Fluoride/Arsenic/Lead Filter
Return to Pre-Filters page
This fluoride filter is really effective at reducing
or removing fluoride from your tap. It is rated to
be able reduce fluoride from 10ppm levels down to
.02 ppm. The filter is also able to reduce arsenic
and lead to a lesser degree. It is mainly a fluoride
filter.
AAL
Fluoride Filter Technical Information
The AAL is a non-regenerable drinking water and
general-purpose cartridge designed to reduce
fluorides to below 0.5 ppm. It is constructed
totally from FDA grade materials and media.
The AAL cartridge utilizes a special fine mesh
activated alumina that has been pre-conditioned
specifically for single use cartridge
applications. Laboratory evaluations have
demonstrated that this pre-conditioning step
will increase the AAL capacity to as high as
11000 ppm F+ with effluent levels below 0.2 ppm
from 10 ppm F+ feed. This is very effective
performance and it is a better media than bone
char for removing fluoride.
High pH, high bicarbonate levels and high flow
rates all adversely affect the capacity of the
AAL. For best results, do not exceed recommended
flow rates and pH conditions. For influent
streams above 100 ppm of bicarbonate, reduce
capacity by 50%; above 200 ppm, reduce capacity
by 75%.
ARSENIC
The AAL has also been shown to reduce arsenic to
below 0.02 ppm (from 0.12 ppm feed). However,
the total capacity for arsenic has yet to be
determined.
