10 INCH DIRECT LINE UV WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA

1 Micron Sediment Filter removes particles from the water down to 1 micron Premium KDF Filter contains activated carbon mixed with KDF. The KDF has anti-bacterial properties and prevents the growth of bacteria within the filter, thus extending its life to twice that of standard activated carbon Ultra Filtration Membrane (UF) Filter is a physical barrier that will not allow bacteria to pass through. The membrane is made from an organic substance and thus contains a preservative to keep it in optimal condition. This preservative needs to be flushed from the system before drinking water is produced Ultra Violet (UV) Light; uses UV Rays at a specific Frequency to damage to the DNA of Bacteria and Micro-Organisms, preventing them from performing biological functions such as breeding and feeding. The UV Light provides you with an additional barrier against bacteria content The Ultra Violet Light's Bulb Needs to be replaced once every 12 months (8000 to 9000 Hours) irrespective of the quality of the source water. Flushing the system: This is done by running water through the system until the preservative cannot be detected in a sample glass of water. The preservative leaves a film on the water and also has a bitter taste. If you are seeing this in your water after a new installation, flush and test until no hints of the preservative can be detected. Please note if there is a white colour to the water that settles out towards the top of the glass, this is most likely caused by tiny air bubbles in the water. This should subside over time as excess air in the system is removed. The air bubbles in the water will not affect the quality of your drinking water. Filter lifespan is determined by the quality of the source water that runs through them.  So if your source water is of a very bad quality, your filters will be doing more work to clean the water that is flowing through them. Thus depleting sooner than filters running under good water conditions. So, in short, each end-users filter requirements will be different as their source waters are different. We advise you check your filters on a monthly basis after initial install to get a feel for the quality of the water in your area.
