Aquafer waterSource Questions &
Answers
Question: What does the unit
do?
Answer:
a. It prevents the formation of hard water scale in water heaters
& pipes
b. It will stop the formation of hard water scale on shower doors
& fixtures.
c. It will prevent hard water "bathtub ring" and allow
the use of less soap and detergent.
d. It removes chlorine and chloramine from the water to improve
taste, odor and the unhealthy effects of chlorine.
e. Heavy metals such as lead are significantly reduced.
Question: This sounds like
a combination water softener and carbon filter. Is this true?
Answer: Yes it is, but with many exciting features.
Question: What are some of
these features?
Answer: First, it is all done in one space saving tank that measures
under 55" high and only
takes up a circle of one-foot diameter on the floor. Second, there
are no regeneration
chemicals like salt used at all.
Question: Does a regular softener
use a lot of salt?
Answer: It depends on the hardness of the water and also the number
of people in the home. Based on
the averages the savings would be over 700 pounds of salt a year.
That's $75-$100 a year or almost a
$1,000 over the 10 year life of a softener. Not to mention the
back braking job of lugging all of that salt.
Question: Are there other advantages?
Answer: Certainly, A big one is that this unit NEVER regenerates
so there is never water discharged down the drain.
Question: Do regular water
softeners waste a lot of water?
Answer: Again it depends on the water hardness, softener design,
and the family size. But the average would
be about 10,000 gallons a year.
Question: It sounds like this
unit is very friendly to the environment. Is this true?
Answer: Yes it is. Also in many parts of the US there is legislation
pending to stop the discharge of the salt into
municipal sewers. You can imagine the problems that would be caused
by hundreds or thousands of softeners
n a single city.
Question: Are there even more
advantages?
Answer: Yes there are. The unit has no valve mechanism and thus
no need for electricity. Though the cost
of electricity is quite low for most softeners the cost of installation
is often lowered because no outlet is needed.
With no valve there are no moving parts so service is eliminated.
Question: You mentioned filtration
of chlorine. Won't there be a need to replace the carbon?
Answer: We do not use carbon. We use a special material (KDF)
that will last for millions of gallons. Expected l
ife is for over 10 years of normal use.
Question: How does it work?
Answer: The scale prevention process is quite easy. We use a patented
combination catalytic and magnetic
chamber to change the calcium (hardness) of the water from a dissolved
material to sub microscopic particles
that wash through the plumbing system without being able to connect
themselves to the pipes or heaters. In
this form they will not react with soaps or detergents either.
We have found that magnets alone do not work as
effectively so that is why we precede the magnets with a catalytic
device.
- Question: What about the
chlorine removal?
- Answer: The material we employ
(KDF) uses a process that turns the chlorine to a chloride which
is a form that
is non-detectable in the water.
Question: Will the water test soft?
Answer: No. The test chemicals are designed to put the hardness
back into solution. Once back into solution
they will show hardness on test kits.
Question: I thought all equipment had to have a valve. Why
not yours?
Answer: Because we have a constant upward flow path that keeps
the filter media always moving and not packing
down and collecting dirt.
Question: Can this unit be used on all water supplies?
Answer: NO! We must know something of the chemistry of the water.
In particular the Calcium hardness, total
alkalinity, and pH. From this we can establish the Langelier's
index and apply it to our lab test data. We estimate
that 85% of all municipal water supplies can be treated. If on
a private well we would encourage a test or an
evaluation of existing test data.
Question: Am I correct in summarizing by saying that this
unit uses no chemicals, has no valve, has no moving
parts uses no electricity, discharges no water down the drain,
will prevent the problems of hard water and will
stop chlorine taste & odor for 10 years or more.
Answer: YES!
Question: Is there anything special about the water from this
unit compared to water that has gone through
a salt using softener?
Answer: Yes. First, there will not be the slippery feel on your
skin when you shower or bathe. This feel comes
from the sodium reacting with your body oils. Secondly, we add
nothing to the water such as sodium mentioned
previously. This could be important to someone on a low sodium
diet.
Question: Any other special things about the water?
Answer: There is an unusual phenomenon that takes place. The
surface tension of the water is reduced. This is
often referred to as making the water "wetter". It
simply means that the water can penetrate a plant more effectively
and deeper so that the plants are more hardy and grow better.
With a standard salt type softener, that water
is actually harmful to plants.
Question: Is this a brand new technology, or has there been
some experience in actual use?
Answer: We have employed catalytic and magnetic processes since
1994. We have also used the special filtratio
media (KDF) for that period of time. There were over 1,000 units
placed world wide in the first 5 years.
Question: Has the performance been reliable?
Answer: YES! WE have fewer than 1/2% field problems and without
exception they resulted from situations where
the units were placed on water supplies that were outside of
the limits that have been established through testing.
Question: Are there any general guidelines that can be used
on the water chemistry where the use of this
unit would be o.k.?
Answer: Hardness up to 20 grains, pH 7.5 or less and a visibly
clear water. this as stated before, would include
about 85% of municipal water supplies.
