The CLASSIC system is designed to mimic clean and nutritious water as found in pristine nature, It contains 3 different types of advanced activated carbons for a wide range of chemical removal as well as 2 different types of natural mineral-based media for heavy metal and radioisotope removal., facilitates micro-level (0.5 micron) filtration thoroughness, natural mineral/alkalinity preservation and oxidation reducing technologies.
The filtration media in the system was specifically selected to not attract the beneficial minerals already in your water, so they remain. As a result, alkalinity is preserved and gently raised as acidic contaminants are removed and trace natural calcium is released from the filter—unlike artificial ionizer machines.
A built-in flow regulator keeps water from flowing through too fast. That contact time is what lets the media work more thoroughly—a feature most systems overlook.
The result is revitalized water: filtered, minerals-preserved, naturally alkaline and less oxidizing, with reduced ORP (oxidation-reduction potential).
DESCRIPTION OF FILTRATION PHASES:
PHASE 1: (Chemicals & Sediment)
Water enters the first transparent purple chamber containing our SuperBlock™, a proprietary 0.5-micron carbon block cartridge made from our formulation of two catalytic-grade activated carbons and KDF-F® media. This makes it stand apart from all other carbon blocks on the market. The result is a much wider chemical removal range and efficacy. e.g. It can be up to 15x more effective on chloramine removal (one of the harder to remove contaminants), than regular activated carbon blocks; And, due to it's sub-micron density it effectively blocks microplastics and very fine sediment—about 500× smaller than a grain of beach sand. KDF-F® helps protect the carbon from premature fouling—a common weak point in other blocks.
PHASE 2: (Radioisotopes & Heavy Metals)
In the final phase the water meets our AntiRad-Plus™ cartridge which contains KDF55®, activated zeolite and a third type of catalytic carbon. The zeolite is the same class of mineral used to capture radioisotopes in nuclear cleanup. This phase reduces heavy metals, radioisotopes and additional chemicals; KDF55® also lowers ORP through an electrochemical process, so the water is less oxidizing. Oxidation is what turns a cut apple brown or iron to rust.
CONNECTION & COMPONENTS:
Sits on your countertop next to the sink on the left or right side.
Plumbing:
Connects to your existing kitchen faucet using a diverter valve (included) in place of your current aerator (check compatibility), and by turning a small lever you redirect cool/cold water through the filter on demand, turning the lever off allows you to continue to use the kitchen's faucet for dishes, etc.
Components:
We do not cut corners on quality. All plastics are made of BPA & Phthalate-free precision machined, high-strength materials meant for drinking water applications. The system connections (in/out elbows, hex nipples) are made with double o-ring seals for enhanced leak-resistance. All tubing connections are quick-connect type for a much simplied and faster installation process.
The bracket which holds the system together is also made of stainless steel with a glossy white finish that will not rust or break over time (as often occurs with regular steel or plastic brackets used in inferior systems).
SPECIFICATIONS:
Filter Replacement: Every 6-12 months (dependent upon usage) for optimal performance.

*Contaminant removal % based upon internal and/or independent laboratory water analysis. Our systems should not be used with micro-biologically unsafe water, or water that has not been approved for drinking by local, state or federal authorities. Test filtered water only via Independent, ISO & NELAC Certified labs such as watercheck.com for contaminants of concern to confirm performance with your unique water chemistry. Individual results may vary.
