Crystal Quest
CRYSTAL QUEST® Mega Countertop Water Filter system
eliminates the impurities typically found in tap water to offer you
great tasting and pure drinking water. It is also very attractive
and economical. With the addition of a solid state carbon filter to
the
Crystal Quest 6
Stage Filtration system, this configuration
effectively removes hundreds of contaminants from water. This solid
state water filter uses the latest technologies that blend the
adsorption capabilities of coconut shell activated carbon with Eagle
Redox Alloy®. This combination has been tested to boost filtration
capacity to remarkable levels.
Making Alkaline Water:
After filtering your water with you CRYSTAL QUEST® Water Filter, use
one of our
Alkaline Booster Drops to make alkaline water.
CRYSTAL QUEST Optionss: you can get one of three
different models of the CRYSTAL QUEST® Mega Countertop Water Filter
system; with each of the 6-stage filters having a specified
filtration capacity.
-
CRYSTAL QUEST® Mega
Multi-Stage Plus filters up to 10,000 gallons (1-3 years)
*
-
CRYSTAL QUEST® Mega
Multi-Stage Ultra filters up to 20,000 gallons (2-4 years)

The filter is designed
to last between 1 - 3 years. You can tell when the filter needs
changing because it will either stop working or slow to trickle.
This unique water system is great for homes, apartments or office
use.
Installation
|
|
|
Check your
thread typee |
outside threads:
no adapters needed |
Inside threads:
select which adapter to use |
-
Remove aerator from
your faucet on which the filter will be installed
-
Determine the type
of threads on your faucet. If your faucet has outside threads
then no adapters should be needed. If your faucet has inside
threads then you will need to select the correct adapter and
washer and screw then into the faucet and tighten manually. The
adapters included with your Crystal
Quest Mega filter will fit most faucets.
-
Screw the diverter
valve onto the faucet, turning swivel collar to tighten. Make
certain that the gasket is positioned securely between the
diverter valve and the faucet or adapter. Rotate diverter valve
stem to desired position. The swivel color may need
retightening.
-
Turn on the water
then turn the diverter handle to send water to the filter
system.
CRYSTAL QUEST ® Utilizing the latest technologies in water industry,

media enabling more contact time with the water. More contact time
means better filtration..
Crystal Quest 7
Stages of Filtration:
Stage
1:
Water
travels through a solid carbon cartridge for removing
volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's), insecticides,
pesticides and industrial solvents. This prepares the
water for a more thorough filtration in the 6 Stage filter in the
second canister.
Stage
2:
Water flows through pre and post one -
micron filter pads (1 micron equals 1/25,000th of an
inch), which removes suspended particles such as silt,
sediment, cyst (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sand, rust,
dirt, and other un-dissolved matter.
Stage 3 and 4: water flows
through a bed of media made of a special high-purity alloy blend of
two dissimilar metals - copper and zinc (Eagle Redox Alloy® 6500,
and Eagle Redox Alloy®
9500.)
Eagle Redox Alloy® is a major advancement in water treatment
technology that works on the electro-chemical and
spontaneous-oxidation-reduction (REDOX) principles. Chlorine is
instantaneously and almost inexhaustibly oxidized. Tests on Eagle
Redox Alloy®/GAC cartridge have shown 99+% chlorine removal even
after 20,000 gallons of water passed through the filter. In
comparison, carbon cartridges of comparable volumes drop below 90%
effectiveness after only 4,000 gallons. This is an important
consideration.
Iron and hydrogen
sulfide are oxidized into insoluble matter and attach to the surface
of the media. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, copper, nickel,
chromium, cadmium, aluminum, and other dissolved metals are removed
from the water by the electrochemical process. They are attracted to
the surface of the media, much like a magnet. The media inhibits
bacterial growth throughout the entire unit. In fact, it has been
shown to be reduced up to 90%, eliminating the need for silver,
which is commonly used in carbon-only filters (silver is considered
a pesticide by the EPA and, as such, must be registered with them).
Is copper or zinc added to the water in any significant amount? On
2.3 ppm chlorinated water, <0.05 mg/l copper and only 0.46 mg/l zinc
were measured. The EPA aesthetic levels are 1.0 mg/l for copper and
5.0 mg/l for zinc. Both zinc and copper are essential minerals for
good health - the FDA recommends a daily intake of 15 mg of zinc and
2 mg of copper.
Stage
5: water flows through ion exchange resins, reducing
heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water hardness.
Stage 6:
Carbon is extremely porous and provides a large surface area for
contaminants to collect. Carbon-only filters must also use their
capacity for chlorine removal, resulting in a shortened life. They
also may use a bituminous coal carbon, which is good at removing
chlorine, but not as effective at removing chemicals. We use a
high-grade coconut shell carbon that is most effective at removing
chemicals. Coconut shell carbon provides a significantly higher
volume of micro-pores than either coal, wood or lignite based
carbon. As a result, it is more effective than other carbon types in
removing trihalomethanes (THM's) and other chemicals from
municipally supplied water. Since our REDOX media removes the
chlorine before it reaches the carbon, the carbon capacity is not
wasted on chlorine and is free to concentrate more effectively on
organic contaminants.
In stage 7: water flows through
another one-micron filtration pad for further reduction of
undesirable particles. The end result is a great reduction or total
elimination of a wide variety of contaminants.
