Water Testing and Filtration

FILTER FEATURES

Automatically regenerates media to extend life of filter and to prevent contaminants from leaking back into water flow.

• Patented “Media Separator” Distributor – prevents stage 1 media from sinking to the bottom and becoming useless.

• Special Vortex Tank creates restructured reenergized water and reduces water usage by as much as 250 gallons per month. This creates a most unexpected phenomenon – an electrical potential (voltage) between the structured water and the water surrounding it. In other words, structured water stores energy, much like a battery. Structured water is a battery that needs constant charging. Energized structured water recharges the liquid battery of the body. When the body has sufficient energy, its aqueous interior is highly charged allowing for optimized cellular and metabolic function in addition to greater hydration and detoxification. pHountain pHresh water is literally brimming with energy.

• Does not use inefficient gravel or quartz. The problem with this is the filter gravel cuts down on your flows rates. When used as an upflow this type of system allows for channeling of the media bed, (water will seek it’s least path of resistance), when not forced in a specific direction, and it also slows down the flow during a regeneration cycle.

• The design creates fluidity of the media bed and extends contaminant removal capacity; which means less regenerations and significant reduction of water use.

• The pHountain pHresh system is salt free. Water Softeners use a 6-cycle valve for regeneration. The average water usage is from 90 to 150 gallons of water per recharge to rinse the salt used. This happens 2-3 times per week, depending on the family usage. This calculates to over 12,000 gallons of water wasted per year.

• The pHountain pHresh water system does not use Reverse Osmosis. Reverse Osmosis is a commonly used water purification method, unfortunately this method strips the water off all minerals and creates highly acidic water. The complete opposite of what is healthy and best for your body. Reverse Osmosis membranes can also build up bacteria quickly and if the system is not maintained properly this bacteria and contaminants can leak back into your water flow. This can undermine the whole purpose of the filtration system.

• Higher alkalinity right out of the tap. Because the pHountain pHresh Water System maintains all the healthy minerals in the water and doesn’t strip them out, your water has a healthy pH and alkaline level immediately.

How the pHountain pHresh System Works

pHountain pHresh Stage 1 – Bacteriostatic Redox Reaction Media

The pHountain pHresh Water System starts with a Unique Redox Reaction Media that is protected by 15 US patents and numerous foreign patents. It consists of a high-purity copper-zinc alloy that undergoes a chemical process called redox which is short for oxidation-reduction, this chemical reaction transfers electrons between molecules. In some cases, such as chlorine it changes it into benign substances then passes through the filter. Copper, lead, mercury and other heavy metals are also removed from the water supply through this first step. Stage 1 effectively removes up to 98% of inorganic water-soluble heavy metals that are a concern to the public. It also controls microorganisms and reduces lime scale in problem areas like showers and tubs, and changes waterborne calcium molecules that inhibit scale buildup and improves taste of your favorite beverages.

The Patented Media Separator separates the medias inside the tank for better filtration. The redox reaction media is 8 times heavier than what is typically used. A lot of our competitors mix or blend medias, but after the first backwash of the system the heavier media falls to the bottom of the tank and is useless in the water filtration process.

• The media is truly bacteriostatic, and creates an electrolytic field that is deadly to some microorganisms. This special redox media is bacteriostatic while the filter is both inactive and active.

• It does not require silver-impregnated carbon which requires exceeding the USEPA guidelines for silver content, and silver isn’t as effective when water is actively flowing through the filter. It’s half the cost of silver, dramatic savings

• It is Non-toxic and completely safe. It meets USEPA and US Food and Drug Administration standards. It is so safe that the EPS doesn’t require registration for its use in water.

• Reduces inorganic contaminants before they get to the next phase of filtration.

• Protects filtration system from bacterial fouling and bacterial buildup.

• Makes other filtration media lasts longer. Extends life of filter system by 15X.

• Is not effected by hot water and does not release trapped contaminants to re-enter the water flow

• Reduces dry flakey skin and damaged hair.

• Helps control the unwanted growth of bacteria, fungi, algae, mold and lime scale.

pHountain pHresh Stage 2 – Enhanced Catalytic Activated Adsorption Media Blend

The second stage process starts where reactants are transported to active sites within a highly catalytic carbon structure, then the adsorption takes place at the catalytic site. Next a chemical reaction occurs on the carbon surface and reactions products are formed. The catalytic site is finally restored through desorption of gaseous product and removal of retained contaminants.

The pHountain pHresh Water System uses only the highest grade of carbon in the world and out performs Coconut Shell Carbon by over 600%. The media performs at a controlled consistent catalytic activity, with up to 100X more catalytic sites for better electron transfer, and promotes a wide variety of chemical reactions where conventional carbons are not effective.

It is the best available technology for the removal of many organic materials in surface water.

The Second Stage Blend helps remove and reduce:

• Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) associated with chlorine and alternative disinfectants

• Algal toxins, such as microcystin-LR and anatoxin-A

• Bacteria, viruses and parasites such as cryptosporidium and giardia

• Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDC)

• Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP)

• Taste and odor-causing compounds (T&O)

• Organic materials from decaying plants and other naturally occurring matter (NOM) which serve as the precursors for DBPs

Heavy metals that can be removed:

• Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Manganese, Nickel, Zinc.

• Radioactive materials that can be removed:

• Strontium, Uranium, Vanadium, and other radio active metal compound can be removed by the pHountain pHresh water system.

List of non-metals absorbed includes:
• Bromine, Chlorine, Fluoride, fertilizers, pesticides (e.g. Dieldrin etc.)

This reagglomerated media has been proven to be more effective at chlorine and chloramines removal—as well as perform taste and odor removal at greater speeds than coconut-based carbons.

It meets NSF/ANSI 42 and Proposition 65 standards

Part of our stage 2 media formula can also remove chlorine, non-metal compounds and even radio nucleotides. Therefore, we consider it to be the most effective water filter available for all kinds of applications.

 

MAINTENANCE

There is NO maintenance required on this system. NO Salt or Potassium chloride to add. As long as there is power to the control valve and you can see the time on the valve it is working. We recommend getting your water tested every 5 years to ensure that the system is working at its peak performance.

Long Island Water is becoming unsafe to drink and bathe with. There are many water contaminants being found daily in our water supply . Nassau county has a real problem with the Grumman/Bethpage Plume. Very toxic and carcinogenic chemicals are prevent in the local drinking water. Every household should have a whole house filtration system installed as a health precaution. Phountain Phresh Watersystems is a filtration system designed for Long Island water contaminants such as the Bethpage Plume which are unfortunately ubiquitous on Long island. Personally and fortunately, I have been using filtered water for over 30 years. Myself, family and friends who are aware of the dangers of unfiltered water, have been using filtered water as well, because of my constant ‘nagging”about the water problem. I have and my family have been in great health because of reducing the risk of water contaminants. The Phountain filtration system I purchased and installed removes a multitude of toxins, bacteria, parasites and PRODUCES ALKALINE DRINKING WATER!! This is very beneficial for human health as reported by many health experts. Please ask me about pure water for your family.
