Aragon Water Filter Cartridge BB 20″

Aragon Media

ARAGON is a composite material in the form of solid block made from Aragon polymer with a bacteriostatic additive of silver and granules of ion-exchange resin.

Quasi-Softening

The Aragon water filter cartridge is an alternative way to prevent scale formation is to leave hardness salts in water, but to change their structure so that they will not form hard deposits when heated. Scale usually consists of calcium carbonate in the calcite form. However, there is another crystalline modification of calcium carbonate — aragonite. Aggregation and surface adherency capability of aragonite crystals are substantially lower than those of calcite. Aragonite precipitates in the fragile and loose form.

Up to now, magnetic water treatment was the only method using this property of aragonite for scale removal. Treatment of hard water with a Geyser Aragon filter in various geographical regions always revealed the same effect. Even when ion-exchange capacity of filter is exhausted, the water passed through Geyser filter does not form scale and, moreover, washes away the old one.

Chemical activity of ARAGON polymer in combination with its advanced porous structure creates conditions for recrystallization of clusters from calcite into aragonite….Aragonite form of hardness salts facilitates calcium assimilability, improves functions of gastrointestinal tract and liver, decreases kidneys loading, and reduces the chances of nephrolith formation.

Biocidal material composition.

The pore size of Aragon Bio cartridge is 0,5 mkm, while the sizes of viruses are about 30–40 nm, i.e. 15 times smaller. If there were no interaction between pores of the material and viruses, then, due to its insignificant size, they would go through pores as easy as insects fly through the window. However, as it was determined, the Aragon pores have an intense surface charge, opposite in sign to the viruses’ one. This implies that electric interaction that occurs between Aragon material and viruses is similar to interaction of opposite charges.

The Aragon material has such a structure that the average size of the pore is about 0,5 mkm. Hence the electrical field from globule completely overlaps the internal volume of the pore. Due to the combining of fields of separate globules an electrical field with high tension is formed within the pore.

Metallic silver is applied on the inner surface of the pore.

To suppress the growth of microorganisms absorbed in the polymer, silver is inserted into the material in the form entirely preventing its migration into the purified water.

Activated Carbon

The ARAGON sorption capacity is comparable with the best brands of activated carbon which provides removal of active chlorine, chlorine-containing compounds, and organic compounds.
