Omnipure Filtration Media

Omnipure Filtration Media

Taste and Odor Reduction
Granulated Carbon (GAC) has long been utilized to reduce impurities in potable water. It is widely recognized for its adsorption capacity plus its ability to reduce dissolved organics and chemicals such as chlorine. These and other impurities can cause undesirable taste, odor and color in water.
Omnipure offers several choices of GAC for use in any filter body. Standard choices include 20x50 mesh, used in most conventional instances, and acid washed activated carbon which is used in specific situations where highly polished filtered water is required. Specialized carbon selections are also available.

Function: Elimination or reduction of inorganic contaminants and impurities that can cause undesirable taste, odor and colour in potable water.

Selection:
Coconut or coal based activated carbon in varying mesh sizes available in granular or block form.

Sediment Removal
Omnipure inline sediment filters are used to eliminate sediment before it reaches sensitive equipment such as other filters, ice makers, coffee machines, pumps, R.O. units or purification systems.

We incorporate the most effective sediment removal technologies to address specific problems. The various media are effective in reducing contaminants ranging in size from 50 microns to as low as 1 micron, depending on the need. Filtration down to 1 micron is adequate to reduce cysts such as giardia and cryptosporidium.

The Omnipure design utilizes a multi-layer depth filtration construction that is vastly superior to single layer alternatives. The benefits of this process are threefold. Overall filtration capacity is increased, pressure drop due to sediment buildup is reduced and service life is greatly extended.

Function: Elimination or reduction of dirt, grit, sand, rust and other solid particles that can damage downline equipment. Elimination of cysts such as giardia and cryptosporidium.

Selection:
Polypropylene, ceramic or pleated.

Scale Inhibitor
Used in situations where "hard water" is a problem, polyphosphate is a food grade product that inhibits scaling and controls the corrosion or rusting of pipes and equipment. Scaling and corrosion are the result of lime and iron (in soluble form) reacting with metal in pipes or equipment, forming a solid (scale or rust). Polyphosphate solves this problem by holding these contaminants in suspension, which keeps them from reacting with the metals in pipes or equipment.

Often used in conjunction with GAC, polyphosphate is ideal for the protection of equipment such as ice makers, beverage equipment, and pumps. It is excellent for potable water because it is tasteless and odorless.

Function: Inhibition of scale and rust deposits on pipes and equipment.

Selection:
Polyphosphate.

Omnipure Carbon Block

Omnipure introduced its own carbon block filtration media in the spring of 1999. With the market demanding better, more refined filtration options, Omnipure felt the need to supply their customers the best media option available. The only way to do this was to start from the ground up and create a new, innovative carbon block.

Omnipure's engineering team created a new, state-of-the-art compression molding process. This advanced method produces a strong, one piece block with an extended life. It is unsurpassed at removing chlorine, sediment, taste, odor and organic contaminants. Due to its highly uniform molded structure, the Omnipure carbon block benefits include the reduction of carbon fines release and elimination of channeling and bypass.

Technology and Benefits
OmnipureBlock^™ consists of finely powdered activated carbon particles that have been bonded together to form a totally uniform, solid profile with superior adsorptive capacity and kinetic efficiency. Omnipure filters and cartridge elements are designed to flow in a radial, outside to inside direction resulting in low pressure drop, high flow rate and increased dirt holding capacity.

Manufactured entirely from FDA approved materials, the OmnipureBlock^™ is suitable for residential point-of-use water filtration as well as commercial and food service applications. The OmnipureBlock^™ is manufactured from high purity activated carbon and is designed to fit most standard household and commercial housings.
