5
Stages of Multi-Chambered Filtration
First
Filter Bed- Mechanical Filtration
• 4-micron Anti-Channel Filter Disks • 2 additional self-cleaning filter screens.
This
type of filtration removes suspended particles such as
silt, sediment,
sand, rust, dirt, and other un-dissolved matter that can potentially
clog the remaining beds.
Second Filter Bed - Catalox
A
Natural Choice... A naturally mined mineral, which has been used in
water treatment for more than 80 years. This media works on the
principle of catalyst reaction, but itself remains relatively
unchanged; this makes it last almost indefinitely.
Catalox is a
specially formulated 20x40 Mesh size manganese dioxide possessing
exceptionally high oxidative properties. It is a granular filtration
media for iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide reduction, and works on
a principle whereby the hydrogen sulfide, iron and manganese are
oxidized and trapped on the media while simple backwashing cleans the
bed. No chemical regeneration is required, nothing is imparted into the
drinking water and Catalox has a high capacity for low contaminant
concentrations. It will also remove chlorine without being used up like
carbon. Chlorine in municipal water supplies actually improves its
performance, making it remove more than it does on its own and keeps
the filter media clean. It provides a higher level of
contaminant-oxidizing power. It can filter dissolved solids down to
20-microns. This keeps many toxic materials out of succeeding filter
beds for purer drinking water and longer life.
Third Filter Bed -
Electro-Chemical/"Redox" Process: KDF-55D
KDF
(Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) is a patented media that is a giant step
forward in water filter technology. KDF process media are high-purity
copper-zinc granules used in a number of pretreatment, primary
treatment and wastewater treatment applications. KDF media supplement
or replace existing technologies to dramatically extend life of the
system, control heavy metals, toxic gases and microorganisms, lower
total cost, and decrease maintenance. KDF process media work to reduce
or remove chlorine, iron, hydrogen sulfide, lead, mercury, calcium
carbonate, magnesium, chromium, bacteria, algae, fungi, and much more!
KDF
media utilizes an old process in a new way - the oxidation and
reduction of ions, known as redox... the principle of
Oxidation-Reduction or Redox potential. Redox media remove virtually
any soluble heavy metal, help prevent mineral hardness scale
accumulation, and reduce levels of microorganisms. Chlorine is
instantaneously and almost inexhaustibly oxidized. Tests on our
appliance have shown 99.9+% chlorine removal past 20,000 gallons of
water while a high quality carbon cartridge of comparable volume drops
below 90% effectiveness after only 4,000 gallons.
Iron
and hydrogen sulfide are oxidized into insoluable matter and attach to
the surface of the media. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, iron,
cadmium and aluminum are removed from the water by the electrochemical
process. They are attracted to the surface of the media, much like a
magnet. In short, the redox process works by exchanging electrons
with contaminants. This give and take of electrons converts many
harmful contaminants into harmless components, such as chlorine to
chloride. Other contaminants, including heavy metals, bond to the KDF
media, which greatly reduces or virtually eliminates these substances.
The
media also inhibits bacteria, algae, and fungi growth throughout the
entire unit (in fact, has been shown to reduce it up to 99%!). KDF
process media control microorganisms in two ways. The first is a
by-product of redox; the exchange of electrons sets up an electrolytic
field in which most microorganisms cannot survive. Secondly, the
process of forming hydroxyl radicals and peroxides
from some of the water molecules interferes with the microorganisms'
ability to function.

In
a nutshell, KDF has several strong points:
1.
Removes
heavy metals and inorganic toxins
that other media do not; so when it
is used before our tightly packed coconut shell, carbon bed (GAC), the
drinking water will not contaminate this filter bed (GAC), making it
last many times longer.
2. Is proven to kill
bacteria as
copper and zinc ions are eluted through the carbon bed. It has EPA
approval as a non-toxic device for controlling bacteria in drinking
water systems. Unlike other media like Silver impregnated carbon, which
can be toxic and has to be registered with the EPA because of it. This
media does not, and besides, it is much superior.
3.
Removes iron, sulfur, and other common minerals that at higher levels
are very offensive to smell and taste. These minerals are removed from
the surface of this media in the WHOLLY WATER ® backwash cycle so it
can remain clean to keep on working, protecting the carbon bed.
(reduces lime scale, mold, and fungi in your tub or shower.)
4. Harmless Protection – KDF is not toxic and does not cause
any adverse side effects. 100 percent recyclable!
NOTE:
These first 3 filter beds benefit greatly by the quick and easy,
leak-free, push-button, backwash cycle built into every WHOLLY WATER ®.
Fourth Filter Bed -
Activated alumina
A major breakthrough in Fluoride and Arsenic removal. (also removes
selenium.) Research has resulted in Wholly Water® under sink water filter to be
very effective for FLUORIDE & ARSENIC removal. Most of us know
Arsenic is a poison. How many of you know Fluoride
is too?!!! These
stages feature Activated alumina. This is State-of-the-Art, and are
specifically formulated for selectively removing ARSENIC and FLUORIDE,
the King and Queen of Poisons.
From the beginning, Wholly
Water ® has been excellent in removing these. Patented technology
allows us to enhance this purifier for specific contaminants without
affecting the broad range that it removes. Please note that Nitrates
and Nitrites will be the exception. Our research has resulted in
targeting arsenic and fluoride as they are extremely toxic and
insidious. Their toxicity is cumulative; they buildup in your body over
time. They are also very reactive and combine with other common
substances making toxic compounds. They may do bodily harm in much less
time. EXAMPLE: Aluminum & Fluoride Aluminum is added to water at
virtually all water treatment facilities. It is left in the water as a
result of adding ALUM, a clarifying chemical. Fluoride is both natural
and added to water as FLUORIDATION. How ever it gets into the water, it
does not change the fact that it is pollution. For more on this, read
this Article by George Glasser. US Environmental Protection Agency
reveals that tens of millions of Americans may be at risk from
fluoridated drinking water. Read More.
Fifth Filter Bed - Granulated Activated
Carbon, or "GAC"
SIX full pounds of
highest grade premium coconut shell, de-dusted, Granulated Activated
Carbon (GAC)!
This
special, highly compacted activated coconut carbon has 200 to 300% the
contaminant-removal capacity of coal carbon used in most filters.
Coconut shell carbon provides a significantly higher volume of
micropores than either coal, wood, or lignite-based carbon. As a
result, it is more effective than other carbon types in removing
trihalomethanes (THMs) and other chemcials from municipally supplied
water. We pack it tightly with special vibrating tables before
installing the separator disk. We use many times more carbon than other
brands of filters. 6 full pounds!
What
does GAC remove besides bad taste and odor? GAC is best known for its
ability to adsorb organic contaminants such as
herbicides, pesticides,
industrial chemicals, and trihalomethanes (THMs), and many more
poisonous materials. The list is long, and that is great for you. GAC
does have many draw backs - most notably a short life. Short because
there are many things in water that GAC will filter out. When this fine
material has to filter out sediments - iron, sulfur, chlorine, and even
calcium will plug it up. GAC has billions of microscopic cavities and
acres of surface area. The removal capability is enormous. To waste
this area on filtering these other things robs it from its ability to
do what it does better than any other water filter media.
Most
filter designs use GAC as first stage media, which is why you have to
change the cartridges every few months. With Wholly Water’s ® previous
filter beds, we have removed the materials that shorten its life. We
keep it clean so it can do what it does best for the longest possible
time. One of the other major drawbacks is that bacteria is growing in
this media. As described above for KDF, it solves that problem! But
this patented design does something else other filters don't, and we
patented it. Bacteria feed on the trapped materials (like the ones
listed above) that plug up the GAC. Wholly Water ® removes most of
these before they can get to the GAC, so there is much less of a
bacteria threat to begin with.
- Even
after 20,000 Gallons, this filter Remains
Supremely Effective!

Consumer Warranty
for the WHOLLY
WATER® Drinking Water Appliance
In Residential
Application Only (for United States & Canada).
1. PRESSURE VESSEL: WHOLLY WATER ® The Ultimate Drinking Water Appliance is designed to
meet or exceed the Safe Drinking Water Act standard for municipal
water supply. Not designed to be used on unpotable or
microbiologically unsafe water. Some well water will need a lab
analysis to determine proper treatment. Frequency Rising & Schaller
Pool Water guarantees to the original consumer/buyer that the
pressure vessel will not leak or corrode in the original
installation, provided that the unit is properly installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's printed instructions enclosed
with each unit sold. This does not cover units subjected to
abuse, water pressure over 60 psi, or temperatures over 100 degrees
F. (38 degrees C).
For the under counter WHOLLY WATER® The Ultimate Drinking Water
Appliance, a pressure regulator is already supplied with each unit
and must remain with the unit to keep the water pressure at about 40
psi. The preset factory settings (40 psi) on the pressure regulator
must be unaltered. If this supplied pressure regulator is removed or
settings changed, the warranty is void, and we are not responsible
for any damages to the "Appliance" and/or other damages caused by
water leakage. A low cost leak alarm is included that will alert you
to any leak from ANY source under your sink.
Please note that on a municipal water supply, water pressure may go
up very high at night. For example, even though your water pressure is 50 psi during day,
it can exceed 135 psi at night when people aren't using a lot of
water. Some municipal systems are prone to water hammer when
pressure spikes go very high. Failure to install regulator with
Appliance will void warranty and may adversely affect performance of
Appliance. In fact, it is recommended that you have your plumber
install a pressure regulator on plumbing system for your whole
house to protect your plumbing.
2. OVERALL UNIT PERFORMANCE WARRANTY: 2 Years
If the unit fails to "filter" and/or "purify" municipally supplied
tap water and or potable well or spring water of similar quality,
according to the unit's stated performance claims under NSF 42 and
NSF 53 testing protocols, Frequency Rising & Schaller Pool Water
will replace the unit at no charge to the original purchaser. Not
designed to be used on unpotable or microbiologically unsafe water.
Warranty includes all accessories. Shipping costs for replacement
fittings for top of Appliance are not covered under warranty at any
time. Return shipping will include insurance & tracking.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES is Frequency Rising
and/or Schaller Pool Water liable for any costs greater than the
original owner's purchase price. Also not covered are Acts of God -
fire, storms, flooding, etc. This Warranty only applies to original
owner when properly installed on a residential application and water
pressure at no time exceeds 60 psi (pressure per square inch).
3. RETURN POLICY Any Appliance returned to Frequency Rising and/or Schaller Pool
Water will include insurance & tracking. If the box has been opened
by the purchaser, a 10 % restock fee will be assessed. Otherwise a
full refund will applied, minus any shipping costs paid.
IMPORTANT
NOTE:
This
warranty only covers the original purchaser and installation. Under
no circumstances, will Frequency Rising or Schaller Pool Water
assume any responsibility or liability for physical damages or
losses resulting from improper installation, misuse of this product,
or acts of nature beyond Company's control. A low cost leak alarm is
included that will alert you to any leak from ANY source under your
sink.

Considerations
before buying:
1)
The filter measures 19" height with 8" diameter.
PLUS, the lines that come out of the filter need another 6-8
inches of unobstructed area. They can not be bent
as they come out of the filter. This can damage the valves
on top. These valves are removed and switched a few
times a year for the backwash cycle. (spare valves
are included in the kit)
Make sure it will fit. Otherwise you may need to locate it
elsewhere, depending on your home's layout. In this event, you
can get extra fittings to place the filter in your garage or basement, or even
the cabinet next to your sink. We may need to discuss your needs to get
you the right equipment.
2) The drinking water
filter uses it's own dedicated faucet. Sometimes,
a pre-existing hole in the sink or countertop is used. If no hole exists, a hole
will need to be
drilled. You may need a special drill bit for ceramic sinks/countertops. Ask
your plumber. Or, a hole can also be drilled into the countertop,
right next to the sink, as in picture. (note: picture shows a different
faucet than ours.)
(In this picture,
I personally would have used the soap dispenser hole!)
