How does the V-5 Countertop work?
The V-5's premium water filtration media, multi-stage and patented dual-chamber flow design maximizes contact-time and contaminant removal and/or reduction for a capacity of 5,000 gallons or up to 5 years. The V-5 Countertop water filtration system is designed to addresssediment and/or particulate matter, VOCs, chlorine, chloroform, benzene, pesticides, lead, iron, tastes, odors and hundreds of other potential contaminants and harmful chemicals that may be found in our drinking water. Please see the diagram below for more detailed information regarding the V-5's advanced filtration process.
Stage 1
A special kind of activated carbon that combines the absorption-rate capabilities of traditional carbon with the enhanced properties of catalytic carbon. This combination does a better job of filtering an organic compound like Lindane (a common pesticide). The results are a healthier and more flavorful water.
Stage 2
A superior blend of bituminous coal-based activated carbon--plus the patented ATS ceramic-sorbent media--reduces lead, iron, chlorine, and odors while producing pure, natural-tasting water.
Stage 3
The patented dual-chamber flow design directs water upward through the inner chamber and then downward through the outer chamber for maximized media contact effectiveness.
Housing
Housing elements are ultrasonically bonded to eliminate the use of adhesives, solvents, or seals. This process is healthier, safer, and better for the environment.
