Water looks cloudy, unappealing. Leaking Faucets.
Valves, solenoid, and o-ring seals may fail.
Short life of filter cartridges. Dirt / sediment residual.
Increased equipment failure, high maintenance cost.
Carbonated drinks go flat quickly, off taste in beverage.

Formation of scale when heated or cooled.
Fouling of heating elements increasing operation cost.
Increase energy use. Increase equipment maintenance.

Filtration Technology
SINGLE, DOUBLE, & TRIPLE ACTION FILTERS
Graded Density Filter Media - Filters are constructed so that the spaces between the fibers are increasingly smaller towards the inside of the filter. With this design the larger particles are trapped on the outer layers and the smaller ones towards the center.
|
 |
Activated Carbon - Made from a wide variety of materials such as wood,peat, nut shell and petroleum. Activation oxidizes all particles on the surfaces of the carbon particles, leaving the surfaces to attract and hold organics along with taste & odors like chlorine.
|
| Scale Inhibition - FDA compliant food grade Cuno proprietary blend consisting of Polyphosphate and Silicate compounds which are colorless, tasteless, and odorless. This unique combination works in two ways to inhibit scale and corrosion caused by hard water. 1) Sequesters or “Ties up” calcium and magnesium. 2) The blend also coats internal piping surfaces to reduce mineral adherence.
