Traditional 10" Pre-Filter Canister (Canister Only) - CLEAR
Select a Filter Cartridge tailored to your water filtration requirements.
See our selection of cartridges.
Removing some materials from your water that are not discarded through the Ionization process or removed by the Biostone Filter, may require installation of a Pre-Filter. Before installing any Pre-Filter, it is recommended that you acquire a water condition report from your local authority or a testing specialist. Not everyone needs a pre-filter, however, every household's water is different and people react differently to water contents.
Some common conditions for which people use pre-filters:
- Soften Hard Water – high content of calcium and/or magnesium can cause scaling or buildup in pipes. Water Ionizers need to be protected from scale buildup
- Arsenic Removal – removes virtually all arsenic from water
- Remove Fluoride - while the Biostone Filter removes approximately 60% or Fluoride and Chlorine, some people want virtually all these elements removed
- Iron - Iron, at a high level, can inhibit water from becoming alkaline. Additionally, while considered safe, Iron bacteria can build up in filters and cause odors
The following diagram displays one common way a pre-filter canister can be used with your Ionizer.
