes, and sediment.
-
The EQ-300 is the best, most effective shower filter system available. An ordinary shower filter can reduce only limited amounts of contaminants, because it must filter at extreme temperatures. The EQ-300, however, is guaranteed to remove >99% of chlorine, because it filters at lower water temperatures and is large enough to allow for the needed contact time with the filtration media to produce water with non-detectable levels of those contaminants.
-
Though far better than nothing, simply using a shower filter and drinking water filter system are not perfect means of protecting your family from the dangers of water contamination. In a perfect world, all families would use a whole house filter and a drinking water system. A dishwasher, with normal use, will release more chloroform gas into the air than any other water source in the house, excepting the shower. A whole house water filter system is the only filter that can filter from dishwashing water.
-
Because it does not remove the healthy minerals in water during the filtration process, the EQ-300 raises the pH balance of drinking water to approximately 7.5, depending upon water conditions. Acidic drinking water (with a pH balance below 7.0) has been shown to cause mineral deficiencies in teeth and bones.
-
The EQ-300 uses an innovative four-stage filtration process for optimum contaminant reduction. This process capitalizes on mechanical filtration, redox, and adsorptive filtration techniques to chemically reduce chlorine and other elusive water contaminants.
-
The EQ-300 uses KDF-55, which is a copper and zinc alloy that is certified to reduce cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, and titanium from water. Exposure to these heavy metals can result in kidney damage, skin irritation, and high blood pressure. These metals leach into water sources through natural erosion and are generally not removed by municipal water treatment plants.
-
The EQ-300 promises benefits for laundry and dishwashing. Not only does the EQ-300 reduce the amount of chloroform gas that is released into the air by the washing machine and dishwasher, it also removes chlorine that could become embedded in clothing and reduces the amount of detergent that must be used by these appliances.
