The ULTRA-D Submicron Depth Filtration Series
manufactured using a proprietary, patented, electro-adsorptive media technology, are capable of removing submicron pathogens and inorganic contaminants through electro-adhesion and ion exchange.
This technology makes it possible for a non-woven media to produce filtration efficiency comparable to ultra membrane filtration but at very low pressure drop, with high flow rates and high loading capacity working equally well in fresh, brackish or salt waters.
The ULTRA-D media consists of coated micro-glass fibers produced using a wet laid non-woven manufacturing technology. The base media is laminated between layers of spun-bond to provide both strength and pleat support. The media in the ULTRA-D filter is NSF 61-approved (Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects), and USP Class VI testing and endotoxin testing.
In addition to its submicronic benefits, the ULTRA Red-D Protector filter (version sold above) comes with powdered activated carbon with an average particle size of only 8 microns.
Activated carbon at this particle size produces remarkably high dynamic adsorption*.
The ULTRA-D filter reduces or removes the following pathogens:
- >99.99% viruses (polio, rotavirus, norovirus, etc.)**
- >99.99% bacteria (e coli, legionella, pseudomonas, etc.)**
- >99.95% cysts (giardia, cryptosporidium, etc.)**
**Tested by a certified laboratory in the U.S. (testing was done at 6.5pH)
The ULTRA-D filter removes or reduces the following heavy metals:
- >95% Lead**
- >80% Ferrous Iron**
- >95% Arsenic V**
- >95% Cadmium**
- >85% Chromium**
- >75% Selenium**
- >60% Mercury
**Tested by a certified laboratory in the U.S. (testing was done at 6.5pH)
The ULTRA-D filter removes or reduces the following organics and inorganic chemicals:
- Chlorine
- Bromine
- Iodine
- VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
- PCBs and BPA
- Residual pharmaceuticals
- Biofouling precursors: organic acids, proteins, polysaccharides
Applications for and industries benefiting from the ULTRA-D filtration process:
- Residential use where cost effective systems must be used and presence of pathogenic-laden water is of ongoing concern
- Food and beverage industry for high purity water
- Pharmaceutical industry for high purity water
- Commercial pre-RO and ultra filtration treatment to sustain the life of the membranes
- Greywater recycling for removal of pathogens
- De-salination for pre-filtration
- Other high purity applications
- Water re-cycling treatment for circuit board industry
Benefits using the ULTRA-D Filter Cartridges versus other medias:
- Finer particle retention and filtration capacity (2 to 3-micron pore size comparable to a 0.02-micron size for virus removal)
- Higher loading capacity (up to 25 times greater)
- Greater efficiency in salt, brackish and fresh water
- Wider pH operating window (4-9pH)
- Very low pressure drop (approximately 2 psi)
- Lower cost of ownership
- The capability of using one stand-alone filter system to achieve pathogen, heavy metal, taste and odour, chemical and organics removal or reduction (the carbon and silver version); for a broad range of applications including residential whole-house point-of-entry and point-of-use water filtration; shower filters; portable water filtration for bottles and backpacks; unlimited commercial water filtration applications.
Looks like filter insert is reversible – as no top or bottom marked.
Correct, it’s radial flow so it can be installed either way.
