Granular Activated Carbon & Anti-Microbial Filters

Before water reaches the reverse osmosis membrane, it is

subjected to an "Aquathin unidirectional" Granular

Activated Carbon pre-filter. Flow is lengthwise, not

radial, for maximum contact time and organic adsorption,

followed by an 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.

A single gram of steam washed, bituminous grade,

granular activated carbon typically has ~1500 square

meters of surface area—meaning our twin GAC pre-

filters provide over 400 acres (1.62 square kilometers) of

surface area where organic contaminants dissolved in the

water have an opportunity to be adsorbed and eliminated.

This immense GAC surface area also insures complete

and total conversion of chlorine and chloramine—

protecting the Aquathin polyamide thin-film-composite

(TFC) Reverse Osmosis Membrane downstream.

A custom designed and extremely efficient High Flow

(XF-HRO) spiral wound Reverse Osmosis Module

produces up to 45gallons (≈170 liters) of purified water

per day. The Aquathin RO Module utilizes the unique

properties of a semi-permeable material which allows

passage of pure water molecules while not allowing

dissolved salts, heavy metals, organics and disease

causing water-borne microorganisms to pass through.

Our extraordinary module is designed to consistently and

significantly reduce the total dissolved solids in the

source water supply by greater than 97%. It also has a

tremendous capacity to completely reject organic and
