water filters & uv sterilizers

F MODEL FILTERS ARE EASY TO SERVICE
No tools needed... remove old cartridges and slide in new cartridges over standpipes in filter housing.
Periodic replacement of the filter cartridge is the only regular maintenance required. Frequency depends on the turbidity of the water supply and the amount of water used. Under average conditions this is once every four months.

and "DualSeal" Cartridges
All Stainless Steel Housing
Heavy duty 10 ga stainless steel housing rated at 125 psid working pressure.
Unique “DualSeal” Double O-Ring seal Filter Elements
Conventional cartridge-type filters depend upon compression of the cartridge top and bottom to effect a seal. However, tests indicate, that the average cartridge loses some rigidity when wet, making it impossible to maintain this original seal. F Model Filters, however, do not rely on compression. Instead, using an innovative “DualSeal” double O-ring design whereby the cartridge slides over a center standpipe, they are sealed top and bottom by internal O-rings to insure first- day effectiveness for the life of the cartridge.
PF Cartridges Provide Complete Particle Filtration
PF elements remove sediment and other suspended particles using cartridges made from thermally-bonded microfibers of polypropylene. "Graded Depth" construction provide element fibers which are wound more tightly toward the core of the cartridge. Consequently, the entire depth of the filter element is used for more effective filtration and longer service life.
ADD A UV STERILIZER... an alternative to Chlorine
Steri-Flo® ultraviolet sterilizers kill bacteria without chlorine or other chemicals and therefore have no cancer-causing by-products. They are recommended as an alternative to chlorine treatment for rural homes on well systems as well as added protection for hospitals, office building, etc. where cyrptosporidium and other micro-organisms may be retained in the biol-film on the walls of city water mains.
STERI-FLO® STERILIZER
The filtration and deep-bed carbon adsorption of Filtrine's particulate filters provide the water clarification needed for effective UV radiation. This greatly improves the efficiency of the ultraviolet radiation because it eliminates shadows caused by turbidity in the water. The ultraviolet rays, in concentrated doses, break through the other cell walls of waterborne micro-organisms and penetrate into the nucleus to destroy the DNA.
