    IMPORTANT NOTE: For private well owners we recommend that you choose the Aquathin PEARL with PBA-G booster pump system which includes a booster pump and is completely configured at the factory. This eliminates fluctuations in line or low pressure associated with private wells and ensures your PEARL system operates at peak efficiency.

  • Page 24: Getting To Know Your System

    GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AQUATHIN PEARL RO/DI SYSTEM Your Aquathin PEARL system combines the three most effective water purification technologies available. Alone, each of these methods is highly effective for a particular group of pollutants—but only when combined can you be assured of complete removal of all contaminants.

  • Page 25: Granular Activated Carbon Pre-Filters

    Aquathin AquaShield Anti-microbial Filter. Aquathin has designed twin carbon filters in this stage where other ordinary assembler use only a single cartridge. By using twin cartridges we insure complete removal of organic contaminates including pesticides, herbicides, and other hydrocarbon based compounds.

  • Page 26: Aquathin Deionization Module

    EPA EST. NO. 52531-FL-01 The Aquathin Reverse Osmosis Module used in this system can tolerate significantly higher concentrations of oxidizing contaminants like iron and manganese than RO modules found in other systems, as well as a much higher degree of hardness.

  • Page 27: Operating Parameters

    The Aquathin HRO TFC module will hold up very well when the pH of the feed water is between 2 and 11. Water supplies with pH over 11 are very rarely, if ever, found.

  • Page 28: Sediment

    TFC Reverse Osmosis Module. Therefore, it is essential to remove chlorine from your feed water before it reaches the RO Module. Your Aquathin RO/ DI system includes a pre-filter containing a special grade of grade of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) which will very effectively remove chlorine and chloramines from your tap water.

  • Page 30 It's like this: we would rather explain price once than apologize for poor quality and service the rest of our life. In 1980 Aquathin made the decision at the onset; that we would never sacrifice or lower quality for price… too much depends on it.

    These simple steps will insure your unit consistently produces ultra-pure water meeting Aquathin standards. Take care of your Aquathin system and it will provide many years of healthy drinking and cooking water for your entire family.

These conditions vary greatly across municipalities, so it is difficult to state precisely how long your pre-filters will last.
  • Page 39 Q: How long will my CARB 6 post-filter last before it needs to be replaced? A: Your Aquathin PEARL system has been designed to operate within a wide range of tap water conditions. These conditions vary greatly across municipalities, so it is difficult to state precisely how long your post-filter will last.
