SHIELD Health-Related Filtration | Eliminate Contaminants From Your Water

In the 1980s, more than 70% of cities in the US used lead-based plumbing infrastructure for water distribution. However, when pipes erode due to acidic water or low mineral content, the lead can enter drinking water and cause a host of health issues when ingested.

A potent neurotoxin, lead can cause learning and behavioral problems, hearing loss, slow growth, and hyperactivity. There are no effective medical treatments for lead poisoning, and symptoms of lead poisoning include fatigue, headaches, stomach aches, and iron deficiencies.

The Soft Water Specialists Water SHIELD Health-Related Contaminant Systems are equipped to remove up to 99.95% of soluble and particulate lead, PFOA, PFOS, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium.

How It Works

This filter is comprised of a proprietary, highly activated, and sustainable carbon media that safely and effectively removes a wide variety of contaminants. It is installed at the point of entry to effectively provide safe drinking water throughout your home.

Features

  • High-performance carbon and an outer polyethylene wrap
  • Made using FDA-approved materials and NSF 61-certified coconut shell carbon
  • Made in compliance with California Prop 65
  • Has minimal pressure drop
  • Application

    This system is installed on point-of-entry to reduce contaminants, bad taste, and foul odor from potable water in residential water systems.

    Benefits

    Efficient Water Filtration

    This system uses passive water filtration that maximizes the use of high surface area filters to greatly reduce contaminants.

    Easy Installation and Maintenance

    The product has a high contaminant-holding capacity that greatly reduces the need for frequent filter changes.

    High Contaminant Reduction Rate

    The system captures and holds high levels of chlorine, chloramine, dirt, and other contaminants. It also captures both soluble and particulate lead.

    SHIELD Sediment Filtration | Water Protection Against Sediments

    How It Works

    Dual Gradient Double Pleated Filters

    These filters come with two pleated layers: a protective outer layer and a selective inner layer. It has a surface area of around 100 sq. ft. to achieve high flow rates and low pressure drops. Designed for long-time use, they are ideal for filtering uniform-sized sediment particles.

    Dual Gradient Spun Yarn Filters

    These filters are also designed with a protective outer layer and a selective inner layer made with yarn. They are designed for extended use and are best for filtering sediment particles of varying sizes.

    Features

    Benefits

    Comprehensive Sediment Protection

    The system has a dual layer filter engineered to maximize sediment- and dirt-holding capacity while prolonging filter life.

    Large Surface Area Filter

    This filter promotes high flow rates, low pressure loss, and reduced cartridge replacement frequency.

    Efficient Water Filtration

    The system maximizes the use of high surface area filters to reduce contaminants through passive water filtration.

    Easy Installation and Maintenance

    A lightweight design allows for easy installation and maintenance.

    High Contaminant Reduction Rate

    Depending on the model, this filtration system captures and holds high levels of sediment particles, whether they come in uniform or varied sizes.

    Applications

    SHIELD Scale Control Filtration | Reducing Hard Water Scale and Corrosion

    Features

    • Serves as a simple, safe, and cost-effective alternative to water softener systems
    • Contains additional filtration media to better condition the water
    • Uses ChlorZorb with a catalytic activator to eliminate chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, foul taste, unwanted odors, and disinfection byproducts
    • Has a food-grade gravel underbedding to ensure uniform flow, minimal pressure drop, and consistent performance

    Benefits

    Protection From Corrosion and Hard Water Scale

    The product uses technology that allows phosphates to bond with minerals and inorganic metals to create a protective nanolayer preventing scaling and corrosion.

    High Flow Rates

    This system functions just like an Active Armour system but with faster flow rates!

    Reduces Existing Scale Formation

    The use of Active Armour technology reduces existing scaling without the use of acids or harsh chemicals.

    Increased Heating Efficiency

    A passive water conditioning system, this SHIELD system reduces energy waste by preventing hard water scaling and corrosion and reducing the amount of maintenance that water-bearing appliances require.

    Easy Installation and Maintenance

    This system also comes in a lightweight and simple design that takes the guesswork out of installation and maintenance.

    Application

    While this system does not function as a water softener, it is recommended for use with water-processing equipment that can be affected by calcium carbonate scale or corrosive water conditions. These appliances and equipment include but are not limited to:

    SHIELD Chlorine and Chloramine Filtration | Eliminating Foul Tastes and Odors

    How It Works

    SHIELD Chloramine Filters are made of sustainable carbon and use proprietary media containing large amounts of catalytically active nitrogen groups. This allows the system to maximize chloramine reduction capacity up to five times more than industry-standard carbon blocks.

    Features

  • High-performance carbon with an outer wrap made from polyethylene
  • Created using FDA-approved materials and NSF 610-certified coconut shell carbon
  • Made in compliance with California Prop 65
  • Has minimal pressure drop
  • Application

    Polishing or pre-filters in applications that require high-capacity and fine filtration Can be used residentially, commercially, industrially, or in the food service industry

    Benefits

    Protection from Poor Water Quality

    This system is specially engineered to maximize chlorine, chloramine, and dirt capturing capacity. It also helps eliminate unwanted tastes and odors in water.

    High Contaminant Reduction Rate

    Depending on your chosen model, these systems have filtration applications of 3 to 20 microns.

    Easy Installation and Maintenance

    The system comes in a lightweight yet durable design. Its high capacity also reduces the need to change the filter frequently.

    Highly Efficient Water Filtration

    This passive water filtration system maintains excellent contaminant reduction rates by maximizing its use of high surface area filters
