Additional Filtration Notes
Freedom Water Filtration Systems achieve a healthier environment for your home or business. Our systems will improve water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and even the air you are breathing.
If you have specific water treatment needs, for any application, please contact us at CustomerService@FreedomWaterSystems.com or 855-957-2166.
STOP - Are You On Well Water?
Private or community well water requires complete and independent testing before any water filtration or treatment
systems can be properly recommended.
Contaminant list includes industrial pollutants and chemicals, herbicides and pesticides, pharmaceuticals, disinfection chemicals and disinfection by-products, and water issues with old and decaying delivery systems.
The carbon media used in our systems is engineered for greater surface area and contact time. The high activity catalytic media used in our systems provides for a higher kinetic reaction for superior filtration performance.
At Freedom Water we have designed our systems to maximize contaminant reduction by increasing the surface area of the media. This process has enabled us to maximize contaminant reduction.
Increased Media Surface Area Enhances Performance
By increasing the surface area of filtration media we are able to enhance the adsorptive and catalytic functions to achieve superior filtration results. This technology allows Freedom Water to achieve greater filtration capacities, higher flow rates, and provide a longer operational service life.
Increased Media Surface Area Also Improves Performance
The high-quality catalytic media incorporated in our water treatment systems provides superior adsorption capabilities compared to many top brands. Our unwavering commitment to surpassing the industry standard through innovative design, engineering, and materials allows us to present the ultimate water treatment solutions.
