| Metals, Iron and Manganese,
which can stain laundry and bathroom fixtures as well as lending
unpleasant taste and odor to water, can be removed through oxidation and
filtration. |
The PW 9000 oxidizes and
filters out these heavy metals.
|
| Hydrogen Sulfide,
which is identified by its sulphurous odor, can be controlled through
oxidation and aeration. |
The PW 9000 rapidly
oxidizes the sulfides in the water to sulfates, and keeps the water fresh
through constant aeration, thus eliminating this offensive gas with
its rotten egg odor.
|
| PH
is the
measurement of the acidity of your water. Somewhere between 6.8 and 8.5 is
considered O.K. by the EPA. Waters outside these limits can be corrected
by using chemical feeders.
|
The PW 9000 will
neutralize acidic water to the PH range between 7.3 to 7.8. Alkalinity is
not affected.
|
Color, generally
in the form of tannins, can be removed by ozonation, chlorination, reverse
osmosis or carbon filtration.
|
The PW 9000will oxidize
and thus remove tannins in the water. |
Hardness
in the
form of dissolved calcium and magnesium can shorten the life of water
heaters and does increase the amount of soaps and detergents used in
normal cleansing tasks. Hardness can be removed by the use of a
water softener which substitutes sodium or potassium for these dissolved
minerals.
|
The PW 9000 alters the
molecular bonding capability of the hardness constituents so that the
water acts softer and keeps the hard water deposits from strongly bonding
to the surfaces. This is an additional benefit to the primary
oxidation/filtration capabilities of the PW 9000.
|
Chlorides, sulfates,
nitrates, sodium
and other dissolved solids can all be removed by
reverse osmosis or distillation.
|
The PW 9000 does not
remove dissolved solids in this category.
