Filtration Stages:1. Particulate and Bacterium Removal.
The AquaGuard water filter is fitted with a One micron Needle Felt HEBA Pre Filter. Removes microscopic worms, parasites and protozoa which can be present in water. The biggest offenders are Giardia Lambda and Cryptosporidium, which cause major diarrhoea, dehydration, intestinal disorders and even death. Water experts estimate that over 63% of water problems are directly caused by Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
Giardia is seven to fourteen microns in size and Cryptosporidium is from three to five microns in size. When the environment becomes inhospitable (like in the presence of chlorine), both parasites can go into the cystic form (like a hard, round, impermeable microscopic egg). The cyst form is resistant to chlorine and very hard to kill. Municipal water authorities are unable to remove the cysts economically. Healthy individuals infected by these parasites experience cholera like illness: watery diarrhoea, headache, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and low-grade fever.
The only sure way of removing these cysts and other protozoa and fine particulate material is to run the water through a membrane with a mesh size of less than 1 micron, in this system – the HEBA pre filter – a reusable element that will save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of the filter.
2. Water Softener Element.
For households whose water supply may include town or bore water supply a softener element is available to remove or reduce the hardness from the water supply. The element is Zeolite based, a natural volcanic mineral based material, and like the HEBA filter, a spare element supplied with the system. When the water begins to increase in hardness simply remove the used softener element and replace it with the spare.
Like the HEBA filter, the used softener element is able to be re-used, simply immerse the used filter in a 10% salt solution and soak overnight, remove, dry in direct sunlight and store in a sealed container until required for re-use.
