WaterKlean™ Water Softener Filter Media

Hard Water Problem and Solution

The presence of high levels of calcium and non-alkaline salts dissolved in water causes it to be hard. The usage of water in domestic and industrial applications require that it remain an effective solvent. When water is hard, it causes numerous problems. Soap, for instance, becomes ineffective in the presence of calcium and larger quantities are required to start its detergent action.

Calcium ions present as Ca(HCO3)2 could also react to produce insoluble limestone, CaCO3. Precipitation of the latter is harmful to pipes because it can encrust the inner walls and eventually obstruct them. This can result in damaging both industrial machinery and home appliances like washing machines and dish washers.

The WaterKlean™ Water Softener Filter Media was specially designed to alleviate the problem of hard water that has plagued many homes as well as businesses safely and cost effectively. As an added benefit, WaterKlean™ is also capable of removing toxic heavy metals, radioactive metals, and unpleasant odors from water. To use, simply insert in water filters. WaterKlean™ can be regenerated for reuse by passing a solution of 10% sodium chloride through it.

WaterKlean™ is non-toxic, safe, reusable recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for softening hard water without adding pollutants to the environment. WaterKlean™ does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of WaterKlean™ water softening filter media.

In many parts of the world, the presence of high levels of calcium and non-alkaline salts dissolved in water causes it to be hard. The usage of water in domestic and industrial applications require that it remain an effective solvent. When water is hard, it causes numerous problems.

How WaterKlean™ Works

WaterKlean™ Water Softener Filter Media is a natural product that can be used to eliminate calcium, heavy metal contaminants and odors from water. The molecular structure of WaterKlean™ is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives WaterKlean™ a large surface area of 40 m2/g and a cation exchange capacity of 1.85 meq/g.

WaterKlean™ works through a process of ion exchange, absorption and adsorption. WaterKlean™, which is negatively charged, draws in calcium ions, heavy metal cations, and odoriferous gases like a strong magnet. Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates them. Regeneration of this product is also feasible.

Environmentally Friendly

WaterKlean™ Water Treatment Filter Media is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented, non-flammable, and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for treating hard water without using pollutants. WaterKlean™ does not contain chemical additives and is especially beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.

Applications

WaterKlean™ Water Softener Filter Media can be effectively used to eliminate calcium from hard water and soften it in the following applications:

• Domestic Water
• Industrial Water
• Commercial Water
• Municipal Water
• Agricultural Water

Directions

WaterKlean™ Water Softener Filter Media can be effectively used to soften water by installing it in water filters. This product should be thoroughly rinsed before using to remove any small filter media that may be present due to shipping. WaterKlean™ can be regenerated for reuse by passing a solution of 10% sodium chloride through it.

Disposal

The unused WaterKlean™ Water Softener Filter Media are non-hazardous and environmentally safe. However, this will change if it is exposed to hazardous or toxic substances. Used Smelleze™ should be disposed according to all relevant local, state, and federal regulations.
