Application
Features and Benefits
- The Progard® 3 pretreatment pack is constructed from polypropylene and EPDM.
- Suitable for tap water feed with silt density index (SDI) < 5, Cl2 < 1 ppm.
- Natural activated carbon media exhibits a high surface area and adsorption kinetic, tolerating feed water containing up to 1 ppm of chlorine.
- To prevent the bacteria proliferation, the natural activated carbon selected has been impregnated with silver, a proven bacteriostatic agent.
- Depth filter media exhibits a high capacity and optimized retention, tolerating feed water with SDI up to 5.
- Incorporates polyphosphate, specifically selected to avoid scaling without releasing ions.
