Compared to other pleated filters, fiberglass filters and reusable/washable filters, the Filtrete electostatically charged filters have the greatest advantages. Fiberglass filters were not designed to reduce microbial particles, but were only meant to protect the furnace from debris. The Filtrete filters will actually improve the quality of the air in the household as well as … [Read more...] about Electrostatic Air Filters
Ceramic Water Filters
Ceramic materials are made from the Earth. More specifically from the remains of silicon shells left by algae that settled to the bottom of the Earth's waters years ago. These deposits were discovered when the Earth's bodies of water dried up. The discovery of this “Diaomaceous Earth” had sparked new ideas for technological uses, especially in water filtration. The ceramic … [Read more...] about Ceramic Water Filters
KDF Process Media
KDF process media, original known as Kinetic Degradation Fluxion, are high-purity, granulated copper and zinc-based alloys that treat water through a process based upon the principle of redox (oxidation reduction). KDF’s unique combination of copper and zinc creates an electro-chemical reaction. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new … [Read more...] about KDF Process Media
Protecting Your Hot Water Heater
When your water heater heats your water this can cause calcium carbonate to precipitate out and settle at the bottom of your tank. This can cause sediment build-up that will slow pressure down and the build-up can cause corrosion that will decrease the life of your pipes and appliances. Steam pockets can also form under the sediment when the burner comes on and this can cause … [Read more...] about Protecting Your Hot Water Heater
The Benefits of Filtering your Garden Water
More and more homes in America are starting to use some type of water filtration to remove particulates and chlorine from their drinking, cooking, and shower water. But, many forget the water that is used to irrigate gardens. Just as chlorine can seep into our skin during a shower, it can seep into the soil and food that we grow in our garden. Chlorine is designed to kill … [Read more...] about The Benefits of Filtering your Garden Water
