4.5” x 10” NSF 61 certified activated aluminum water filter specifically designed for the removal of fluoride and arsenic from water.
Activated alumina (AA) is the only filter material specifically designed to remove fluoride and arsenic from water. It is a ceramic compound made of aluminum oxide with a very high surface-area-to-weight ratio, AA has a very high capacity for fluoride adsorption. Most municipal water supplies add 2 ppm (parts per million) of fluoride. AA filters can reduce fluoride concentrations to below 0.1 ppm, in other words 99% of the normal fluoridated water levels.
Description
Potable Water and a Cleaner Environment.
- Lowest cost per 1,000 gallons generated by high capacity and low cost per cubic foot.
- Robust material will not deteriorate with backwash.
- Works across a broad range of water chemistries.
- Iron levels do not affect the arsenic capacity.
- Landfillable, disposable without any hazardous wastes.
- Certified to NSF/ANSI standard 61, and successfully completed an EPA ETV project.
Fluoride & Arsenic Removal for Water Treatment
- ActiGuard® Fluorograde is an adsorbent of metals including fluoride from
- potable water. Regeneration is normally used to operate at the most cost efficient
- levels.
- ActiGuard® Fluorograde is used to simultaneously lower fluoride and arsenic to
- acceptable levels in one treatment.
