Use to prevent prematurely blocking up your UltraStream when using rain or other non town water supplies
Please note: Some WA & SA water also has higher sediment
Includes:
This 0.5 micron Ceramic PreFilter is used in conjunction with the Alkaway UltraStream for tank water filtration. Installing this prefilter will ensure a good flow from your UltraStream. Periodic cleaning of the ceramic cartridge may be needed to remove sediment buildup from tank water.
This Benchtop Water Filter for Tank Water can be retrofitted to a standard twin system or used as a stand alone filter for camper van, caravan, and motor homes. It delivers safe water regardless of the water supply it is being used on at the time, providing the correct filter cartridge is used. This Benchtop Water Filter system for Tank Water includes a 0.5 micron Ceramic Filter Cartridge.
Designed in an “outside-in” direction this system extends the life of the filter enormously, but like all filtration the dirtier the water, the faster the cartridge will expire.
Filter Cartridge Specifications:
Size: 10″ x 2.5″

How Does this Shower Filter Work?
Our Shower Filter uses KDF media (or Kinetic Degradation Fluxion Media) which is a chemical compound used in water filtration applications. KDF is often used along side activated carbon to maximise the filter’s efficiency. Generally KDF is used in a purification system as a pre-filter, before another, finer stage of filtration, for example, reverse osmosis, de-ionisation and ion exchange systems.
KDF is regarded as being one of the newer developments in water treatment and filtration. Since its development in 1984, it has grown to be widely regarded as one of the best filtration medias available.
In this Shower Filter water passes through a bed of pure KDF or an Activated carbon/KDF mix. As the water makes contact with the KDF particles the Redox reaction takes place, removing such impurities as minerals, metals, dissolved oxygen and organic materials. The KDF itself creates a miniature electrolytic cell within the spaces between each particle, the zinc acting as the anode and the copper acting as the cathode within this cell, and the water and its impurities acting as the electrolyte through which the charge flows. When the contaminants and impurities found in water pass through this electrolytic cell, some substances, especially metals, react to the magnetic force exerted by the electrolytic cell and are attracted to the surface of the KDF particles, where they adhere.
Other non-metal impurities react with the KDF and form zinc oxides, copper hydroxides, hydroxides, and sulfates in the water. These by-products remain within the drinking water, but are not dangerous, also as part of this reaction, ozone is created and carried through into the shower water, forming a hostile environment for algae, bacteria and any other micro-organisms.
Its best results will be found by not exceeding 9 lpm with the ability to flow at a much greater rate if required.
This shower filter has been developed to achieve a high flow capacity or the ability to flow unrestricted. A lot of shower filters are very restrictive which creates problems with the tempering valve on the hot water system.
When extra pressure is pushed back down the hot water line to the tempering valve from a choked shower filter, the valve becomes confused and can switch quickly back and forward from hot to cold and so on. This doesn’t happen with our shower filters.
The UltraViolet water steriliser system is an extremely popular water disinfection alternative. Modern technology is used to create the most natural purification.
Ultraviolet lamps produce germicidal short wave radiation, which eradicates bacteria, viruses and other kinds of microbiological contamination present in all water supplies.
Suitable for ALL OF HOUSE use.
Features Include:
* Commercial Grade Stainless Steel: 316 construction
* Fitted with visual and audible Lamp Fail Alarms
* BSP threaded connections on same side.
* Easy to install brackets
* Efficient, high intensity, low pressure UV lamps
* Lamps parallel to water flow
Specs:
Flow: 50 lpm
Systems Dimensions: Length without plug 900mm (780mm between ports)
Thimble: Quartz Dome type Thimble
Port: 1” (25mm) Male BSP
Lamp Power: 40 watt
Warranty: 12 months
No micro-organism is known to be immune to UV. Heavy duty UV lamps and quartz thimble using highest grade “hard glass” pure fused quartz to allow highest output.
The ultraviolet germicidal system has become an exceptionally popular water disinfection alternative.
These are recommended levels, for use as a guideline for pre-treatment requirements:
Hardness: <120ppm
Turbidity: <1.0NTU
Iron: <0.3ppm
Manganese: <0.05ppm
Tannins: <0.1ppm
These are recommended levels, for use as a guideline for pre-treatment requirements:
If your water quality parameters do not meet these criteria, please contact the distributor for pre-treatment recommendations.
Required:
Pre-treatment must include at least a 5 micron sediment filter installed prior to the unit in order to ensure that particles capable of shielding pathogens are removed from the water prior to entering the system.
The vessel is rated to 1000Kpa. The unit must be installed with an Australian Standards Approved Pressure Limiting Valve.
A shut off valve must be installed prior to the unit in order to turn the water off for servicing and to ensure the flow is restricted to the parameters of the unit.
Ensure adequate clearance at the lamp connection end of the unit in order to safely remove the lamp from the chamber for servicing and lamp replacement.
Space required is at least the length of the UV chamber.
EARTHING:
Before operating this unit, it must be earthed. Simply attach the supplied earthing cable connected to the chamber to an earthing rod.
TECHNICAL DATA:
UV systems are not designed to be turned on and off. Doing this will shorten your lamp life. Lamps should be changed every year. The lamp may still be working, but after 1 year, the power will not be guaranteed to kill bacteria. The unit should be cleaned regularly. Hardness and other particles can build up on the quartz sleeve and on the inside of the UV chamber. 9000 hours (1 year) lamp life Working Pressure 100PSI
Please note, ballast supplied is not waterproof – see instruction manual

First Filter: 0.5 micron Sediment Filter Replace every 12 months $25
Second Filter: Fluoride Reduction Filter cartridge Replace every 9 months or 1800 litres $89
The media in this filter is made from the same material as rubies and sapphires and successfully removes fluoride from your water (up to 80%). This material will not harm those persons with Thyroid issues.
The material in this pre-filter removes fluoride through a chemical reaction with the media; thus the removal is not dependent on ion exchange*.
The process is slow and pH sensitive. The best results are obtained when the flow is limited to 1gpm/cu.ft and the pH is held at 5.5. Higher flows and higher or lower pH causes a loss of capacity.
It is estimated that at 1ppm fluoride in the water the filter will cope with approx 1800L before needing change.
Additionally, the filter is excellent for removing arsenic and lead.
Arsenic removal – is very pH sensitive and capacity decreases rapidly when the pH is below 5.5 or above 6. Arsenic removal is also affected by temperature and by the TDS (total dissolved solids) of the feed water. Increasing temperature increases capacity while increasing TDS decreases capacity.
Dissolved lead is absorbed by the media. Capacity for lead is at least 0.4lb per cu.ft while maintaining greater than 98 percent lead removal. This process is not dramatically affected by flow rate, temperature or TDS. However, pH should be maintained above 6.0 as lead removal drops under acidic conditions and below 10 as lead precipitates under basic conditions.
