Polyphosphate
Polyphosphate
Slow Phos as it is called, is a soluble glassy bead that releases controlled concentrations of polyphosphate into water. Once in the water slow phos helps to prevent the buildup of scale and protects metal surfaces from corrosion.
Inhibits scale formation.
Helps keep iron in suspension reducing discoloration and poor taste.
Coats metal surfaces (such as down line equipment) providing protection from acidity, alkalinity, or many other mineral salts which can lead to rusting.
GAC
Granular Activated Carbon
1 gram of GAC has 1200 square meters of surface area. The large surface area of activated carbon makes it naturally good at grabbing and holding onto contaminants in drinking water.
Some things carbon removes:
Compounds that cause unwanted taste, odor or color
Organic materials from decaying plants and other naturally-occurring contaminants
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) linked to chlorine and alternative disinfectants
Algal toxins and cyanotoxins, such as microcystin-LR, cylindrospermopsin and anatoxin-A
Endocrine-disrupting compounds that can adversely affect hormonal systems
Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) contamination
PFOS/PFOA
Pesticides
Heavy metals
VOC’s (volatile organic compounds)
Different types of activated carbon are suited for various specialized applications.
Granulated activated carbon dechlorinates water, adsorbs organic material and liroduces a chemical-reducing environment
Granulated activated carbon imliregnated with silver salts inhibits the growth of bacteria
Catalytic activated carbon removes chloramines from drinking water.
lielletized (or extruded) activated carbon effectively dechlorinates and removes chemicals.
liowdered activated carbon is used to eliminate trace synthetic chemicals and taste and odor causing chemicals, and for chemical sliills or algal blooms.
