Crystal clear, alkaline and ionized water is a perfect antioxidant, which helps to scavenge free
radicals, responsible for faster aging and have a great influence on tumor/cancer development.
Alkaline and ionized water has a beneficial infuence on pH of body fluids, creating alkaline

Alkaline and ionized water adds various minerals to ones organism, such as calcium, Buy for less

and save!
Utilization of a special media in EXCITO-CL water filtration system reduces the size of water
clusters and therefore water is absorbed by the human organism faster and removes the
toxins much easier. Recomendations for Use:
Apart from alkalization and ionization EXCITO-CL system removes various contaminants from Drinking up to 2 liters of alkaline and ionized water daily improves concentration. Due to hexagonal
water such as: sediments (sand, silt, rust), chlorine, organic substances, reduces water structure (smaller water clusters) it is absorbed faster and intensifies metabolic processes and

Nanosilver is a known bacteriostatic

agent. As water enters each stage of
360 mm 100 mm filtration, it is supplemented with traces
of nanosilver equivalent to 15-20 ppb. This
trace quantity of nanosilver imparts bacteriostatic agents and restricts the
propagation of micro-organisms inside the filtration system, which in turn
enhances shelf life and protects from future contamination.

Whole house Big Blue filtration systems
AQUAFILTER presents two in-line filtration systems. HHBB20B
HHBB10B - 10" Big Blue® and HHBB20B - 20" Big Blue®
in-line filtration systems.
Both systems consist of Big Blue® filter housings to meet all

customer large-capacity filtration needs. The systems are
dedicated for high flow, cold water on commercial and
industrial applications. The housings are compatible with a
broad range of 4 1/2” x 20" (or 4 1/2" x 9 7/8") type
cartridges widely available on the market.
Filter housings consist of housing sump and filter head with

1" brass inlet/outlet inserts. Heads are equipped with a Set include:
pressure relief valve (providing ability to release air bubbles ®

This configuration enables the measurement of the - antibacterial and antimicrobial
pressure drop at the inlet and outlet connections. In filter centralizing ring
addition, brass inlet/outlet inserts enable damage-free
installation of pressure relief valve and pressure gauges.
Systems include:
- metal platform
- 3 x Big Blue® type filter housings (either 10" or 20")
- 2 x pressure gauges (inlet & outlet)
- wrench
System is equipped with either 10" or 20" Big Blue® filter

housings in blue color, which protect filter cartridges against
the phenomenon of algae growth in case the system is
installed in a sunny location. The new innovative design of
filter housing sumps has a more rounded bottom, which

NOTE:
Treatment Technique — An enforceable procedure or level of technical per-formance which public water systems must follow to ensure control of a
contaminant.
Lead and copper are regulated in a Treatment Technique which requires systems to take tap water samples at sites with lead pipes or copper pipes
that have lead solder and/or are served by lead service lines. The action level, which triggers water systems into taking treatment steps, if exceeded
in more than 10% of samples, for copper is 1,3 mg/L and for lead is 0,015 mg/L.
Fecal coliforms and E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human/animal wastes. Microbes in these
wastes can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches or other symptoms.

Volatile: Evaporates easily, converts easily from liquid form to gas.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Volatile Organic Compounds are
compounds that vaporize (become a gas) at room temperature. Common sources
which may emit VOCs into indoor air include housekeeping and maintenance
products, and building and furnishing materials. In sufficient quantities, VOCs can
cause eye, nose, and throat irritations, headaches, dizziness, visual disorders,
memory impairment; some are known to cause cancer in animals; some are
suspected of causing, or are known to cause, cancer in humans. At present, not
much is known about what health effects occur at the levels of VOCs typically
found in public and commercial buildings.
Wastewater: Effluent water carried downstream from a filtration or separation
process.
Water Breakthrough Test: An integrity test for hydrophobic filters in which the
resistance to water flow is overcome by a specific pressure such that water will
flow through a correspondingly specific pore size of the filter. Also called a water
intrusion test. Useful test to determine gross loss of integrity (e.g., installation
integrity) and filter hydrophobicity.
Water cycle: The natural pathway water follows as it changes between liquid,
solid and gaseous states, biogeochemical cycle that moves and recycles water in
various forms through the ecosphere, the circuit of water movement from the
oceans to the atmosphere and to the Earth and back to the atmosphere through
various stages or processes such as precipitation, interception, runoff, infiltration,
percolation, storage, evaporation and transportation.
Water Hammer: The shock wave or series of waves caused by the resistance of
inertia to an abrupt change (acceleration or deceleration) of water flow through a
water piping system. Water hammer may produce an instantaneous pressure
many times greater than the normal pressure. For this reason, many building
codes now require the installation of a "water hammer arrestor," a device to
absorb these shock waves and prevent damage to appliances such as washing
machines.

will be cancelled automatically if the Aquafilter sees fit to do so. Aquafilter liability ceases upon removal of goods from our workshops or our subcontractors' workshops. In
case of non-payment, then Aquafilter reserves the right to repossess the unpaid goods at the purchaser's expense and to claim, in addition, for the buyer to pay amount of
damages for the depreciation of the goods in the amount of 2.5% for every month the purchaser was in possession of the goods. A quote will be made for returning

delivery and reserve the right to withdraw from the contract. In the event that the Customer does not pay the due purchase price, Aquafilter may only assert such rights if
Aquafilter has previously and unsuccessfully set the Customer a reasonable deadline for payment or if the setting of such a deadline is superfluous in accordance with the
statutory regulations. An application to commence insolvency proceedings concerning the assets of the Customer shall entitle Aquafilter to withdraw from the contract and
