WHCM7-35 Chloramine Whole House Water Filter (150,000 Gallon)

The vast majority of Whole House Systems available today utilize carbon only, a great filter media for common volatile organic contaminants but it does not address the increasingly complex variety of inorganic & organic contaminants that are turning up in water supplies worldwide. 

CuZn’s Wide Spectrum Multi Media Stage System target a wider variety of potential contaminants, including both inorganic & organic contaminants. Learn more about CuZn’s Wide Spectrum Model’s patented filtration process below. 

About CuZn’s WHCM7-35  patented Dual Media filtration process:

The WHCM7-35 Wide Spectrum model’s process begins with a Micro Sediment Pre-Filter (model#FHCL-102) to remove any physical, insoluble particles out of the water (even though your water runs clear, you will be amazed by how much dirt & grime this filter captures).

The main tank system utilizes CuZn’s proprietary reticulated KDF-85, in addition to a blend of catalytic acid washed coconut shell carbon & zeolite filtration media. 

The Reticulated KDF-85 Filtration Media Stage is a remarkable REDOX media (oxidation/reduction), representing a new and unique natural process of electrochemical oxidation/reduction and adsorption action. KDF-85 targets the dissolved inorganic contaminants (up to 98% of soluble cation heavy metals including mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium, etc.).

Powerful KDF-85 redox media produces an ORP Shift of -300mV or more, creating bacteriostatic environment that prevents the growth of bacteria, mold & other microbial contaminants.

KDF-85 also prevents corrosion and eliminates scale by transforming hardness minerals into crystalline structures that do not adhere to plumbing & appliances (learn more in the What is Salt Free Softening? section below).

SNRF Ion Exchange Coconut Shell Carbon is an adsorbent media that target the volatile organic compounds (chlorine, THMs, disinfection by products, herbicides, pesticides, etc). This carbon is supercharged with an internal modification for ion exchange properties for soluble lead adsorption (Ion Exchange Capacity is 130mg/g). The heavy metal reduction capability is redundant given that reticulated KDF-85 is also incorporated in to the system design, guaranteeing 99% removal of soluble lead (even at high flow rates).  Click here to learn: What organic contaminants does Activated Carbon Filter? 

Zeolite Filtration Media – is a fascinating material with both adsorbent & ion exchange properties. The most prominent application for Zeolite and primary purpose in this application is removal of ammonia residual due to the presence of chloramine (chlorine/ammonia compound). Zeolite compliments activated carbon’s adsorption of volatile organic compounds, as Zeolite tends to offer greater efficacy with the removal certain organics that activated carbon is less efficient adsorbing. It also has shown promise for the removal of various radionuclides with its unique ion exchange properties. 

Salt Free Water Softening & Scale prevention! Unlike traditional salt based water softeners, CuZn Salt Free Systems won’t make your water feel slimy, have hair flattening effects, strip beneficial minerals or add salt to your water. If you have 8 grains of hardness or more, an additional system for High Hardness levels should be purchased for use in tandem with the WHCM7-35 Whole House Water Filtration System, The WHCC7-35H High Hardness System (add on system for high hardness above 8 grains).

Our technologically advanced salt free Anti-Scale Medias are an innovative solution that prevents all of the negative effects of calcium and magnesium, while allowing the positive health benefits to remain by not removing the calcium and magnesium. Within a water system, calcium and magnesium can adhere to plumbing and water appliances by forming crystalline scale structures. Untreated, these minerals become hard, interfere with heat transfer and eventually cause loss of water flow and pressure. Untreated hardness can increase your home’s energy bill up to 20%!

KDF reshapes these hardness ions so they cannot adhere to each other or to the inside of plumbing. Instead the calcium and magnesium ions remain soluble in the water, thus preventing scale while adding life to the water.

*In some cases harsh detergents, high in chlorine/bleach or phosphates can cause mineral like deposits to form on dishes. To avoid this issue use Jet Dry or similar product, reduce the amount of harsh detergent used or best of all – Use an Eco Friendly brand

Replace the WHCM7-35 every 150,000 gallons or 5 years, whichever comes first:

Check your water bill to calculate how much water your home uses every year

• FOR EXAMPLE: If use around 5,000 gallons a month, multiply (5,000) times (12) and you’ll find that your using roughly 60,000 gallons a year.
