If you live in the city or anywhere where they have municipal water supply, you know the water tastes funky. It is because they put fluoride into the water, saying it is good for your teeth and you. So to rid your water of this fluoride you are looking for a water filter that will do just that remove the fluoride from your water. We have just the water filter for you and your family. The Crystal Quest 8 stage Triple Fluoride Removal water filter, will do just what the name implies and more. It removes the fluoride and also hundreds of other contaminants found in your water supply. The fluoride removal water filter comes in two models undersink and countertop for your convenience.
The countertop is elegantly designed and sets on your countertop and has its own faucet and on / off diverter switch. The Crystal Quest Triple 8 stage Fluoride filter starts with a solid carbon cartridge for the removal of insecticieds, pesticides, and other harmful VOC's. The second is the fluoride removal cartridge, which filters out the fluoride along with lead and arsenic. Then finally through a 6 stage cartridge which removes hundreds of harmful cantaminants, ( ie: silt, sediment, heavy metals, chlorine and bad odors ) from your drinking water.
The Crystal Quest 8 stage Fluoride filter undersink has the same outstanding qualities as the countertop unit except that it fits beneath your kitchen sink. leaving you with more counter space and versatility. If you have little ones that you would rather see drink a glass of water versus soda, energy drinks, or any other high in sugar drinks, these units will help you to do that. Without hearing the water smells bad or it tastes funny. They as well as you will enjoy pure, clear, great tasting water with the turn of a knob.
The Crystal Quest 8 stage fluoride filter will be a welcome addition to your kitchen and family. Even the pets will appreciate the great tasting healthy drinking water in their bowls. You will even save money in the long run with no more bottled water to buy. You can easily fill your own bottles for on the go, whether for errands, to the park or out for a walk or wherever you might go. You will feel so much better knowing that you and your family are getting the best water for drinking, without all the contaminants, chlorine, and fluoride. If you are like me I like a great tasting glass of water anytime versus bottled water or any other drinks that are offered on the market. These units will ensure you have gallons of clean, clear great tasting healthy drinking water for years to come. With the economy the way it is, the little things like bottled water may not always be in our bugets, but with a water filter system there will be no need to worry about it, as you will have lots of your own filtered water to use.

From unfiltered water to filtered - just turn the diverter switch
Water travels through multiple stages of filtration:
In stage 1, water flows through a solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents.
In stage 2, water flows through a FLUORIDE REMOVAL cartridge. containing fine-mesh pre-resin media to reduce fluorides below 0.5 ppm. Also effectively removes arsenic.
In stage 3,water flows through pre one - micron filter pads (1 micron equals 1/25,000th of an inch), which removes suspended particles such as silt, sediment, cyst (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sand, rust, dirt, and other un-dissolved matter.
In stages 4 and 5, water flows through a bed of media made of a special high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals - copper and zinc (KDF-55D ®, and KDF-85D ®.) KDF is a major advancement in water treatment technology that works on the electro-chemical and spontaneous-oxidation-reduction (REDOX) principles. Chlorine is instantaneously and almost inexhaustibly oxidized.
Tests on KDF/GAC cartridge have shown 99+% chlorine removal past 20,000 gallons of water. In comparison, carbon cartridges of comparable volumes drop below 90% effectiveness after only 4,000 gallons.
Iron and hydrogen sulfide are oxidized into insoluble matter and attach to the surface of the media. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, cadmium, aluminum, and other dissolved metals are removed from the water by the electrochemical process. They are attracted to the surface of the media, much like a magnet. The media inhibits bacterial growth throughout the entire unit. In fact, it has been shown to be reduced up to 90%, eliminating the need for silver, which is commonly used in carbon-only filters (silver is considered a pesticide by the EPA and, as such, must be registered with them).
Is copper or zinc added to the water in any significant amount? On 2.3 ppm chlorinated water, <0.05 mg/l copper and only 0.46 mg/l zinc were measured. The EPA aesthetic levels are 1.0 mg/l for copper and 5.0 mg/l for zinc. Both zinc and copper are essential minerals for good health - the FDA recommends a daily intake of 15 mg of zinc and 2 mg of copper. Read more about KDF 55 and KDF 85
In stage 6, water flows through ion exchange resins, reducing heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water hardness.
In stage 7, water flows through granulated activated carbon (GAC). GAC is universally recognized and widely used as an effective adsorbent for a wide variety of organic contaminants, such as chlorine (99.9%), chemicals linked to cancer (THM's, benzine) pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), PCB's, MTBE's and hundreds of other chemical contaminants that may be present in water causing bad taste and odors in your drinking water.
Carbon is extremely porous and provides a large surface area for contaminants to collect. Carbon-only filters must also use their capacity for chlorine removal, resulting in a shortened life. They also may use a bituminous coal carbon, which is good at removing chlorine, but not as effective at removing chemicals. We use a high-grade coconut shell carbon that is most effective at removing chemicals. Coconut shell carbon provides a significantly higher volume of micro-pores than either coal, wood or lignite based carbon. As a result, it is more effective than other carbon types in removing trihalomethanes (THM's) and other chemicals from municipally supplied water. Since our REDOX media removes the chlorine before it reaches the carbon, the carbon capacity is not wasted on chlorine and is free to concentrate more effectively on organic contaminants.

In stage 8, water flows through another one-micron filtration pad for further reduction of undesirable particles. The end result is a great reduction or total elimination of a wide variety of contaminants.
Crystal Quest CQ-900
Fluoride, Arsenic and Lead selective Media
Crystal Quest CQ-900 is a high capacity synthetic absorbent media that is highly selective for fluoride, arsenic and lead. The extremely high surface area and pure distribution gives this media the highest possible operating capacity and lowest possible leakage.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Crystal Quest CQ-900 is a synthetic aluminum oxide that is specially processed to have a minimum of fines and other foreign matter.
The CQ-900 removes metals through a combination of absorption and chemical reaction woth the media, thus removal is not dependent on ion exchange.
The CQ-900 has a uniform particle size similar to ion exchange resins. It has minimal shrinkage of swelling and low pressure loss. It is physically stable and can be used over a wide pH range.
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Chemical Structure Crystalline Aluminum Oxide
Physical Form Tough Uniform Granules
Screen Size Distribution
+28 mesh 10%
-48 mesh 5%
pH Range 4 - 10
Water Retention Less than 5%
Solubility Nil
SUGGESTED OPERATING CONDITIONS
Maximum Temperature 100 degrees C (212 F)
Maximum Free Chlorine 1 PPM
Minimum Bed Depth 36" ( 5 -7 ft preferred )
Backwash Rate To achieve 10 - 25% Expansion
Service Flow Rate 1 -2 GPM/cu. ft.
FLUORIDE REMOVAL
Fluoride is removed by the CQ-900 by a chemical reaction with the media. The process is flow and pH sensitive. The best results are obtained when the flow is limited to about 1 GPM/ cu.ft. and the pH os heldat 5.5. Higher flows and higher or lower pH causes a significant loss of capacity. The best capacity obtainable is approximately 0.2 lbs. per cu. ft. Leakage of fluoride is generally less than 0.1mg/L to breakthrough.
ARSENIC REMOVAL
Inorganic arsenic (arsenite and arsenae ) can be removed by the CQ-900. The process is very pH snsitive and capacity decreases rapidly when the ph us below 5.5 or above 6.0. Arsenite is not removed nearly as well as arsenate; therefore, prechlorination to convert arsenite ot arsenate may be required. Arsenic removal is also afected by temperature and by the TDS of the feedwater. Increasing temperature increases capacity while increasing TDS decreases capacity.
Equilibrium capacity for arsenate (1,000 PPM, TDS, 25 degree C, 1 mg/L As) is approximately 0.66lb/cu.ft. Operating capacity to a 10% leakage end point is approximately 10% of the equilibrium capacity.
LEAD REMOVAL
Dissolved lead is absorbed by the CQ-900 and is not normally regenerable. Capacity for lead is at least 0.4 lb per cu.ft. while maintaing greater than 98% lead removal. This process is not dramatically affected by flow rate, temperature or TDS. However, pH should be maintained ablove 6.0 as lead removal drops under acidic conditons and below 10 as lead precipitates under basic conditions.
*CAUTION; DO NOT MIX ION EXCHANGE RESIN WITH STRONG OXIDIZING AGENTS. Nitric acid and other strong oxidizing agent can cause explosive reation when mixed with organic materials such as ion exchenge resins.
