FAQS

Why is this filter system better than others?

A. The Premium 10 Stage Filter contains the premier, patented, 10-Stage contaminant removing filter. It lasts three times as long as the common carbon block filters (1500 gallons versus 500 gallons).

B. It filters contaminants by bonding the contaminants with the media inside the filter.

C. If a filter is not changed in a timely manner it will dump contaminants into the water at concentrations higher than the original tap water. New Wave Enviro will remind you by post card when it is time to change your cartridge so that "dumping" does not occur. Simply send us your warranty card so we can remind you.

D. Its' price is the most reasonable and affordable when compared to other major brands that remove as many contaminants as the New Wave Premium Filter removes.

What does the Premium 10 Stage Filter remove?

The Premium 10 Stage Filter removes or greatly reduces the following: chlorine, cancer causing organic/chlorine compounds called trihalomethanes (THM), bad odors, e.g., hydrogen sulfide which gives water a rotten egg smell, pesticides, herbicides, PCB's, toxic heavy metals i.e., lead, cadmium, organic arsenic, asbestos, micro-organisms (protozoa and cysts) such as cryptosporidium and giardia, and dozens of other lesser known organic contaminants.

What does the Premium 10 Stage Filter leave in the water?

Inert minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and chlorides and fluoride. Some people are concerned about fluoride. In these cases where a consumer wants fluoride removed, we recommend New Wave Enviro's Reverse Osmosis System.

How long does the replaceable filter cartridge last?

Each filter cartridge should be changed after 1500 gallons or a maximum of 18 months. This would be approximately one year for a family of four, assuming they each drank: 1/2 gallon a day and the family washes fruits and vegetables in filtered water. After replacing the filter run water through the unit for 2-3 minutes.

Note: It is increasingly important to use filtered water for a variety of kitchen needs besides drinking water. For example, more and more imported fruits and vegetables have been found to have giardia or cryptosporidium on them plus these hard shelled cysts can be present in your water supply. Filtered water is recommended for rice and pasta since boiling does not remove chlorine from water.

How do I change my filter cartridge?

Unlike many brands, you do not have to throw the whole system away. You simply unscrew the housing, remove the old cartridge and drop in a new filter cartridge. To make it easier to open your housing, soak the entire unit in hot water (1 gallon) and white vinegar (1 tablespoon) for about 10-15 min. Take the unit out while it is still hot and turn the housing counter-clockwise.
Replacement cartridges are available from the retailer where the original filter was purchased, or can be ordered from New Wave Enviro at 1-800-592-8371.

Is the 10 Stage Premium Filter tested and approved?

The 10 Stage Premium Filter has been extensively tested by Truesdail Laboratories, Inc. an EPA approved Lab which is certified to do filter testing and tests to the same EPA protocols as NSF.

10 Stages of Protection Against Major Water Contaminants

Stage 1 - 100 micron sponge filter. Traps larger solids (sediments) such as rust.
Stage 2 - 8 oz. of KDF-55. KDF-55 is a patented alloy which removes free chlorine and some heavy metals, thereby prolonging the life of the filter and is an excellent Bacteriostat.
Stage 3 - 10 micron felt pad which removes smaller floating solids and separates the layers, preserving their integrity.
Stage 4 - 30 cubic inches of ultra fine mesh, superior coconut shell and granulated activated carbon. Granulated activated carbon has long been accepted by the E.P.A. and others as the premier, cost-effective way to remove chlorine, bad odors and color from drinking water. G.A.C. also removes organic contaminants
such as pesticides, herbicides, arsenic, mercury and trihalomethanes - a cancer-causing organic pollutant.
Stage 5 - 10 micron felt pad for fine sediment removal.
Stage 6 - 7 cubic inches of ion exchange resin which removes lead to below minimum E.P.A. standards.
Stage 7 - Additional 10 micron felt pad provides an extra buffer against floating sediment of any kind.
Stage 8 - 7 cubic inch bed of G.A.C. which provides extra protection against cancer-causing organic pollutants.
Stage 9 - 3 oz. of calcite which raises the water�s pH and lowers acidity. It also increases alkalinity, which many nutritionists recommend.
Stage 10 - 1 micron absolute depth filter. A filter with a micron rating this small screens outcysts and protozoa, (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), and gives the filtered water a sparkling clarity.
