| Imagine
if you could have water in your home that is 100% Safe from
every tap. Well that's no longer a dream; it has now become
a reality!
As
the global population continually increases, existing water
infrastructure systems get older and dilapidated, and clean
water resources slowly get more polluted and diminish, we
see a world-wide trend for people to take on the responsibility
of ensuring and providing 100% safe drinking water for themselves
and their families, rather than relying on municipally treated
water alone.
This has lead to the world-wide acceptance and usage of a
vast range of domestic water purification systems to ensure
a consistent supply of good quality drinking water in the
office and the home, especially in these times when the quality
of municipally treated and supplied water cannot always be
guaranteed. These same variable conditions exist in South
Africa, and with the steady decline in the quality of the
water from our rivers and dams, it has become essential for
Southern Africans to also take ownership of their personal
well being, and take appropriate actions.
Recently
in the press it has been shown that many of the municipal
water treatment plants in SA are not delivering water that
meets the WHO standards for potable water or conform to South
African Blue Drop Status; this is especially the case in the
smaller municipalities. The only way to ensure that your drinking
water is 100% safe, 100% of the time is to protect yourself
with a good quality, private water purification system.
Take
control of the water quality
in your home, and ensure the
health and safety of your family.
Ultra-Filtration
systems are specifically designed to eliminate any biological
content, suspended matter and some organic acids by using
a membrane that has a filtration capability approximately
1000 times finer than a common sand filter, which leaves beneficial
dissolved minerals in place but ensures the elimination of
all unwanted constituents.
H2O
International SA has now launched its new H20 UF-200 which
is arguably the best small-medium scale Ultra-Filtration system
on the market, and will take care of 90% of all water treatment
problems being experienced today. H2O international SA have
been the Southern African leaders in the water purification
business for over a decade now and they have never come across
a domestic Ultra-Filtration system that works as efficiently
and as effectively as this. The H2O UF-200 is the most comprehensive
water filtration system on the market to date, capable of
dealing with a wide range of water problems from varying water
quality sources. What's more is that this system can not only
provide safe, filtered water from just one tap, but from every
water spout in the home, including showers and baths. It really
is the perfect home filtration solution.
Benefits:
With
a 0.02 micron absolute cut-off point of suspended particles,
you can rest assured that all harmfull, non-dissolved contaminants
including amoeba, protozoa, bateria, cysts, coliforms and
even waterborne viruses will be completely removed from your
water by the
H20 UF-200.
The UF200 utilizes a robust, German Manufactured Ultra Filtration
membrane that has a filtration capability of 0.02-micron,
which leaves dissolved minerals in place but ensures the elimination
of all unwanted constituents such as:
All
biological content including:
-
Macro-biological entities, such as Giardia, Cryptosporidium,
Amoeba, Protozoa, and the spawn or offspring, which are
produced by some macro-organisms such as cysts.
-
Microbiological entities such as common bacteria, cholera,
all coliforms, etc. and
-
Waterborne viruses.
All
suspended matter including:
-
Silicate (sand) material even when present as colloidal
dust. (Colloidal material is typically characterized by
the inherent small particle size distribution and the
fact that it will remain in suspension indefinitely).
-
Metal oxides, which typically reveal a particle size distribution
of between 0.08- to 20-micron.
-
Bio-solids produced due to biological activity and typically
the consistency of globules of gelatinous material such
as the slime formed by Oscillatory filamentous bacteria
etc.
-
Some organic acids at times naturally present and responsible
for discoloration and Turbidity which has an aesthetic
influence of water quality.
The
Ultra-Filtration media incorporated in the UF200 is essentially
for all practical purposes the finest filtration process technically
available which leaves, by nature and design, dissolved minerals
in place that are from a health point of view required.
Specifications:
The UF200 is designed to filter water down to the stipulated
0.02-micron capability at a rate of 200-litres per hour.
Each
unit assembled is factory checked and verified by means of
a test solution and actual results are as recorded below Table-1

test information:
-
The particle exclusion zone is visible at 0.02-microns.
-
BDL – Below Detection Limit or in other words negligible
solids concentration.
-
Note: The human eye can only pick up particles when the
size fraction is 12- micron and greater. In other words
the particles, which remained behind in the UF200 –
Filtered product water will not be visible to the unaided
human eye.
