Clean Water
Solutions - Need More Reasons?
RainDance Water Systems is dedicated to
improving water quality WITHOUT the need for using chemicals,
salt, or wasting water to drain. Thus *no on going maintenance,
no waste water, and no polluting chemicals being discharged.
* No maintenance refers only to the Aquafer Water Source.
- Did You Know? - Water softener discharge
has been banned in several U.S states.
- California* - May begin banning water
softeners as of January 1, 2003. Texas - Currently enforcing
a statewide ban on water softeners. Michigan - Softener
discharge into dry wells or unused septic tanks. Connecticut
- Prohibits discharge of brine water to septic tanks.
- *Recently a letter was sent to all businesses
in the Santa Clarita Valley in Southern California stating
that it is illegal to discharge salt waste from water softeners
and conditioners to the sewer. If a business has a water softener
or conditioner that regenerates any discharge of concentrate
salt waste or brine, it must be discontinued immediately! - The
Aquafer Water Source is your hard water conditioner alternative!
-
- *Salinity has been a major topic in California,
with several communities having already banned, considered bans,
retrofitting or replacement of salt based home water softeners
as a way to reduce salt discharges into public wastewater systems
-
- Why Our AWS-Platinum Packages With UV
Disinfection: Piece of mind and protection against water borne
bacteria and viruses. Note: There are other UV systems on
the market without NSF Class A Certification and without California
Certification. Certain states and provinces
regulate the sale of UV systems for residential applications.
Some require NSF certified products, others have their own standards.
TrojanUV systems are certified and/or endorsed by all states
and provinces that regulate the sale of residential UV systems.
States and provinces regulating the sale of residential UV products
include: California, Wisconsin, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Ohio, New York, and Quebec. By law, it is claimed to be "illegal"
to sell a water treatment device making claims of contaminant
removal [such as Cryptosporidium (protozoan cysts), bacteria
and viruses] or makes other health related performance claims,
that has not been certified by the State of California, to a
resident of California. Assurance: This UV
system has been California Certified #02-1516 for Microbiological
Treatment - bacteria and viruses. Also, NSF Standard 55 Class
A certification ensures water treated by a TrojanUVMax Pro Series
product is safe. In fact, certain states require UV systems being
installed to be NSF Class A certified.
-
- Boil water advisory? Township and city-managed
water supplies arent failsafe, either. Boil water advisories
are becoming more common. Beyond the inconvenience they cause,
such advisories are a clear warning that the clean water weve
taken for granted is
becoming a scarce resource.
-
- Pricing and detailed information
can be found below. However, before you choose our whole house
Platinum water filter package we encourage you to compare it
with all other non-salt based water conditioners in your local
California area and on the internet. We are confident that we
offer the highest quality whole house total home filtration packages
at the most reasonable prices. California residents need not
to worry. By law any and all water treatment companies offering
a UV disinfection system to California residents claiming microbiological
reduction such as e-coli and coliform bacteria treatment must
have California Certification. Our Platinum Package includes
the Trojan UV Max Pro 7 with California
Certification #02-1516.

- When the calcium hardness
is turned to a suspended solid the surface tension of the water
is reduced. There is also a short-term effect on surface tension
caused by a magnetic field. The lower surface tension causes
water to rise higher in a fine tube called a capillary tube.
This is conventionally referred to as a wetter water --- plants
get greener and all living cells can get more water in a shorter
period of time.

- California Customers:
- Many companies claim to sell
bacteria filters. However, when a manufacturer claims that a
residential drinking water treatment device will reduce contaminants
[such as lead, Cryptosporidium (protozoan cysts), pesticides,
herbicides, solvents, heavy metals, bacteria and viruses]
or makes other health related performance claims, the device
must be certified by CDPH (California Department of Public Health),
pursuant to Health & Safety Code Section 116830. The Trojan UV Max Pro 7 &
Trojan UV Max Pro 15 are the only two point of entry (whole house)
uv systems certified by CA. Details can be found at > http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/device/Documents/WTD-2007Directory/Section6e.pdf

Aquafer
Water Source Filtration & Scale Prevention System
Questions & Answers
What is Hard Water ?
Answer: The term hardness refers to the
quantity of dissolved calcium and magnesium in water. These minerals,
which come primarily from limestone type rock formations, are
found to some degree in almost all natural waters. Calcium and
magnesium cause problems for two principal reasons:
When the water is warmed, they precipitate
out of solution and form a hard, rock-like scale. This scale
accelerates corrosion, restricts flow, and reduces heat transfer
in water heaters and boilers.
When they combine with soap, they react to form a curd, which
interferes with cleaning, dries out skin, and leaves deposits
on plumbing and clothes (bathtub ring; ring around the collar).
The minerals in hard water gradually settle out forming a hard
scale. Scale centimeters thick can build up over time in hard
water areas. Scale build up will eventually clog pipe, and can
decrease the life of toilet flushing units by 70 percent and
water faucets by 40 percent according to a report published by
the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Hardness scale can
also shorten life of washing equipment, dishwashers, and clothes
washers by as much as 30 percent according to the AWWA report.
Hardness is measured in parts per million
(or the equivalent mg/L) or in grains per gallon (gpg). Note:
if the water analysis is given in ppm as CaCO3 then 1 gpg = 17.1
ppm. There is no established limit for the acceptable level of
hardness in water, but it is generally considered to become problematic
at around 3 gpg.
Levels of hardness are referred to as follows:
Soft Water: 0 - 1 grains per gallon (gpg)
Slightly Hard Water: 1 - 4 grains per gallon (gpg)
Moderately Hard Water: 4 - 7 grains per gallon (gpg)
Hard Water: 7 - 10 grains per gallon (gpg)
Very Hard Water: Over 10 grains per gallon (gpg)
What is
the Aquafer Water Source(AWS)& how does it work?
The Aquafer
Water Source Filtration & Scale Prevention System Filters the effects of common water problems through
the use of a 4-step process
1st Step
Untreated water enters the Aquafer Water
Source flowing through a deep layer of KDF filtration media to
filter unwanted chlorine tastes and odors.
2nd Step
The filtered water passes through a spring-loaded
chamber which creates a small pressure drop. This pressure drop
initiates the formation of calcium hardness crystals.
3rd Step
The calcium hardness crystals then pass
through a catalytic surface which greatly multiplies the number
of crystals. It is the last two steps (pressure drop & catalytic
surface) that makes the Aquafer
Water Source Filtration & Scale Prevention System significantly more effective than other treatment
systems.
4th Step
The multitude of calcium crystals pass
through a strong magnetic field which serves to hold the crystals
in suspension rendering them harmless up to 72 hours to your
plumbing & plumbing fixtures.
The entire process bonds calcium ions to
each other rather than to your plumbing and plumbing fixtures.
A simple damp cloth (if at all) is more than sufficient to remove
any residual mineral deposits rather than the usual abrasives
and "elbow grease" that is normally required. The Aquafer Water Source Filtration
& Scale Prevention System will
also provide filtered drinking water at every tap. The surface
tension of the water is also reduced which results in a higher
quality of water absorption into the human body and plant life.
Question: What does the
unit do?
Answer:
a. It reduces the formation of hard water
scale in water heaters & pipes
b. It will stop reduce formation of hard water scale on shower
doors & fixtures.
c. It will prevent hard water "bathtub ring" and allow
the use of less soap and detergent.
d. It filters chlorine from the water to improve taste and odor.
Question: What are some
of these features?
Answer: First, it is all done in one space saving tank that measures
under 55" high and only takes up a circle of one-foot diameter
on the floor. Second, there are no regeneration chemicals like
salt used at all. Third we have added a pre and post filter for
even better water quality. The Aquafer Water Source also includes:
(1) 5 micron sediment prefilter for filtering large particals,
sediment and rust and a (1) 10 micron whole house carbon block
post filter for additional filtration. We also offer The Aquafer
Platinum
Package which includes a whole house chemical free ultraviolet
system system.
Question: Does a regular
softener use a lot of salt?
Answer: It depends on the hardness of the water and also the
number of people in the home. Based on the averages the savings
would be over 700 pounds of salt a year. That's $75-$100 a year
or almost a $1,000 over the 10 year life of a softener. Not to
mention the back braking job of lugging all of that salt.
Question: Are there other
advantages?
Answer: Certainly, A big one is that this unit NEVER regenerates
so there is never water discharged down the drain.
Question: Do regular water
softeners waste a lot of water?
Answer: Again it depends on the water hardness, softener design,
and the family size. But the average would be about 10,000 gallons
a year.
Question: It sounds like
this unit is very friendly to the environment. Is this true?
Answer: Yes it is. Also in many parts of the US there is legislation
pending to stop the discharge of the salt into municipal sewers.
You can imagine the problems that would be caused by hundreds
or thousands of softeners in a single city.
Question: Are there even
more advantages?
Answer: Yes there are. The unit has no valve mechanism and thus
no need for electricity. The cost of installation is often lowered
because no outlet is needed. With no valve there are no moving
parts so service is eliminated.
Question: You mentioned
filtration of chlorine. Won't there be a need to replace the
carbon?
Answer: We do not use carbon in the Aquafer tank. We use a special
material (KDF) that will last for millions of gallons. Expected
life is for over 15 + years of normal use.
Question: How does it work?
Answer: The scale prevention process is quite easy. We use a
patented combination catalytic and magnetic chamber to change
the calcium (hardness) of the water from a dissolved material
to sub microscopic particles that wash through the plumbing system
without being able to connect themselves to the pipes or heaters.
In this form they will not react with soaps or detergents either.
We have found that magnets alone do not work as effectively so
that is why we precede the magnets with a catalytic device.

Example of hard water
with and without our Hard Water Conditioner.
This photo shows the inside of
two hot water heater pipes that were plumbed on the outlet of
two separate hot water heaters. The test was conducted over a
period of 324 days using 5,830 gallons of treated municipal water
(city water). One hot water heater had our scale prevention system
installed prior and one did not. You can see the dramatic difference
between the two water pipes. The one on the left (no scale prevention)
clearly indicates heavy hard water scale. The treated pipe on
the right has virtually no hard water scale build up.
|
Question: What about the
chlorine removal?
Answer: The Hard Water is treated using the steps listed above.
For chlorine tastes and odors KDF is used. This process media
are high-purity copper-zinc formulations used in pretreatment,
whole house filters, primary treatment, and wastewater applications.
KDF media supplement or replace existing technologies to dramatically
extend system life, scale, and decrease maintenance.
Patented KDF process media are 100 percent
recyclable and contain no chemical additives. Hospitals, restaurants,
municipal water treatment facilities, and homes rely on KDF process
media to filter chlorine tastes and odors from their water.
Question: Will the water
test soft?
Answer: No. The test chemicals are designed to put the hardness
back into solution. Once back into solution they will show hardness
on test kits.
Question: I thought all
equipment had to have a valve. Why not yours?
Answer: Because we have a constant upward flow path that keeps
the filter media always moving and not packing down and collecting
dirt.
Question: Can this unit
be used on all water supplies?
Answer: NO! We must know something of the chemistry of the water.
In particular the Calcium hardness, total alkalinity, and pH.
From this we can establish the Langelier's index and apply it
to our lab test data. If on a private well we would encourage
a test or an evaluation of existing test data.
Question: Am I correct
in summarizing by saying that this unit uses no chemicals, has
no valve, has no moving parts uses no electricity, discharges
no water down the drain, will prevent the problems of hard water
and will stop chlorine taste & odor for 15 years or more.
Answer: YES!
Question: Is there anything
special about the water from this unit compared to water that
has gone through a salt using softener?
Answer: Yes. First, there will not be the slippery feel on your
skin when you shower or bathe. This feel comes from the sodium
reacting with your body oils. Secondly, we add nothing to the
water such as sodium mentioned previously. This could be important
to someone on a low sodium diet.
Question: Any other special
things about the water?
Answer: There is an unusual phenomenon that takes place. The
surface tension of the water is reduced. This is often referred
to as making the water "wetter". It simply means that
the water can penetrate a plant more effectively and deeper so
that the plants are more hardy and grow better. With a standard
salt type softener, that water is actually be harmful to plants.
Question: Is this a brand
new technology, or has there been some experience in actual use?
Answer: We have employed catalytic and magnetic processes since
1994. We have also used the special filtration media (KDF) for
that period of time. There were over 1,000 units placed world
wide in the first 5 years.
Question: Has the performance
been reliable?
Answer: YES! WE have fewer than 1/2% field problems and without
exception they resulted from situations where the units were
placed on water supplies that were outside of the limits that
have been established through testing.
Question: Are there any
general guidelines that can be used on the water chemistry where
the use of this unit would be o.k.?
Answer: Hardness up to 25 grains, pH 7.5 or less and a visibly
clear water. this as stated before, Well water supplies should
be tested.
