Wholly Water Removes These Contaminants

First layer - Filter-Ag ®

Filter-Ag is a non-hydrous silicon dioxide.

Granules have irregular surface characteristics affording maximum removal of suspended matter throughout the filter bed. It is very light weight, which makes it back-wash clean very easily, removing suspended solids down to the 20 micron range; it has a very high dirt-removal capacity. This keeps all the following filter beds clean and free of these solids, thus improving their performance.

Second layer - Catalox ®

A Natural Choice…A naturally mined mineral called pyrolusite, a mineral form of manganese dioxide, which has been used in water treatment for more than 80 years.

This media works on the principle of catalyst reaction, but itself remains relatively unchanged; this makes it last almost indefinitely. This will remove iron, sulphur, and manganese as well as certain heavy metals. It will also remove chlorine without being used up like carbon. Chlorine in municipal water supplies actually improves its performance, making it remove more than it does on its own and keeps the filter media clean. You already know how chlorine bleach removes stains. It provides a higher level of contaminate-oxidizing power.

It can filter dissolved solids down to 20-microns. This keeps many toxic materials out of succeeding filter beds for purer drinking water and longer life.

Third layer - KDF ®

This is a patented media that is a giant step forward in water purification. KDF has several strong points:

1. It removes heavy metals and inorganic toxins that other media do not; so when it is used before our tightly packed coconut shell, carbon bed (GAC), the drinking water will not contaminate this filter bed, making it last many times longer.

2. KDF is proven to kill bacteria as copper and zinc ions are eluted through the carbon bed. It has EPA approval as a non-toxic device for controlling bacteria in drinking water systems. Unlike other media like Silver impregnated carbon, which is toxic and has to be registered with the EPA because of it. KDF does not, and besides, it is much superior.

3. KDF removes iron, sulphur, and other common minerals that at higher levels are very offensive to smell and taste. These minerals are removed from the surface of KDF in the back-wash cycle so it can remain clean to keep on working, protecting the carbon bed.

KDF works on the principle of Oxidation-Reduction or Redox potential. Redox media remove dissolved gases such as chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, and methane from water. They can also remove virtually any soluble heavy metal, help prevent mineral hardness scale accumulation, and reduce levels of microorganisms.

The following are test results of KDF filter media only.

The upper 3 filter beds benefit greatly by the quick and easy, leak-free, push-button, backwash cycle built into every Wholly Water ®.

Will it ruin the Water appliance if I don’t backwash it?

I have several owners who have never backwashed. Mr. Dolce from Toronto called recently, informing me that she has never backwashed her 7-year-old unit, and she says it's working fine. I even offered her our new, improved version at a greatly reduced price. She just said, "No, I love the one I have. It is still giving us great drinking water and ice."

Fourth layer - Arsenic Removal and Fluoride Removal

These two media are the most advanced Arsenic and Fluoride removal media available.

Fifth layer - Coconut Shell GAC

This is the highest grade of premium coconut shell, de-dusted we can buy. This carbon has 200 to 300% the contaminate-removal capacity of coal carbon used in most filters. We use about 6 pounds of it and pack it tightly on special vibrating tables before installing the separator disk. Most of the best carbon filters use less than 1 pound of carbon.

What does GAC remove besides bad taste and odor?

GAC is best known for its ability to adsorb organic materials including most pesticides & many poisonous materials. The list is long and that is great for you. GAC does have many drawbacks, most notably a short life -short, because there are many things in water that GAC will filter out. When this fine material has to filter out sediments, iron; sulphur; chlorine; and even calcium will plug it up.

GAC has billions of microscopic cavities and acres of surface area. The removal capability is enormous. To waste this area on filtering these other things robs it from its ability to do what it does better than any other water filter media.

We have removed the materials that shorten its life.

We keep it clean so it can do what it does best for the longest possible time.

One of the other major drawbacks is bacteria growing in this media.

As described above for KDF, it solves that problem, but this patented design does something else other filters don't, and we patented it. Bacteria feed on the trapped materials (like the ones listed above) that plug up the GAC.

Our Systems remove most of these before they can get to the GAC, so there is much less of a bacteria threat to begin with.
