What does a carbon cartridge do? | Carbon provides the means to improve the taste and odour of water. |
Do carbon cartridges vary in specification? | Yes. Care needs to be exercised in selection of raw material i.e., vegetable and mineral and the physical properties of the carbon i.e., particle size, moisture content, hardness etc. |
What is the difference between ordinary filtration and reverse osmosis technology? | Reverse osmosis (RO) will reduce approximately 95% of dissolved minerals and salts. |
What is the difference between distilled and deionised water? | Distilled water is that which has been condensed from steam leaving all impurities behind. Deionised water has all ions removed. |
Should a doctor be consulted before selection of a water treatment system for either home or the workplace environment? | This practice is advisable if allergies are known. |
Why should water filter cartridges be changed? | Chlorine is injected into most municipal water supplies to control micro bacteria. Aqualife’s carefully considered opinion is that cartridges should be changed every 12 months because of the reduction in the level of chlorine in the treated water. |
Does ordinary filtration remove fluoride? | No. Fluoride is a dissolved heavy metal where reverse osmosis is the most secure method of reduction. |
What does micron rating mean? | Micron rating is the pore size which separates suspended solids. |
Does micron rating have any impact on the chemical analysis of treated water? | No. |
