What makes the SEYCHELLE ENVIRONMENTAL
TECHNOLOGIES Ionic-Adsorption Micro-Filtration System the
BEST?
The primary reason our filters perform better
than other filtration systems is that each product is designed
to guarantee the greatest amount of reduction per
contaminant.
The Micro-Porous body of the filter
contains thousands of interconnected omni-directional pores,
each being a uniform 2 micron in size. In addition to pore
size control, our micro-porous filters have 3 proprietary
media impregnated within that are coordinated carefully for
the reduction of potentially harmful contaminants. The
mechanical filtration is superior in efficacy in the removal
of what is referred to as the A, B, C, D and R of water
contamination:
Aesthetic - unpleasant
taste and odors, cloudiness, silt, sediment, chlorine,
chlorine by products… Biological -
harmful microscopic pathogens such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia
and other cysts and spores. C hemical - toxic
chemicals: Trihalomethanes, PCBs PCEs, detergents, and
pesticides D issolved solids - including heavy
metals such as aluminum, asbestos, cadmium, chromium 6,
copper, lead, arsenic and mercury R adiological -
Radon 222
Seychelle's exclusive Ionic-Adsorption
Micro-Filtration combines the different concepts of filtration
including adsorption, absorption, chemical bonding and
chelation. It reduces specifically all areas of contamination
through the exclusive design and impregnation of proprietary
media with outstanding filtration capabilities.
Why are the Seychelle Portable Water
Filtration Systems better than bottled water?
Three basic reasons:
First - The US EPA, NSF and ANSI Certified Testing
Results of our filters assure you consistent quality,
great-tasting water each and every time. Our water filtration
systems are the most laboratory and field tested products of
their kind in the world. Efficacy and quality are guaranteed
and on record. Many bottled waters, especially in developing
countries, are not guaranteed and actual water sources
unspecified.
Second - the Seychelle portable
water filtration bottle is affordable, efficient, cost
effective and can be filled from any convenient water source
anywhere, anytime except salt.
Third - the
Seychelle system produces up to 100 gallons of great-tasting
filtered water; equal to 757 half liters of bottled water at a
fraction of the cost!
Will the Ionic-Adsorption
Micro-Filtration System wear out?
The filter will
not wear out, per se. However, the maximum filtering
capability gradually diminishes and when the water flow is too
low, it’s time to replace the system. This is basically a
function of the quality of the source water you want to
filter.
Who performs the tests for the filters
efficacy and for what elements specifically?
In the
United States, water filtration products are tested by
independent laboratories to verify the exact capabilities and
performance. All Seychelle filters are extensively tested by
only the highest quality US approved laboratories certified to
test under the strictest EPA, ANSI & NSF standard methods
and protocol. The gallon volume of filtration capacity is
tested to NSF standards 42 & 53. In addition, Seychelle
filters have been tested in sixteen (16) foreign
countries.
All five areas of contamination “A,B,C,D and
R” are tested. See Laboratory Test results for exact
percentage reduction.
Is there a problem with activated
carbon filters harboring or breeding bacteria or other
contaminants within the filter itself?
Bacteria can
grow on anything, but the key to this product concept is to
periodically clean the filter. Most consumers use a Granulated
Activated Carbon (GAC) filter element in a manner that the
systems are either attached to the faucet or permanently
installed under the sink counter. The major problem is that
the water is allowed to collect after use, and this is when
bacteria grows or multiplies. Bacteria will grow most
effectively in a dark, moist atmosphere, especially if there
is no disinfectant in the remaining water. The main reason for
the bacteria build-up is that filters cannot sanitize
themselves automatically. With our bottle products, simply
flush with a 1/8 teaspoon of chlorine in one quart of water
through the system and then rinse and flush with filtered
water.
Seychelle has not received one report of
bacterial growth on one of its filters since its introduction
sixteen (16) years ago.
How is the filter capacity formula
determined?
Seychelle performs continuous flow
tests. For chlorine removal, the testing laboratories run the
filters with heavily spiked water for over 400 gallons without
any break-through of residual chlorine or other surrogates
used. Overall filter capacity varies by product as
follows:
Water pitchers: up to 150 gallons Stainless
steel bottles: up to 100 gallons LDPE plastic bottles: up
to 100 gallons Pumps and bags: up to 100 gallons Pure
water straws: up to 25 gallons
Are the filter systems
pre-flushed?
All filter systems are pre-flushed at
the factory. Please refer to product manuals for exact
instructions for each product in our line.
Does the filter ever need
cleaning?
No. Do not use soap or cleaner on
the filter as you may damage it and plug up the microscopic
pore openings which will cause it to not work.
What is the filter life
expectancy?
For most products about one year. The
time to change the filter is when you are no longer satisfied
with the rate of flow.
Maintenance and storage
DO NOT…Place the bottle in the freezer. (When
water freezes it expands and could damage the bottle and/or
filter);
DO NOT fill with HOT water, or anything other
than WATER;
DO NOT run the bottle through the
dishwasher.
When the filter system will not be used
for an extended period, flush chlorinated water through the
filter and allow to dry thoroughly with top cap removed.
Reassemble and stow.
Are your products safe and BPA
free?
All Seychelle products are BPA free; are
non-toxic and do not leach; and use only FDA approved # 4 and
# 5 plastics and food grade materials; or # 304 stainless
steel.
Who buys and uses Seychelle
products?
Those concerned about the taste, odor and quality of
their drinking water.
Those who travel worldwide.
Those who pursue an active lifestyle.
Those who are concerned about surviving disasters
including floods, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, &
tornadoes.
Those who buy bottled water on a consistent basis even
though they may question the source and quality.
