NSF International, also known as the National Sanitation Foundation, is an independent third-party certifier for the drinking water industry. Product Testing & Certification NSF International has established consensus standards and testing protocols for drinking water treatment devices used by all other testing laboratories. Once a system has become NSF-certified, the … [Read more...] about NSF Standards Explained
Electrostatic Air Filters
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
