Frequently Asked Questions about the whole house sytem(Continued)


"All right !!! I get to take a bath in Chlorine Free Water."

Why should I use your system instead of a water softener?

A water softener might be right for your needs. But before buying either device, ask yourself, "What are my requirements?" Then review the following list of pros and cons.

 

Are carbon filters a source of Legionnaires Disease?

AC (Activated Carbon) Filters have been found to be a source of Legionnaires Disease when they are not maintained, as have standing pools of water such as are found in air conditioners. The problem with standing water is the chlorine evaporates or dissipates, and there is no long lasting (latent) bacterial protection. The CL Free Water System puts copper ions into the water to provide the latency that chlorine does not. The copper ions don't evaporate or dissipate, so your protection remains. The CL Free Water System's AC Filter backwashes itself completely, automatically.

What type of Activated Carbon do you use, and why?

We use only the finest grade of highly activated, specially treated, coconut shell activated carbon (AC). Our AC has 25% more surface area then non treated and other types of AC (coal based). It does not affect the water's pH. It is significantly better at absorbing MTBEs then non treated and other types of AC. It is the highest quality activated carbon available for drinking water treatment.


"I always wash my car in Chlorine Free Water"

What about these salt water pool systems? They claim to add no Chlorine...

These systems use salt or potassium. Salt is sodium chloride. Potassium is potassium chloride. These systems simply break the chlorine (chloride) out of the salt. So while you may not have to add chlorine as such, you did add chlorine by putting salt in. You also end up with salty pool water and potential corrosion problems.

What else do I need to know?

The sensor probe used for the Fully Automated, Sensor Driven, pH Pool/Spa System should be kept wet at all times. If left to dry out, the useful life and accuracy of the sensor is decreased. This is a consideration during installation. The sensor needs a “wet” location on your pool/spa plumbing.
