Synthesized substances present in domestic water that are eliminated with Aquakleen

Aquakleen is the most effective system for removing volatile compounds

- Volatile compounds, i.e. non-particulate substances which can be vaporized or discharged as gas from the water flow. In general, Aquakleen is the most effective system for removing volatile compounds. The most interesting is chlorine, which although necessary during the distribution of water to the homes, is dispensable in the drinking water itself. Removing the chlorine avoids the taste and smell that it gives the water. With Aquakleen you will never have this problem because Aquakleen products remove objectional tastes and odors. Aquakleen products also allow chlorine to be filtered, another chlorine compound used in some cases as a substitute for chlorine in drinking water, and trihalomethanes formed after chlorination. Other volatile organic substances that could unfortunately reach the supply water would be pesticides such as DDT or lindane, originating from non-organic agricultural activities, pollutants such as benzene or trichlorethylene, from industrial discharges, or dioxins, due to their ubiquity in medium. Aquakleen products can remove 99% of the chlorine from water, 98% of trihalomethanes, and 99% of the possible organic contaminants present in the water. Aquakleen products result in clean, clear, odor-free water that you bathe in, drink, and cook with as nature intended.

- Suspended particles. Aquakleen significantly reduces the number of suspended particles such as oxides or soil particles, which can also give flavor and, above all, color or water turbidity. Aquakleen products also have ion exchange resin that make it possible to eliminate some of the temporary hardness caused by undissolved elements and causing lime precipitation. Aquakleen products bring soft water to every outlet of your home making your appliances last longer and keeping your laundry fresher.

- Heavy metals. Aquakleen products reduce the amount of metals such as lead, cadmium or iron from corrosion of the pipes. Elements such as mercury, copper, and manganese are also retained in the Aquakleen filters, which are present in the medium because of human activities and effluents. Aluminum, which can be found in high concentrations in the potable water by its use as a flocculant in the purification process, is another of the metals eliminated by Aquakleen products, especially because Aquakleen incorporates ion exchange resins as well as incorporates technology developed by NASA. On the other hand, we must be aware that CAG does not retain all the substances potentially present in the water. These are the components that are not removed with a filter of this type and for which another solution should be sought if necessary. Look no further for the solution as Aquakleen’s 5-stage refinement systems are tested and certified by the Water Quality Association to NSF/ANSI standards.

- Nitrates. For this reason, active carbon filters are not useful in exceptional cases of water contaminated with this type of compounds, but with Aquakleen’s great technological breakthrough, Reverse Osmosis, water is processed at the molecular level.

- Bacteria or virus. Aquakleen is designed to refine the water supply, which in principle is free from pathogens. The potential beneficial microbial populations present in the water or in the case of contamination of the water flow, Aquakleen products can retain part of them by the phenomenon of adsorption, guaranteed.

- Fluor. During water purification in some cities, fluorine is added to the water supply. Although the goal is to prevent dental health, it is known that high doses of fluoride cause fluorosis, a condition that is manifested mainly with unsightly permanent spots on the dental pieces. Aquakleen products allow fluoride to be removed.

- Minerals and dissolved salts. Minerals that are dissolved in drinking water may be beneficial, or they may be dissolved salts in an excessive amount and may give bad flavor. This usually depends on the characteristics of the natural environment from which water is obtained, especially the composition of geological materials. Since they do not eliminate the dissolved substances, they do not avoid the hardness of the water, caused by calcium and magnesium in solution. Aquakleen filters are the most affordable option to eliminate chlorine-related bad taste problems when water is not particularly hard and has a low content of dissolved mineral salts.

Filtering household water with Aquakleen is the way to eliminate taste and odor problems due to chlorination and particulate matter. In addition, in a complementary manner it provides greater safety with respect to undesirable contaminants which could be present in very low amounts in the water. In short, Aquakleen is a good solution to eliminate unpleasant taste and odor that are not due to excess salts, and for supply waters exempt from exceptional contamination.

Aquakleen Filters are for the whole house

Today there are several ways to purify drinking water at home with Aquakleen systems. The most common Aquakleen products are those of countertop, which are installed next to the kitchen sink and are connected to the water tap. By actuating a simple valve, filtered water is obtained through the small complementary tap, or you can continue to obtain untreated water. Very similar to these are the Aquakleen filters that are placed under the counter, connected to the pipes and that send the water to the main faucet or to a specially prepared one for it. These remain hidden from view but occupy space in the lower closet.

There are also Aquakleen products of small size, and therefore less durability, which can be attached directly to the tap to obtain filtered water. The pitcher systems, for their part, are vessels with a handle of about 2 liters, like a conventional pitcher, but divided into two parts. In the upper is the replaceable filter, and is where the water is poured, while in the lower is collected the filtered water.

A special case is the Aquakleen shower filters, which filter the water only at that point. Chlorine in shower water can dry out hair and skin, and may even cause irritation in sensitive skin, elderly, and children. Aquakleen products filter the shower water to avoid these problems and also improves the performance of soaps and shampoos. In addition, the absorption of other contaminants through the skin and the inhalation of volatile compounds from the water is also avoided with Aquakleen. It is necessary to emphasize the paradigmatic case of the chloroform, a gas that is in the middle as a result of its industrial use like solvent, to which however we are more exposed when it is formed in an undesired way as byproduct of the chlorination. When we take a shower, chloroform is volatilized from the water, and we can expose ourselves to concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than their level in the atmosphere.

Aquakleen refiners for the whole house are placed in the general water outlet. In this case, all the water consumed in the house has been previously filtered, be it the shower, the one used to wash hands and teeth, or the one that goes to the washing machine or the toilet.
