MICRON B.E.S.T. ALTERNATIVE INLINE
(1 micron rating is indicated by green striping on the exterior of the unit)
 (The
lower the micron number, the finer holes are. 1 micron is rated to trap
parasites, bacteria etc)
Use
this 1 micron on town pressure and electric pump pressure.
Removes
chlorine, herbicides, pesticides, dirt and sediment, traps and destroys
bacteria, traps parasites, maintains a bacteria free environment within the
filter, etc...

Can
be set up just at drinking water point or to do the complete system.
-
You
can be connected to town water and still fill your tanks through the
filter

The
B.E.S.T. Alternative CARTRIDGE Systems
BACK
TO TOP
A-RV ( A = Alternative)
-
These
systems will provide you with around 16,000 litres of clean, safe water. (Carbon is rated to treat 16,000L, and ceramic is rated to treat
approx. 60,000 litres.)
Water passes through a bed of silver coated crystals,
then through the carbon cartridge (removes chemicals, herbicides, sediment,
etc). In the double housing unit, the water also passes through the ceramic
cartridge (prevents the release of very fine sediments, bacteria &
parasites).
-
All
cartridge units are supplied with 1/2" BSP threads, so you can
install the correct fittings to suit the pipe in your RV. (This is due to
the large range of pipe sizes and types available in the RV industry.)
-
When
the carbon expires, you simply replace
the cartridge - not the whole unit. (With the Alternative range [A-RV], you
will also need to replace the Original SilverSafe Cannister at the same time
as the cartridge. ORDER CODE: SSC; REPLACEMENT PRICE WITH CARTRIDGE
$20.00; REPLACEMENT PRICE WITHOUT CARTRIDGE $40.00)

ceramic cartridge is cleanable. Life is dependant upon water quality PLEASE
NOTE: Cartridge
life is subject to the quality of water being introduced. In highly
chlorinated and sediment areas, the life can be shortened. All
prices include GST but are plus Postage and Handling.
The above
B.E.S.T. ALTERNATIVE range
use the
Original SilverSafe Technology, where although very effective, the levels of silver are so low
they are non-detectable in a laboratory.
The
e-B.E.S.T. (Electronic) range below has silver anodes before and
after the carbon. This silver is released as a control rate of less than
1/3 set by the Australian guidelines. By being released on demand, the
silver is carried with the flow of water, offering you a better residual
sanitisation.

E-RV ( E = Electronic)
-
These
are the ultimate of all RV filtration systems.
-
The
low levels of silver colloid released from this system are effective in
killing high levels of harmful bacteria.
-
The residual silver released is an
excellent way of maintaining bacteria free tanks and pipe work, which also
prevents the development of biofilm.

NOTE: Cartridge
life is subject to the quality of water being introduced. In highly
chlorinated and sediment areas, the life can be shortened.
All
prices include GST but are plus Postage and Handling.
SPECIAL
NOTE: The electronic unit has been constantly upgraded and improved
since we first started manufacturing them. As a result there are many
different sized anodes to suit each stage of improvement. As a result, we
need to speak with you to determine which model you have and when the unit
was purchased. In rare cases, we may require the anode to be returned to us
to see if can be identified and if it is possible to upgrade to the newest
specifications. We ask that you please be patient during the identification
process. When ordering the replacement anodes, please be near your unit as
we will ask some questions regarding its appearance and also the date of
purchase (an estimation will be suitable). Thank you!
IMPORTANT NOTE
WHEN PURCHASING CARTRIDGE SYSTEMS
Due to the popularity of the inline system, we now
manufacture minimal amounts of the cartridge systems to be carried in
stock. As we don't offer accounts to any RV Manufacturers, it is necessary
to ensure that your order is placed at least 14 days prior to the
requirement date. This will allow for manufacture (if required) and
delivery. From our experiences over the last few years as the RV industry
has progressed ( at a very great speed), the fact of possible required
waiting periods is often overlooked by
manufacturers. Hence, to avoid disappointment, it may be in your best
interest to purchase directly from us and we will forward the system to
your preferred location.

TECH NOTE -
A NOTE ON CARBON...
With all filtration systems the secret is the longer the the water is in
contact with the carbon the better chemical removal. For this reason,
although a flow rate of up to around 18 litres per minute can be achieved
the slower the better. So if time is available while filling your tanks,
turn your supply tap onto a slow flow, and have a cuppa as you fill your
tanks. |
|
|
|
|
|
TECH NOTE -
We give you better contact time- You will notice
on all our systems the water enters from one end of the carbon and
out the other. This is called an axial flow direction. Where as many cartridges allow
water to enter from the side (radial flow direction) and flow up through a
hollow tube
in the centre. Radial direction only allows water to come in contact with
the carbon for around 20mm, where as axial is around 200mm - 10 times more
contact time! Contact time is one secret to producing good quality
water.
|

|
|
|
|
WHAT'S BEING TOLD AND SOLD
- The better the micron rating, the better the filtration.
This is a very misleading statement and is 100% true for dirt and bacteria
(hence, its need to be cleanable filter). But this is not true for
chemical removal! The more contact surface of carbon there is
available the better the chemical removal is. So, if carbon is compacted
so hard it forms a 'block', which is used as part of the micron barrier to
trap dirt and bacteria - this process also reduces the usable surface area
of the carbon. |
