500 Series Quick-Connect ULTRA+3 Filter Pods Package

• Particulate Scrub
  Water that appears cloudy or turbid is caused by particulates (such as rust, sand, or clay) found in the water. Sediment filters remove these particulates from water by trapping them.
   
• Chemical Scrub
  Carbon filtering is a method of filtration that uses a bed of activated carbon to remove contaminants and impurities, using chemical adsorption. Active charcoal carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taste and odor from water.
   
• ULTRA (Membrane) Scrub
  Ultrafiltration (UF) is a membrane separation process that allows removal of suspended solids based upon (0.01 micron) pore size.
   
• Polishing Scrub
  Positively charged and highly absorbent carbon in the filter attracts and traps many impurities.

• Particulate Scrub
  The sediment filter is a retreated filter which removes ordinary sediments (clay, rust, sand, dirt, etc.) in the water through 1-10 micron (1/1,000mm) pores. The sediment filter cartridge is easy to change, creates a visual change, and provides high reliability. Sediment Filter manufactured with PP material collects and eliminates significant volume of pollutants by the maximization of pore volume through multiple fiber layer structure of minute RP fiber, and has chemical durability for various chemicals and thermal resistance in view of the characteristics of PP materials.It also gives longer life to pre-carbon filter that absorbs chlorine, fluoride, undesirable taste and bad odor in water.
   
• Chemical Scrub
  Pre-carbon filter is composed of high-performance activated carbon that removes 99% of all chlorine, lead, dissolved Trichloromethane, odor, microbial cysts, organic contaminants, pesticides and chemicals that affect taste and odor.
   
• ULTRA (Membrane) Scrub
  Ultrafiltration membrane is made with Polysulfone forming material and spun with highly integrated techniques. The UF filter has excellent water permeability, and chemical and heat resistance. Removes all harmful micro-organisms and bacterial such as Giardia, Cryptosporidium, E Coli, Protozoan Cysts etc and maintains useful minerals for good health. Eliminates metals and pharmaceuticals to 0.01 micron. Extremely helpful in detoxification and strengthening the immune system, by providing mineral/nutrient boosts of calcium and magnesium.
   
• Polishing Scrub
  Removes biological contaminants and heavy materials, ensuring consistent pure taste. Provides final scrub of any remaining odors. There are two filter types of filtering capabilities. Granular activated carbon filtration is generally effective at filtering aesthetic contaminants, those that affect taste or smell, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Solid block activated carbon filtration is more effective at filtering biological contaminants and heavy metals including lead and mercury.
