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 Recycler™ |
The Recycler™ family of specialty water purification systems are the largest units available from First Water, with two models specifically designed to ether provide significant amounts of
cleaner, safer drinking water or to work with Decon shower systems in the following two critical ways: |
|
1. The Recycler™ can purify up to either 1200 or 2400 gallons of water per hour to provide cleaner, fresher water for most emergency purposes |
|
2. The Recycler™ can purify used shower water and return clean, fresh water to the showers in a recycled system. |
