Remove Arsenic from Your Drinking Water
Arsenic (As) enters drinking water supplies from natural deposits in the earth or from agricultural and industrial practices. Surface arsenic-related pollutants enter the groundwater system by gradually moving with the flow of groundwater from rains, melting snow, etc. Arsenic won’t affect the taste or smell of drinking water enough to call attention to such contamination. Like many contaminants in drinking water, arsenic is potentially hazardous at levels or concentrations that do not impart a noticeable taste, odor, or appearance of the water.
Arsenic is not easily dissolved in water. Therefore, if it is found in a water supply, it usually comes from mining or metallurgical operations or from runoff from agricultural areas where materials containing arsenic were used as industrial poisons. Arsenic in water has no color, taste or odor. Arsenic and phosphate easily substitute for one another chemically, therefore commercial grade phosphate can have some arsenic in it. Arsenic is highly toxic and has been classified by the US EPA as a carcinogen, which was derived from toxicity considerations rather than carcinogenicity. The current MCL for arsenic is 0.010 mg/l as of 01/23/06.
Pre-filtration
Water flows through a 20” sediment cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand, and dirt.
Post-filtration
Water flows through a 20" solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's), & any remaining insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents.
Arsenic Removal Water Filter
Water flows through an Arsenic reducing mineral tank.
SMART Water Filter (optional)
Water flows through our SMART special house blend of 2 types of coconut-shell GAC (including Catalytic) with 2 types of Eagle Redox Alloys® (9500 & 6500) & anion exchange resin. This blend effectively reduces & removes heavy metals, chlorine & chloramine, pesticides & herbicides, pharmaceutical by-products & other inorganic substances such as petroleum byproducts. Ceramic and Tourmaline balls to enhance the water and maintain a more alkaline pH.
Important to Know
Pinholes or rust may occur on stainless steel tanks in environments with high humidity, when salt is present or if condensation remains on tank without being routinely wiped down. If your system will be exposed to one of these factors or you are unable to perform the needed maintenance, we recommend a fiberglass tank.

Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
Does the system filter both arsenic 3 & 5?. Where is it manufactured?
Yes it does reduce / remove both depending upon the levels. It is manufactured in the USA Kenesaw GA
-
How many ppb is this capable at removing? Does it effectively remove arsenic 3? Our levels range from 245 - 505 ppb.
It will address the Arsenic 3 as well. At lower level 245ppb would reduce arsenic by 90-95% and at higher level 505ppb maybe reduce to 80-85%. For best results with removing the Arsenic 3 Chlorination of the well would help to reduce this greatly. You could chlorinate quarterly ( every 3 months to start ) This is using 1 gallon of chlorine bleach to every 20 feet of well letting it set overnight if possible to get maximum results. There is also a dosing system that could be added to the system. ( contact me for more info if interested 800-978-8408 )
I would recommend the 2.0 cf version ( not listed on our web site ) CQE-WH-01148 cost would be $2387.70 above recommendations still woud apply to address the arsenic 3 reduction / removal
Also instead of the pre filter being a sediment we could put a crabon block in its place to address the chlorine more, so pre and post would be carbon block
Please just call me if you have questions 800-978-8408 -
How often does it need servicing?
The pre filter ( Sediment is rinsable and reusable up to 30 times or 12-18 months ) the tank media is usually good for 5-6 years if backwashed per recommendation and the post filter carbon block needs to be replaced every 12-18 months
