The BioMaster
Drinking Water System is much more than an RO system. It has been designed to
work on water that has chemical and bacterial contamination also. The carbon
filtration modules will remove, or significantly reduce, over 50 chemical
substances that the EPA has deemed potential carcinogens. They include:
|
|
Adipates
(diethylhexyl)
Alachor
Aldicarb
Atrazine
Benz (a) anthracine (PAH)
Benzene
Benzo
Butyl benzyl phthalate (PAE)
Cadmium
Carbofuran
Carbon tetrachloride
Chlordane
Chlorine
Chrysene
Dalapon
Di (20ethylhexl) adipate
Dibenz (a,h) antracene
Dibromochloropropane |
Dichlorobenzene
Dichloroethane (1,2-)
Dichloroethylene
Dichloropropane
Diethylhexyl phthalate (PAE)
Dinoseb
Diquat
Endothall
Endrin
Ethylbenzene
Ethelene dibromide (EDB)
Glyphosate
Heptachlor
Hexachlorobenzene
Hexachlorocyclopentadiene
Indo (1,2,3-c,d) pyrene (PAH)
Lidane
Mercury (organic complexes)

After the water has been filtered down to a sub-micron level,
the water then enters an ultraviolet sterilization chamber where any viruses,
bacteria, mold, and other living microorganisms are bombarded with special,
intense light of a specific wave length. The UV light penetrates the wall of
the organisms and attacks their DNA structure leaving the organism unable to
reproduce (or "dead"). UV technology is recognized by the EPA as one
of four approved methods of sterilizing water, and is preferable over the other
tree methods (chlorine, iodine, and distillation) due to the cost of treatment
and effectiveness of UV (UV works almost instantaneously, leaving no residuals
or chemicals in the water). The BioMaster UV module operates for a full year at
30,000 microwatt seconds/cm. As a point of reference, the table to the right is
a list of common bacteria and viruses, and the dosage required to render them
harmless. |
