The Home Empowered Water system is designed to address hardness, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, chlorine tastes & odors in microbiologically safe water.

Operation of The Filtration System

Hard water can contain dissolved minerals in the form of calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), as well as metals such as Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb ), Nickel (Ni), Zinc (Zn), Lithium (Li) and other inorganics. Chemical pesticides, herbicides, Chlorine & Chloramine with their disinfectant byproducts can also be found lurking in water. Removal of these contaminants is accomplished by conditioning & filtering the water through a sophisticated ion exchange process as well as catalysis, absorption, adsorption and physical filtration.

Filtration Media - Hydrolyte 525-3a, Chlorgon & Catalytic Activator

The exchange media is a high quality, FDA certified, commercial grade strong acid Cation structured matrix filtration media with a very high whole bead count, no color throw, physically hard, and is extremely resistant to chlorine oxidation, fouling and attrition. 525-3a filtration media is designed to work together with Pur-gard & Pur-gard Plus performance enhancers to synergistically function at peak efficiency levels, providing you with the water quality, taste & feel that you desire. The media combines high operating capacity with excellent chemical and physical stability for a long dependable life. Chlorgon & the catalytic activator work together in synergy to effectively address chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, herbicides, tastes, odors and disinfection by-products. These media are further activated by Pur-Gard & Pur-Gard Plus, maintaining a bacteriostatic environment. Hydrolyte 525-3a media is Dial-a-Feel compatible.

Controller/Meter

Regeneration of the system is initiated by a sophisticated electronic control timer, which electronically meters filtered water flow to the home and makes decisions to regenerate based on water consumption and program settings.

Regeneration & Control Valve

A fully programmable microprocessor controls System Protector, Tank Fill, Percolation, Inject Pur-Gard, Upflow Ion displacement, Soak, Inject Pur-Gard, Upflow Empowering Cycle, Rest, Vortex Rinse, Pause, Recover, Pulsed Rinse, Defragmentation and return to service cycles, ensuring that the effluent water quality is according to specifications. A hydraulically balanced, EPDM diaphragm utilizes a composite drivetrain. All other parts in the waterway are either stainless steel or composite noryl® materials for a long and reliable service life.

Combined Media & Brine Tanks

All models feature a non-corrosive fiberglass media tank, with a one piece thermoplastic inner liner. The tank is approved by NSF, UL, FDA, and meets WQA Standard S-100. All fiberglass tanks carry a limited lifetime warranty. The brine tank is a combination brine maker and salt storage vessel and is made of tough, high-density polyethylene. The external chassis is modularly upgradeable.

Brine System

Brine refill is automatically controlled by the computer to provide the exact amount of brine for each regeneration. The Brine System has a float and safety valve shut-off, which minimizes the chance of overflowing the brine tank. All units are equipped with an air check.

Pur-Gard & Pur-Gard Plus

A high-efficiency digitally-controlled Pur-Gard injector & reservoir is included with this system to ensure peak performance and maximum protection from inorganic metals and minerals while maximizing system efficiency.
