Now there is a proven and inexpensive way to have clean, safe, high quality water from every tap and shower in your house with just one Blackstone HomeGuard Ionising whole of house water filter.
For your information technical details of how the HomeGuard Ionising water filter achieves its amazing results are set out below

Filtration Stages:
|
|
1. Vortex.
The HomeGuard Water Filter is fitted with a Vortex Water Spinner
The centripetal, inward-directed movement of water through a vortex placed in the filter causes it to become rejuvenated and brings life back into your water. The water enters the filter in an anti clockwise vortex. This is the natural direction of movement of water down a drain hole in the southern hemisphere. This vortex has been designed with veins on the periphery of the vortex spine to imitate the flow forms of water as it travels along a rocky stream. The length to width ratio of the vortex is a harmonic of the earths resonance.

2. Particulate Removal.
The HomeGuard water filter is fitted with a One micron bag pre filter
Many situations arise where a source water requiring filtration is loaded with a fine particulate that needs to be removed from the water prior to filtration with activated Carbon. This fine particulate which if removed by the carbon filter element will reduce the carbon filter elements life expectancy and effectiveness as a molecular filter.
There is also a group of contaminants, which includes microscopic worms, parasites and protozoa. The biggest offenders are Giardia Lambda and Cryptosporidium, which cause major diarrheoa, dehydration, intestinal disorders and even death. Water experts estimate that over 63% of water problems are directly caused by Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Giardia is seven to fourteen microns in size and Cryptosporidium is from three to five microns in size. When the environment becomes inhospitable (like in the presence of chlorine), both parasites can go into the cystic form (like a hard, round, impermeable microscopic egg). The cyst form is resistant to chlorine and very hard to kill. Municipal water authorities are unable to remove the cysts economically. Healthy individuals infected by these parasites experience cholera like illness: watery diarrhoea, headache, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and low-grade fever. For the immuno-compromised, however, the results of the infection are much more severe; the parasite can severely damage the liver and respiratory tract, as well as the gall bladder and pancreas. Even worse, there is a 40% to 50% mortality rate for the immuno-compromised. Those at risk include cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, infants, the elderly, kidney dialysis patients, recent transplant patients, aids patients and others with suppressed immune systems. The only sure way of removing these cysts and other protozoa and fine particulate material is to run the water through a membrane with a mesh size of less than 3 microns.

3. Fluoride Removal Media.
The HomeGuard water filter is fitted with a large high quality fluoride removal filter element
Flouride removal is achieved by passing the water through an activated media filter element which aggressively and effectively removes the free fluoride from the water in one simple adsorption process Activated alumina is manufactured from aluminium hydroxide by dehydroxylating it in a way that produces a highly porous material; this material can have a surface area significantly over 200 square metres/g. The compound is used as a desiccant (to keep things dry by absorbing water from the air) and as a filter of fluoride, arsenic and selenium in drinking water. It is made of aluminium oxide (alumina; Al2O3), the same chemical substance as sapphire and rubies (but without the impurities that give those gems their color). It has a very high surface-area-to-weight ratio. That means it has a lot of very small pores, almost like tunnels, that run throughout it.

4. KDF Process Media
The HomeGuard water filter is fitted with a KDF Ion Exchange element
What are KDF Process Media and how do they work? KDF Process Media are high-purity, granulated copper and zinc-based alloys that treat water through a process based upon the principle of redox (Oxidation-Reduction). Originally, KDF was shorthand for Kinetic Degradation Fluxion We can explain redox like this: KDF Fluid Treatment's unique combination of copper and zinc creates an electro-chemical reaction. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new elements are created. Some harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Free chlorine, for instance, is changed into benign, water-soluble chloride. Similarly, some heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury and others, react to plate out onto the medium's surface, thus being effectively removed from the water supply. Why use KDF Process Media? So why consider using KDF Process Media? We can give you two good reasons. One: Because KDF Process Media enhances the performance, extends the life, reduces the maintenance and lowers the total cost of many available carbon-based systems. Two: KDF Process Media help control microorganisms by creating an environment that's deadly to some microorganisms and that interferes with the ability of many other microorganisms to function. Either way, the use of KDF Process Media results in the total elimination of some contaminants and a great reduction of a wide variety of others.

5.CARBON FILTRATION.
The HomeGuard filter is fitted with a large high quality Colloidal silver impregnated activated carbon element
It has the capacity to remove not only Chlorine taste and odour, but also bacteria, herbicides, pesticides and many other harmful chemicals that can be found in town water. see the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (click here to be redirected) and has the added protection of Colloidal silver to prevent bacterial growth.

Now you know all the technical stuff but the most important information is that the Blackstone HomeGuard Ion Exchange Water Filter has all of these important filtration and water treatment components built in as part of our high quality and high flow rate water filter that is ideal for your whole of house application to protect you and your family.
