Essential 4-Stage Arsenic Whole House Water Filtration System
What’s lurking in your drinking water? If you have high levels of heavy metals in your water, you could be in danger. Don’t take any chances.
The Modern Filtration 4-Stage Essential Arsenic Filtration System* removes arsenic III and arsenic V, cadmium, copper, chromium +6, selenium, antimony, mercury, uranium and zinc. It also removes a broad range of other contaminants from the water.
The filtration media we use is a highly effective granular adsorbent that removes heavy metals from water sources. This innovative technology uses a patented titanium dioxide compound to adsorb arsenic III and arsenic V, as well as a wide range of other contaminants.
The Modern Filtration 4-Stage Essential system is the most environmentally friendly unit available for removing arsenic and toxic heavy metal from your water. The filtration media lasts a long time, and when discarded, has a classification of non-hazardous for disposal.
The backwash discharge water contains no concentrated contaminant levels. Therefore, the discharge is safe for septic or sewer systems. Correspondingly, since arsenic is permanently adsorbed, used filtration media is environmentally safe for landfills. The system also conserves water by backwashing for only 10 minutes every two weeks.
The filtration media used is NSF Standard 61 approved and has received regulatory approval from agencies in the United States and Canada.
When there is a serious potential for arsenic and heavy metal contamination in water, it’s recommended you test the water every 90 days. You can simply purchase inexpensive testing kits online to do so.
For arsenic levels exceeding 60 parts per billion or 0.060 mg/l additional water treatment equipment might be needed. Please contact the Modern Filtration experts for additional assistance.
You can choose the appropriate size for either up to three or five bathrooms.
*We highly recommend a well water analysis before purchase to confirm system compatibility.

4 Stages of Water Filtration

Stage

Activated Alumina
During the first stage of filtration, water moves through pre-treated media to lower internal pH, maximizing the adsorbance of fluoride and arsenic.
Stage

Garnet Mineral Stone
Water passes through a layer of natural garnet minerals removing suspended solids and sedimentation down to 10 microns. This allows for maximum water distribution and backwash efficacy.
Stage

Titanium Dioxide
In stage three of filtration, the titanium dioxide removes arsenic III & V and a broad range of heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, copper, chromium+6, selenium, and zinc from your drinking water.
Stage

Quartz Mineral Stone
Water passes through a media bed of quartz mineral stone, removing suspended solids and sedimentation, allowing maximum water distribution, efficiency and improved taste.

Vortech® Technology
Vortech® is the world's most innovative and efficient universal distribution system for water treatment systems, in filtration and softening applications. The design creates fluidity of the media bed and extends contaminant removal capacity up to 80%. This means less water waste and improved water quality.
Made in the USA
Each Modern Filtration System is hand-built right here in the United States to ensure the highest quality manufacturing and materials.
