Water Filtration Systems
What is the Best Water Filtration System for You? We are committed to ensuring that you have the correct water filter system for your particular situation be it town water, tank water, bore water, groundwater or a combination of these sources. We constantly research and assess new water filter systems and filtration system components examining the latest technology from all over the world as part of our continuous improvement program.
Type 1.
The best solution for most people is undoubtedly an AquaGuard Whole of House Filtration System.
These Filter Systems are remarkably easy to install and because our Whole of House Systems are scaled down Commercial Systems rather than scaled up Domestic Under sink Systems their annual maintenance costs rarely exceed R1000 per year – compared to the R1200 per year it can cost to maintain a scaled up Domestic Under sink System.
AquaGuard Whole of House Filter Systems are a unique design which combine either 2 or 3 filter components – depending on the model – vertically, in series.
AquaGuard Whole of House Filters have an effective filtration capacity of up to 45 litres per minute and reduce water pressure by less than 5% – easily catering for even the largest household – up to six taps can be running at the same time without affecting pressure or filtration efficiency.
They provide 1 micron sediment and bacteria protection, the best quality commercial grade activated charcoal applicable to the particular situation and KDF enhancement of both the bacteria and activated charcoal filters.
KDF Cartridges
KDF short for Kinetic Degradation Fluxion Media is an artificial alloy of copper and zinc that has revolutionised water treatment. The copper in KDF has a positive charge while zinc has a negative, this results in an electrochemical oxidation-reduction reaction. This sounds very complex but the result is that KDF is effective at removing or reducing the following: Mercury, Pesticides, Arsenic, Hydrogen sulphide, Lead, Chlorine, Calcium, Chromium, Cadmium, Aluminium, Nickel, Iron, Rust, Organic particles (thus removing smells and tastes), Limits growth or bacteria, algae, and fungi
The KDF filter also offers protection to household appliances like kettles, dishwashers and hot water systems, as well as reducing those ugly white deposits on shower screens, sinks and taps.
This KDF filter will become increasingly important to home owners as the trend toward Solar Hot Water and Continuous Flow Gas Hot Water Systems increases in popularity. These styles of Hot Water Systems are much less robust than the old style Electric Hot Water Storage Tank Systems and damage from dissolved minerals in water supplies should be a real concern. In fact, Continuous Flow Gas Hot Water System warranties already specifically exclude damage caused by bore water supply for this very reason.
Modern Ceramic Disc Tapware also benefits from the 1-micron particle filter which prevents any fine sediment or grit from damaging the internal sealing surfaces of Ceramic Taps.
Carbon Filtration, AquaGuard Filter System is fitted with a large high quality activated carbon, or silver impregnated activated carbon filter element. This carbon is the highest quality commercial carbon available, the same carbon used by food and beverage companies like Coca Cola and McDonalds all over the world.
Type 2.
UF Or Hollow Glass Fibre – HGF
The very latest in water filtration / purification technology capable of filtering down to 0.002 microns, below the standard needed to filter out viruses from water and the same filtration efficiency as large-scale desalination reverse osmosis plants.
The advantages of HGF Water Purification Systems are considerable.
HGF Water Purification Systems are more efficient in terms of water waste, 90% efficient in fact in comparison with Reverse Osmosis which is at best 40% efficient.
HGF Water Purification Systems are more efficient in terms of flow rate and pressure drop, hence HGF can be installed without the need for a collection tank and pressure system.
HGF Water Purification Cartridges can be as compact as carbon cartridges, but the HGF function is quite different, it serves to block physical particles or bodies from the filtered water, like RO it still needs the assistance of carbon elements to “polish” the water for taste before it is pleasant to drink.
HGF can filter out bacteria and all VIRUSES from tank water, current domestic filtration units can only filter out bacteria, so people in tropical areas where mosquito borne viruses occur can now have absolute bacterial and viral protection in their home filtration system.
The Aquaguard HGF Ultrafilter Pro guarantees reliable, large volume ultra-clean water for Commercial and Industrial applications. Forget Reverse Osmosis, this next-generation technology waste less water and is more energy efficient, and needs no external power source.
Removes chlorine, taste and odour, Giardia, E. coli, Toxic metals, Volatile Organic Compounds, Drugs & Antibiotics, sediment and turbidity.
Type 3.
A Lineguard Ultrafilter uses cutting-edge membrane module technology to provide ultra clean-water. This Ultrafilter removes E coli, Giardia, viruses and cysts; sediment and turbidity; and heavy metals and pesticides – but allows vital minerals to pass through the membranes, ensuring healthy, mineral-balanced water.
This electronically controlled filtration system is certified to produce extreme clean virus-free water by the International Standardization Organization.
