Aqua Rain
What
could be more important than clean, safe water?
The AquaRain® Natural Water Filter will provide
clean and safe drinking water you can trust, all without having to boil your water, use
potentially dangerous chemicals, or rely on man-made energy. Our attractive stainless
steel housing holds the very latest in advanced ceramic and carbon water filtration
technology. Here is the best part... the AquaRain® will produce quality drinking water
for less than Ω¢ per gallon! Safety, a long operational life, and ease of
operation are hallmarks of this unique product.
High-Tech Ceramic Filter Elements
At the heart of our natural process micro-filter
are high-tech ceramic filter elements specifically designed for the AquaRain® system. Our
state-of-the-art ceramic elements filter water in a very natural way, using gravity to
gently draw water down through our "cultured" ceramic stone in much the same
manner as nature processes ground water through the earth. The microfine pore
structure of our ceramic media will remove dangerous organisms such as protozoan cysts
(Cryptospordium, Giardia lamblia) and microscopic bacteria (E. coli, Samonelli typhus,
etc...). Enclosed within the hard ceramic shell we have incorporated a concentrated bed of
Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) that contains a self-sterilizing metallic silver.
The silvered GAC bed will adsorb various organic chemicals such as MTBE and pesticides,
remove chlorine compounds including carcinogenic halogens, and improve the taste and odor
of the water. To the benefit of good health, our system will also leave unchanged
the naturally occurring electrolytes and minerals in your filtered water.
The AquaRain
requires 4 replacement filter elements. The British Imperial replacement
filter elements fit the AquaRain. Click

You can depend on the proven technology used in
the AquaRain® and even the natural concept that it relies upon to produce safe drinking
water for your family. The AquaRain® Natural Water Filter is manufactured to meet
NSF standards and fully achieves the USEPA requirements of a Cyst and Bacteria Water
Purifier. Best of all, the AquaRain® is made with loving care right here in the
USA! |
Introduction
The AquaRain™ Water Filtration System has
been engineered to provide safe drinking water from raw water sources such as rivers,
lakes, streams, creeks, ponds, wells, and cisterns. At the heart of the AquaRain™
Water Filtration System are Marathon® state-of-the-art ceramic elements utilizing a
long-proven filtration process that is over 100 years old which will safely remove
dangerous waterborne pathogens such as cysts (Cryptospordium, Giardia
lamblia) and
bacteria (E. coli, Samonelli typhus, etc...). These innovative Marathon® ceramic elements
are also filled with a high grade silvered granulated activated carbon (GAC). The GAC
reduces pesticides, chemicals, chlorine, color, tastes and odors, while leaving the
naturally occurring minerals found in the water unaffected.
The Marathon® ceramic elements are carefully
manufactured through a patented extrusion process that results in a very consistent, close
tolerance wall thickness. This allows for accurate measurement of their remaining life and
thereby maintenance of the highest level of reliability and security. Additionally,
Marathon's kilns are compact and operate within very close tolerance temperature ranges.
This provides extremely tight control of the ceramic's final porosity. Every batch of
ceramic elements out of the kilns is tested with mercury porosimetry equipment to confirm
proper pore size distribution. Each finished element is fully flushed at the factory and
is tested twice in the production process to insure complete product integrity.
Traditional ceramics are produced through a
slip-cast method in bulk quantities, utilizing a crude plaster of paris-style mold
process. They are then fired in a high temperature kiln to harden them and open up the
final pore structure. When ceramics are fired in large room-sized kilns, which have a wide
variance in temperatures, the "holes" in the pore structure will vary in size,
resulting in inconsistent product quality. Traditional ceramics therefore cannot achieve
the consistency and reliability of our new patented process extruded ceramics.
One of the most important benefits of the use of
a ceramic produced by the patented Marathon® extrusion process, is the consistent,
symmetrical, and measurable wall thickness. This symmetry allows us to externally measure
the remaining wall thickness to determine when the element has reached the end of its
usable life (minimum wall thickness). Determining the minimum safe wall thickness by
independent lab testing and being able to measure that safe minimum on an element in
service, are absolutely critical to having a filtration system you can trust.
Unlike other filters found in the market, our
deep-drawn stainless containers are formed from a single piece of heavy #304 (18-8)
stainless steel and have no welded seams to trap bacteria. The large 3-gallon vessel
allows for more convenient operation with fewer fillings for usable quantities of water. A
new Splash Guard™ has been added between the upper "raw water" vessel and
the lower filtered drinking water vessel that will deflect spilled water if the upper
container should be overfilled or water splashed over the side. The addition of handles to
the upper vessel facilitates its easy removal, leaving the lower filtered drinking water
container as a more compact, convenient water dispenser.
