The Environmental Water System

http://livesoil.com/chlorinefilter.htm

(SYSTEM NOT INTENDED TO SUPPLY IRRIGATION SYSTEM. LIVESOIL HAS
SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WITH 100G BREWERS USING HOME SYSTEM FOR TEA AND
MAKEUP WATER)

There are systems available at less cost utilizing lower quality
components. Effective removal of chlorine and chlorinamines requires
contact time with carbon media.



Installed at the main service line, the Environmental Water System
Series is a combination of a whole home drinking water system and an
alternative to softening in one appliance. The system filters the
water throughout the home using a high grade GAC media to improve
taste and odor by removing chlorine and other volatile organics.
The system also utilizes the ICN conditioner which physically pulls
the minerals from the water molecule and prevents the minerals from
building up in pipes and water heaters. Water spots wipe up easier
and there's a better use of soaps. The Environmental Water System is
a conditioning alternative to the softener without the disadvantages
of the salts and the soft water effects.

Showcased by the National Association of Home Builders and considered
by Builder Magazine as one of their "Favorite 50" Products. Automatic
backwashing, no routine maintenance and years before media
replacement based on usage and conditions.

 Imagine...clean, fresh water from every tap in your home. That's
exactly what you get with the ultimate water appliance from
Environmental Water Systems.
Any water products, or at least the most common (filtration systems),
are small units that hook directly to the water valves under your
kitchen sink. This provides you with varying degrees of filtered
water for that tap only. Environmental Water Systems (EWS) has
developed a unique water appliance for the entire home that
conditions and filters every drop to every tap.

In addition, EWS products solve problems associated with hard water
without the disadvantages of salt softening systems. EWS water units
use no salt or chemicals and provides natural "softness" without
removing healthy minerals for your skin and body. Plus, there is no
brine discharge or wasted water. EWS saves you money. Now you can
condition and filter water for your entire home without additional
filters for every faucet. Conditioned water inhibits scale and
corrosion in water heaters and pipes and you will use less soaps,
conditioners and cleaners in your daily routines. Enjoy conditioned
and filtered quality water for fractions of a penny per gallon.

Your professional plumber or builder can install an Environmental
Water System conditioning and filtering unit to the main water supply
of your home in just a couple of hours. And, EWS units take up less
space than conventional soft water systems and do not take up vital
kitchen cabinet space.

In addition, EWS is an appliance that functions on a daily basis
without the maintenance and continual costs associated with softeners
and other filters.

How It Works


EWS water conditioning and filtering systems are the most
environmentally safe units on the market, providing you with quality
water for years* before changing the filtering media.


EWS uses a unique Granular Activated Carbon system to filter water.
Activated Carbon has long been recognized as an effective and
reliable material for removing impurities. The primary raw material
used for activated carbon is any organic material with a high carbon
content. These carbon-based materials are converted to activated
carbon by thermal decomposition in a furnace. The resultant product
has an incredibly large surface area per unit volume and a network of
submicroscopic pores where adsorption takes place. For example, one
cubic foot of granular activated carbon has a surface area of 3
million square feet (about 66 football fields). Physical adsorption
is the primary means by which activated carbon works to remove
contaminants from water. Carbon's highly porous nature provides a
large surface area for contaminates (absorbates) to collect.

The bottom-line. Granular activated carbon is the most effective
media, economically available, for the removal of contaminants from
drinking water. GAC has a unique ability to adsorb chlorine from
water, plus GAC is the most preferred method for complete protection
of drinking water from trihalomethanes (THM's) and has been proven
more than 99% effective. A high grade of bituminous granular
activated carbon has been selected for use in all Environmental Water
Systems.
