The FilterSorb SP is a catalyst with molecular patterns on its surface on which, depending upon the calcium and magnesium carbonate content of the water, calcite crystals grow. When the crystals reach a size in the range of nano meters "one billionth the size of a meter" they detach and are carried away by the water flow. These crystals are heat resistant and can no longer cause lime deposits.

The crystals are relatively insoluble effectively isolating CaCO3 from the water chemistry and anything the water contains. Filtersorb SP media works as catalyst only, not as a filtration media therefore there is no accumulation of anything in the media tank. Long lasting media not consumed by the reaction. The constituted ingredients of the Filtersorb SP media are listed in CR21 as an approved food ingredient.

The "classical" water-softening unit on the basis of ion exchangers, exchanges calcium and magnesium ions in water with an equivalent amount of sodium. The result is not only soft water, but also increased sodium content (sodium in water increases blood pressure and has been determined to be harmful to the cardiovascular system by medical professionals). When the ion exchanger is depleted, it must be regenerated using saline solution. As an example, in order to regenerate 100 liters of softening resin, up to 25 kg of salt per regeneration cycle is required. This means that expenses are incurred for each and every regeneration cycle.

• No salt to buy
• No chemicals to buy
• Energy saving – system runs without power
• Lowers your water heating cost by reducing or eliminating the insulating mineral
   build-up in your water heater
• Easy installation
• No service calls or maintenance costs
• Use 50% less soap and detergents throughout the house

• Considerably increases the life of your water heater by preventing and eliminating
   mineral deposits
• 100% eliminates new scale from forming and removes previous scale buildup in your
   water pipes.
• Significantly reduces mineral buildup on all your plumbing fixtures including showerheads
   and faucets.
• Increases the life of your washing machine, dishwasher, coffee machines, ice machines,
   and reverse osmosis system.
• Prolongs the life of your clothes by reducing the damaging effects of hard water.

• Soaps and shampoos rinse away clean leaving skin and hair feeling silky and clean
• FilterSorb SP is salt and chemical free. Salt discharged by traditional softeners cannot
   be removed by wastewater treatment plants and ends up in our lakes, rivers, streams,
   and aquifers
• Energy saving
• Small space requirements
• No backwash, no wastewater
