Crystal Quest Countertop Reverse Osmosis System

Water Travels Through 10 Stages of Filtration: STAGE 1:  Water flows through a pre one-micron filter pads (1 micron equals 1/25,000th of an inch), which remove suspended particles such as silt, sediment, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, sand, rust, dirt, and other undissolved matter.  STAGE 2:  Water passes through Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC). GAC is universally recognized and widely used as an effective adsorbent for a wide variety of organic contaminants, such as chlorine, chemicals linked to cancer (THM's, benzene) pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), PCB's, MTBE's and hundreds of other chemical contaminants that may be present in water, bad taste, and odors from your drinking water.  STAGE 3:  Water flows through another one-micron filtration pad for further reduction of undesirable particles and a wide variety of contaminants. STAGE 4:  Water passes through a Crystal Quest® Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane, which removes and filters particles
