SMART Water Filtration

Crystal Quest's SMART Water Filtration systems utilize an advanced multimedia blend designed for comprehensive water purification.

Advanced SMART Multimedia Components and Function

The core of this filtration technology, referred to as SMART Multimedia, includes several key components:

Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC): Two types of coconut shell GAC (Standard & Catalytic) are used to remove or reduce inorganic products such as PFAS, PFOS, herbicides, pesticides, petroleum by-products, and pharmaceutical by-products. They also address chlorine, chloramine, and their GAC by-products, which include the four trihalomethanes:
- Trichloromethane (chloroform)
- Dibromochloromethane
- Bromodichloromethane
- Tribromomethane (bromoform)
Enhanced GAC Media: Crystal Quest Eagle Redox Alloy® 6500 & 9500, along with ion exchange resin, are infused with the GAC. This combination helps to reduce heavy metals like lead and mercury, significantly extend the life of the GAC, and render the media bed bacteriostatic (inhibiting bacteria growth).
Water Enhancement: Ceramic and Tourmaline balls are also included in the multimedia blend. These components oxygenate the water, enhance its alkalinity, and help achieve a balanced pH, ideally within the recommended drinking water range of 6.5-8.5.

Reported Benefits of SMART Filtered Water

Users of water treated by such systems may experience a wide range of benefits:

Improved Water Quality & Taste: Provides fresh-tasting and smelling water, crystal clear ice cubes, and more flavorful coffee, tea, mixed drinks, and meals. It's also ideal for baby formula, pasta, and soups.
Household & Appliance Efficiency: May increase water heater efficiency by up to 29% and contribute to up to 30% longer life for appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters, as well as household plumbing.
Cost Savings: Can lead to savings of up to 70% on household detergents and soaps, and up to 25% on personal care items.
Personal Care & Cleaning: Soap and shampoo may lather better, resulting in softer skin and more manageable hair. Fabrics can appear whiter, brighter, and last up to 33% longer. Dishes may come clean more easily without spots, and bath and kitchen fixtures may show less soap scum.
General Use: Excellent for pet and plant water, and aquariums. Provides an unlimited supply of pure water to the kitchen and bath, eliminating the need for heavy cooler bottles. It's also beneficial for use in steam irons, humidifiers, and for general household cleaning.

Multistage Filtration

Pre-filtration

Water flows through a 20” sediment cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand, and dirt.

Post-filtration

Water flows through a 20" solid carbon cartridge for removing or reducing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's), & any remaining insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents.

SMART Water Filter Media

Water flows through our SMART Multimedia, which includes 2 types of coconut shell Granulated Activated Carbons (Standard & Catalytic GAC) infused with our Eagle Redox Alloys® 6500 & 9500, and ion exchange resin to reduce contaminants such as heavy metals, i.e. lead & mercury, chlorine, chloramine, & inorganic products such as herbicides, pesticides, petroleum/pharmaceutical by-products and Ceramic and Tourmaline balls to enhance the water and maintain a more alkaline pH.

Water Softener (optional)

Homeowners who have hard water normally complain of scale buildup inside pipes, water heaters and appliances and, when hard water reacts with soap, it can form a sticky residue on surfaces. It is important to note that hard water is not a health concern. The only concern with hard water is the deterioration of plumbing, plumbing fixtures and appliances due to scale buildup. Also, the scale buildup inside a water heater will increase the power or gas required to heat the water.

The Traditional Softener

Water is softened by replacing hard ions like magnesium and calcium with softer sodium or potassium ions. This means that the magnesium and calcium ions are actually removed or reduced from the water. This is done by an ion exchange resin. Ion exchange happens when the hard water passes through a bed of beads, which is a chemical mixture. Water softeners must be regenerated regularly with the use of the brine tank, renewing the medias ability to remove hardness from water. This regeneration is accomplished with a sodium or potassium chloride and water solution which can increase the salt content of your water slightly.

A traditional softener, while removing or reducing the calcium and magnesium, will prevent further limescale build up in your appliances and pipes, but will not remove existing buildup. Additionally, the water will have a somewhat slippery or slimy feel.

Maintenance of the traditional softener systems requires refilling the brine solution or backwash solution periodically with the sodium or potassium chloride salt. Potassium chloride is the healthier choice but is more expensive.

The Salt-Free Conditioner

Unlike the traditional softener, the salt-free conditioner does not remove the calcium and magnesium particles. The media in the conditioner changes the calcium so that it cannot leave limescale and becomes harmless to pipes and appliances. Instead of ion exchange, it works on a nano-molecular level. It takes the mineral, under a microscope, it appears as a crystal, and transforms it into a nanoparticle. When minerals are in a nano-particle form, they dissolve in the water and stay there. Also, the typical +2 charge on the molecule is removed or reduced which takes away the calcium and magnesium particle’s ability to attach to pipes and appliances, thereby prevention scale buildup. In addition, the conditioner will remove existing buildup in pipes and appliances and apply a protective layer to help prevent additional buildup. Since the conditioner does not require backwashing, no salt product is added to your water and you still have the health benefits of calcium and magnesium minerals.

The Salt-Free Water Softener

Crystal Quest® Saltless Water Softener is a new technology that transforms the calcium (hardness) of the water into mechanically stable and heat resistant calcite crystals (nanometer size) which no longer cause lime deposits. The calcium is simply rinsed away. Calcium (hardness) creates scale in pipes, on appliances, and other plumbing surfaces. This leads to higher heating and energy costs and expensive repairs to appliances. Scale can also be a source for bacteria to grow, which can be a health concern in drinking water applications. It also removes or reduces the already existing scale from pipes and heat exchanger surfaces (descaling effect) and further protects the system from the future formation of scale (scale protection effect). When hardness levels appear at 25 gpg (grains per gallon) or higher pre-treatment or additional media may be required. Please consult a specialist for this condition.

Important Note:

It is important to understand that if a hardness test is done after using a traditional softener, you will have reduced hardness reading. If a hardness test is done after conditioning, you will have the same hardness reading. This is because, again, the calcium is still in the water after conditioning. It is simply rendered harmless to your plumbing and appliances. If water spotting on dishes is a major concern, you will still have this with the conditioner.

More on Hard Water

What is hard water? Water described as “hard” is high in dissolved minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium. It is estimated that more than 80% of homes across the country are affected by hard water. What is more staggering, however, is that many homeowners do not know if they have hard water or how to detect it.

The “hardness” of water is determined by the combined number of calcium and magnesium grains present. The higher the number of grains per gallon, the “harder” your water is. These minerals are picked up by “soft” rainwater as it travels down through the soil to the underground water table. Water that comes into contact with limestone (calcium and magnesium rock) has a much higher content of these hard minerals. Hard water has a negative impact on you, your household, and your pocketbook.

You probably have hard water. If left untreated, here is what can happen:

The minerals in hard water will cause yellow stains on plumbing fixtures and be deposited as scale, eventually clogging plumbing and shortening the life of appliances like washing machines, water heaters, and dishwashers by up to 30%. Scale deposits not only cut down on the efficiency of these appliances, they cost you money, increasing both energy and maintenance bills.
Hard water dulls your hair and dries your skin. Shaving is more difficult in hard water.
Hard water can leave unsightly film buildup on glasses and dishes.
Hard water leaves a filmy soap ring around bath and kitchen faucets, which makes cleanup more difficult.

Additional Product Options

12 GPM UV Water Sterilizer: Specifically designed to meet the demanding microorganism control concern. These microorganisms can range from bacteria and viruses to algae and protozoa. A major advantage of UV treatment is that it is capable of disinfecting water faster than chlorine without cumbersome retention tanks and harmful chemicals to your drinking water.
Leak Detector Valve: Used to detect a water leak within a water filter system and shuts down the water supply to prevent flooding.
Vacuum Breaker: Recommended to be installed inline ahead of water filter systems as a precaution against the rare occurrence of negative pressure (a vacuum) in the water line which can cause damage to the filter tanks and housings.
Metered Valve: The systems come standard with a timer valve which runs the backwashing schedule on a set number of days. (For example, every 7 days). The metered valve will run the backwashing based on a set number of gallons. (For example, 3,000 gallons).
Oxidation System: Utilizes ozone for efficient water oxidation, improving water quality.

Important to Know

Pinholes or rust may occur on stainless steel tanks in environments with high humidity, when salt is present or if condensation remains on tank without being routinely wiped down. If your system will be exposed to one of these factors or you are unable to perform the needed maintenance, we recommend a fiberglass tank.
