Countertop Reverse Osmosis System

Water Travels Through 10 Stages of Filtration: STAGE 1:  Water flows through a pre one-micron filter pads (1 micron equals 1/25,000th of an inch), which remove suspended particles such as silt, sediment, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, sand, rust, dirt, and other undissolved matter.  STAGE 2:  Water passes through Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC). GAC is universally recognized and widely used as an effective adsorbent for a wide variety of organic contaminants, such as chlorine, chemicals linked to cancer (THM's, benzene) pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), PCB's, MTBE's and hundreds of other chemical contaminants that may be present in water, bad taste, and odors from your drinking water.

STAGE 4:  Water passes through a Crystal Quest® Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane, which removes and filters particles as small as 1/10,000 of a micron as most inorganic chemicals (such as salts, metals, minerals) most microorganisms including Cryptosporidium and Giardia, and most inorganic contaminants.

STAGE 6 & 7:  Water flows through 2 beds of Eagle Redox Alloy® (Oxidation/reduction process) media made of a special high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals - copper and zinc. Representing a new and unique way of water processing medium which by its natural process of electrochemical oxidation/reduction and adsorption action reduces and/or removes many unwanted contaminants from water. It is a major advancement in water treatment technology that works on the electro-chemical and spontaneous-oxidation-reduction (Eagle Redox Alloy®) principles. Chlorine is instantaneously and almost inexhaustibly oxidized. Iron and hydrogen sulfide are oxidized into insoluble matter and attach to the surface of the media. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, cadmium, aluminum, and other dissolved metals are removed from the water by the natural process of electrochemical process. They are attracted to the surface of the media, much like a magnet. The media inhibits bacterial growth throughout the entire unit.

STAGE 9:  Water passes again through granulated activated carbon (GAC).  STAGE 10:  Water flows through a post one-micron filtration pad for further reduction of undesirable particles. The end result is a great reduction or elimination of a wide variety of contaminants.  50 GPD Countertop Reverse Osmosis System   Crystal Quest Portable 10-stage Reverse Osmosis System provides safe, pure, high quality drinking water with a capacity of up to 50 gallons per day using Reverse Osmosis technology. The 50 GPD equates to a production of approximately 2 gallons per hour. Water pressure and water conditions can vary this amount. Great for homes, apartments, office, recreational vehicles, motels, and laboratory use. Convenient, easy to use and hook up to the sink faucet. System measures 16"x7"x7" All hardware included Influent water psi will have a direct effect on GPD production, for 50 GPD the water should have approximately 60 psi.  NOTE:  This unit produces a slow flow of 25 gallons per day (0.02 gallons per minute on demand) based on standard pressure of a residential kitchen faucet. We recommend this system be used for emergency water filtration or individual consumption in instances when an undersink or countertop unit cannot be installed. This system is the simplest way to provide the purest possible water.     If using this system, we recommend using a water pitcher or container to accumulate water for safe storing, usage, and consumption. ### Specfications  Pressure Range 45 psi and up Temperature Range 40° - 85° F (4.4-29.4° C) Optimum Service Flow 0.30 gpm at 60 psi ### Product Name SKU GAC CQE-RC-04038 50 GPD RO membrane CQE-RC-04041 SMART CQE-RC-04040 Optional Product Name SKU Arsenic CQE-RC-04062 Nitrate CQE-RC-04061 Fluoride CQE-RC-04060 Remineralizer CQE-RC-04054 ### Product Manual Countertop-Reverse-Osmosis-Manual.pdf
