About the Filtration Process
For drinking water to become crystal clear, a polishing filter is used
prior to an Ultraviolet Light Disinfecting Process. First Water uses a 0.5-micron, Carbon Block Filtration Process as its polishing filter on all of its water purification systems. Because chemicals are adsorbed by the carbon, the filter needs to be changed every 6 months. This filter has the capabilities of reducing Giardia and Cryptosporidium Cysts, Herbicides, Pesticides, Trihalomethanes (THMs), certain Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs), Chlorine and Chlorine By-Products, Sediment, Bad Taste, Odors, Color, Smell, and many other Harmful Chemicals and Contaminants down to 0.5 micron.

About the Ultraviolet Light Disinfecting Process
First Water's Ultraviolet Light disinfecting process makes the crystal clear water to be channeled around the UV light rays in a unique double-pass method. The Ultraviolet light rays pass through clear water much easier then through cloudy, sediment laden, dirty (turbid) water. When harmful microbes are exposed to the UV rays, their nucleic acid absorbs the light rays, which then scrambles the DNA structure and prohibits reproduction of the cell therefore rendering the cell sterile and no longer able to reproduce. The cell is now consider dead and is no longer a threat to water consumption. The UV bulb in all systems needs to be replaced every 12 months with normal usage. The UV process the ability to kill the Bacteria, Viruses, Typhoid Fever, Coliform, Dysentery, Cholera, Infectious Jaundice, Hepatitis and Influenza Virus, E-coli, Enteric Fever and many other unwanted microorganisms to a 99.999% purity.

The In-Line™ |
The In-Line™ maintains the same water purification capabilities as all First Water® products, but has been designed to mount directly on a wall. It utilizes existing AC power sources and plumbing available on-site (it has no pump or power supply). It is perfect for facilities that need to maintain ice machine production, dish washing operations and decontamination showers, as well as under sinks for kitchens and general usage. The units plumb directly into the existing facility infrastructure and need stable power from facility generators and some water flowing through pipes. If these are unavailable, the Responder™ family of water purification products should be used as they have a pump and have their own power source. |
|
The In-Line-2™ offers exceptional water purification efficiencies, producing up to 120 gallons per hour of purified water from compromised municipal water supply piping systems, and the In-Line-8™ produces up to 480 gallons per hour. |

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMMON USES
- Great for any facility planning for potential disruption of water availability
- The high flow capacity available makes it a great choice for most facilities and business continuation requirements
- Requires a minimum of 20 psi flow because it has no pump
DEVELOPING AREA COMMON USES
- Ideal for any application where a water supply is available, but the quality of the water is suspect
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
- 120 or 480 gallons per hour capacity
- Wall mounted (permanent, fixed-in-place)
- Utilizes existing building plumbing and electrical supply
