WHOLE HOUSE CHLORINE / CHLORAMINE REDUCTION GAC SYSTEM

Picture
For reduction of chlorine, chloramines, dirt, rust and silt and other taste and odor concerns. Chlorine can bond with proteins in our skin, hair, and other organs, causing oxidation to our cells, dryness and brittleness. Chlorine can be breathed in by the lungs, absorbed by the skin, and consumed in the water we drink.

This unit is custom sized for you with the correct volume of media to give you the maximum contact time, the most thorough reduction rate possible, and a flow rate that meets your water usage needs. It treats water coming into the whole house for better water at your shower & bath, kitchen faucet, and garden.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
  • Backwashing capability to flush out trapped particulates and re-settle the bed and avoid channeling
  • More thorough "contact time" for better removal of contaminants
  • No clogging, will maintain consistant flow rate throughout life of the media, unlike cartridge filters that may build up trapped particulates, slow down water flow, and need to be changed before carbon medium is exhausted.
  • All systems custom designed for individual circumstances. Valve type and media volume calculated for optimum removal of contaminants.
Two Options for Whole House Point of Entry Chlorine Reduction
1.) A POINT OF ENTRY USPW GAC SYSTEM.
  • Cost of Unit: $800 to $2500 (depending on sizing) plus labor.
  • Needs to be sized by a technician.
  • Cost of Service Install: starts @ min $400 (for a standard install.)
  • Cost of ongoing service: Labor Starts @ $175 plus $125 per cubic foot of GAC
  • Piping sizes are 3/4", 1", 1 1/2", 2" etc. up to 4" for a huge household or small community.
  • The GAC system is generally the recommended system due to:
  • Better removal of chloramines
  • GAC media is made from coconut shell carbon
  • No channeling (due to back washing)
  • More surface area for better contaminant reduction

2.) BIG BLUE RADIAL FLOW DUAL CARBON BLOCK FILTER SYSTEM
  • A radial flow (means that the water goes down the center and works its' way out to the outside for better usage of all the media) Big Blue or some variation:
  • Dual filter assembly: 2 housings containing two 10"H x 4"Diam or 20"H x 4"Diam Carbon Block filters.
  • Cost of Service Install: starts @ $100 (for a standard install.)
  • Cost of Filter Change: Min service charge plus Filters
  • This system would be indicated in the following scenarios:
  • No electricity to the unit (garage or storage), No accessible drain line.
  • Cost savings over the GAC, Customer wants to be able to change their own filters.

Scale Stop Systems - Features:
  • Extremely efficient - 5 seconds contact time regardless of hardness level. Conventional Ion Exchange resin requires 90 seconds.
  • No salt or other regenerants required.
  • No water waste from backwashing.
  • No brine discharge. Can be used in areas where conventional water softeners are banned.
  • Long lasting media-not consumed by the reactions.
  • Unique "Template Assisted Crystallization" (TAC) technology induces the formation of microscopic calcium crystals which effectively isolate hardness from the water chemistry.
  • No control valve or electricity required.
  • Media can be used in both conventional mineral tanks or POU cartridge form.
  • Media operates in upflow condition.

Scale Stop has proven itself in a variety of applications as an alternative to ion exchange softening or other conventional water treatment methods. The maintenance-free characteristics make it especially suited for Foodservice and Commercial applications where equipment maintenance is often overlooked. next-ScaleStop is a great alternative for residential use, especially in areas with brine discharge restrictions or where brackish water makes it impossible to operate a conventional softener.
Foodservice
  • Coffee & Tea Brewers
  • Espresso Machines
  • Steamers & Proofers
  • Dishwashing
Commercial/Industrial
  • Car Washes
  • Laundries
  • Evaporative Coolers (single-pass)
  • Hotels, Hospitals, Apartments
Residential
  • Laundry - reduced soap usage, cleaner clothes.
  • Dishwasher - reduced soap usage, less spotting, no scale formation.
  • Water Heater - complete protection from scale.
  • Drinking water - beneficial minerals are retained, no sodium or other chemicals added to water.
Water Softeners & Conditioners
Water conditioning and softening is a point of Entry Technology that removes hardness minerals; calcium and magnesium using the ion exchange process, replacing them with sodium potassium. It does not  greatly improve water for consumption but softens it so calcium deposits do not damage appliances.

These Units must be sized and customized based on your pipe size and consumption rate. Talk to our technicians to get a recommendation for your water needs. 415-883-9900
