Automatic Water Filters
We offer a complete line of automatic water filtration systems as well as standard or digital/metered water softeners. They are designed to meet all your water quality, pressure, and conspumption demands. Autotrol/Osmonics and Fleck are the two main brand names that we offer. Call our professionals for further information and to assist with any questions you may have.
Water Softeners
A water softener works on the principle called "cation exchange," in which ions of mainly hardness but also iron and manganese are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions, reducing their concentrations to insignificant levels. The exchange occurs with in a tank using tiny synthetic resin beads made from a special plastic.
After a period of use, the sodium or potassium ions are completely exchanged and the unit has to be "backwashed" or "regenerated." This requires the use of sodium or potassium chloride, which is loaded into a "brine tank" and dissolved to form a brine solution used to recharge the resin beads.
Filter Medias
Centaur™ Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). GAC is a light weight highly porous media used primarily for the reduction of hydrogen sulfide, chlorine and other dissolved gases which can add to the taste and odor of water. Centaur GAC is produced from bituminous coal in a patented process creating a highly catalytic functionality.
Calcite. Calcite is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate media. When properly applied, it corrects pH only enough to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium. Upon contact with Calcite, acidic waters slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate to raise the pH which reduces the potential leaching of copper, lead and other metals found in typical plumbing systems. Periodic backwashing will prevent packing, reclassify the bed and maintain high services rates. Depending on pH, water chemistry and service flow, the Calcite bed will have to be periodically replenished as the Calcite is depleted.
As the Calcite's calcium carbonate neutralizes the water, it will increase hardness and a softener may become necessary after the neutralizing filter.
Filter-AG®. Clack Filter-Ag is a non-hydrous silicon dioxide media which can be used as highly efficient filter media for the reduction of suspended matter. Filter-Ag fractured edges and irregular surface provides a high surface area and complex flow path for efficient removal of suspended matter throughout the filter bed, typically reducing suspended solids down to the 20-40 micron range. Filter-Ag's larger particle size creates less pressure loss through the filter and allows deeper sediment penetration into the bed for higher sediment loading and longer filter runs. Filter-Ag's light weight means lower backwash rates and better bed expansion to release trapped sediment and rinse the filter media during the backwash cycle.
MTM®. Clack MTM is a granular manganese dioxide filtering media used for reducing iron and manganese from water. Its active surface coating oxidizes and precipitates soluble iron and manganese. The precipitates are filtered out in the granular bed and removed by backwashing. MTM consists of a light weight granular core with a coating of manganese dioxide. The coating provides an example of contact filtration where the media itself provides the oxidizing potential. When the oxidizing power of MTM is reduced, the bed has to be regenerated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate (KMnO1), thus restoring its oxidation capacity.

Ultra-Violet Filtration
Sunlight System's Sunburst Series is a premiere line of residential units. They are manufactured in many convenient sizes, measured by flow rate in gallons per minute.
When to use UV Purification - Ultraviolet (UV) should be used if disease carrying microorganisms, pathogens, can enter your water supply.
UV is most effective when the water has been pre-treated with another filtration system. This is because pre-filters remove large particles, water cysts, odors and tastes. These impurities can interfere with the transmission of UV energy.
Benefits of UV Purification:
- Environmentally safe- no chemicals
- Effective on a wide range of pathogens
- Low operating costs
- Easy maintenance
How UV Purification works - Water enters the electro-polished stainless steel chamber and is exposed to high doses of UV light. The UV light comes from a lamp that is enclosed in a quartz sleeve. The lamp used for germicidal water purification produces radiation at 254 nanometers.
Light in this range targets the bacterial and viral DNA of water contaminants. Exposure prevents the microorganisms from being able to reproduce and cells that cannot reproduce are considered dead.
Does UV Purification produce any byproducts? - UV systems disinfect without adding chemicals. UV systems do not create any new chemical complexes, do not change the taste or odor of the water and do not remove any beneficial minerals from the water.
What are microorganisms and are some of them harmful? - Microorganisms consist of the following 5 groups: viruses, algae, fungi, protozoa and bacteria. Certain microorganisms are disease carrying- referred to as pathogens- and can be found in drinking water. Waterborne pathogens can cause intestinal infections, hepatitis, dysentery, cholera and other illnesses.
How do pathogens enter my water supply? - Human and animal wastes are the primary sources of bacterial contamination. These pathogens generally enter drinking water supplies through runoff, seepage and floods.
