Anti-Scale Spot Free Rinse De-Ionising System Replacement Filter Cartridge Pack | 20" x 4.5" (GT1-100-F-RP)
Anti-Scale Spot Free Rinse De-Ionising System Replacement Filter Cartridge Pack | 20" x 4.5" (GT1-100-F-RP)
Our NEW GT1-100-F Stainless Steel Frame Mounted Spot Free Rinse System uses a 3-stage design, with a 5 Micron Coconut Carbon Pre-filter, and 2x Refillable Indion® Ion Exchange DI Resin Cartridges.
Chlorine is known to deteriorate rubber and corrode metal, so the Carbon Pre-Filter will provide chlorine-free water for 98,000L @ 11L/Min (with the 5 Micron CTO Filter, and even better results with the CRC Carbon Upgrade (see below)) and is capable of a peak flow rate that covers all types of Pressure Cleaners up to and over 20L/Min.
FILTER OPTIONS
Carbon Filters
Customise your filter system set up to suit your unique needs - choose from the standard 5 Micron Chlorine Reduction Coconut Carbon Filter, or upgrade to the 0.5 Micron Chloramine Reduction Coconut Carbon System for a finer level of filtration, longer filter life, and better chemical reduction.
GT4-19CTO - 5 Micron Chlorine Reduction Coconut Carbon (For Improved Chemical Reduction on Mains Water)
-
- CTO Chlorine Reduction Carbon is our standard recommendation for reducing chlorine and chemicals on mains water - great value and quality!
Chlorine is generally the biggest concern for those on municipal water. Chlorine is added to mains water to disinfect against bacteria and viruses, however, Volatile Organic Compounds and Disinfection By-Products such as Trihalomethanes (THM) and Chloroform can form when chlorine reacts with oxygen and other chemicals in solution - and you can imagine the damage that these chemicals can cause by boosting the potential for oxidisation (and therefore, rust and corrosion) on metal and other materials. The Chlorine Reduction cartridge will provide you with clean water, free from nasty chemicals, and remove or reduce any chemical smells in the water caused by free chlorine.
GT4-19CRC - 0.5 Micron Chloramine Reduction Coconut Carbon (Reduces BOTH Chlorine and Chloramines For Maximum Chemical Reduction on Mains Water)
-
- CRC (Chloramine Reduction Cartridge) uses Catalytic Carbon to filter out more chemicals/contaminants than standard chlorine reduction carbon alone (which doesn't remove chloramine).
Boasting a 0.5uM nominal rating, our 0.5 Micron Chloramine Reduction Carbon Block filter has a huge, highly reactive surface area of composite catalytic carbon designed to denature and neutralise chloramine, chlorine, and other reactive chemicals with minimal contact time. As water passes through the Chloramine filter, Chloramine and other chemicals react with the carbon block surface, producing denatured compounds that are then re-adsorbed by the carbon - essentially neutralising the Chloramine, Chlorine and chemical molecules.
Why remove Chloramine? Chloramine is fast becoming the most important topic when it comes to mains water. Free chlorine has long been the choice for cheap and long-lasting municipal water disinfection, and it can be easily removed from water with minimal contact time. However, the addition of monochloramine gas (NH2CL - an inorganic molecule composed of chlorine-bonded ammonia) is becoming more and more common as a secondary disinfection agent that provides longer-lasting disinfection than chlorine alone. Aesthetically, monochloramine gives off a strong chemical/ammonia smell in the water. Especially when mixed with fluoride (another common municipal additive in mains water), chloramine can even dissolve copper and lead, thus increasing the potential for corrosion and rust on metal surfaces. You may have seen this in action, as this is a common cause of blue/green staining in and around pipes and drains. Do you really want to be using corrosive-chemical-laden water to wash your pride and joy? Our answer is: probably not!
De-Ionising Resin
Select 4kg of loose Indion® De-Ionising Resin to re-fill your existing refillable cartridges (fill 2kg in resin in each cartridge), with the option to add 2x Refillable Cartridges.
In our Spot Free Rinse System, we use only the best premium quality virgin Indion® MB-115 Mixed Bed Ion Exchange Resin from Ion Exchange Ltd, the leading global manufacturer of Ion Exchange Resins for water softening, de-alkalization, and de-mineralisation.
Indion® De-Ionising Resin is a unique mixed bed 60% Sulfonic Acid & 40% Quarternary Ammonium based Polystyrene Copolymer that contains millions of microscopic ion-exchange sites. When water passes through the resin, TDS anions and cations (i.e. Ca2+ and Mg2+) in solution will preferentially bind to the ion exchange sites, leaving ultra pure water as the end product. Over time, the resin media will become exhausted and require replacing.
"Zero TDS" DI Water water produces an anti-scale Spot Free Rinse for cars and windows, as there are no residuals in the water after the water evaporates. Having a Spot Free Rinse eliminates the need to use a squeegee or chamois to remove excess water from a surface, thus helping to avoid scale marks, prevent scratches, and stop staining.
DI water is sought after for several uses due to its negligible mineral content, affordability, and the fact that DI systems provide a faster and more economical solution to producing Zero TDS water than RO or Distillation. The quality water produced by our system (low EC/TDS Free) is in most cases better than commercially produced distilled water and even better than reverse osmosis (which retains a residual mineral content after filtration).
*Note: Zero (0) TDS is equivalent to <1ppm TDS. As with any filter, the capacity of virgin de-ionizing resin to remove TDS from water gradually degrades over time. As the hardness of water varies depends on the water source, there is no hard and fast rule for when you should replace the DI resin. As a rule of thumb, DI resin is due for replacement when you notice spots appearing
How to test for TDS?
You can test for the presence of TDS quickly and easily by placing a few drops of DI filtered water in a clean, residue-free glass, allowing the water to evaporate, and then checking for the presence of scale - if you notice white spots have formed, it's time to change your filter. Alternatively, you can test the TDS level of your system with a properly calibrated TDS Meter, such as the HM Digital COM-100 TDS Pen.
Storage and Safety Instructions
- Store DI Resin in the shade and do not allow the resin to dry. Keep sealed at all times. Exposure to atmospheric air will cause the Resin to convert to a carbonate form. Keep below 60°C.
- Acid and Alkali solutions are corrosive and should be handled carefully. Prevent contact with skin and eyes. If oxidizing agents are used, safety precautions should be observed.
