FEATURES INCLUDE: |
• |
Sediment filtration to remove particulate matter (grit, sand, sludge, silt, etc).
|
• |
A special heavy metal pre-filter cartridge designed to extend the life of the
RO membrane (a unique SWT design feature).
|
• |
Heavy metal filtration (lead, iron, zinc, etc).
|
• |
Pre- and post-carbon filtration for the removal of chlorine, taste, odor, color, pesticides,
and a whole list of chemical compounds deemed unhealthy by the EPA ( see list below).
|
• |
A reverse osmosis membrane for ultra-fine (molecular) filtration. Primary agents filtered are sodium,
nitrates, lead, fluoride, cryptosporidium, cysts, iron, copper, mercury, and arsenic. The RO element
in the BioMaster™ will remove 93% to 99+% of these and other compounds
( see list below).
|
• |
An ultraviolet disinfecting chamber that sterilizes viruses, bacteria, mold, algae, and other harmful
microorganism ( see list below).

After the water has been filtered down to a sub-micron level, the
water then enters an ultraviolet sterilization chamber where any viruses, bacteria, mold,
and other living microorganisms are bombarded with special, intense light of a specific
wavelength. The UV light penetrates the wall of the organisms and attacks their DNA
structure leaving the organism unable to reproduce (or “dead”). UV technology
is recognized by the EPA as one of four approved methods of sterilizing water, and is
preferable over the other three methods (chlorine, iodine, and distillation) due to the
cost of treatment and effectiveness of UV (UV works almost instantaneously, leaving no
residuals or chemicals in the water). The SWT BioMaster™ UV module operates for a
full year at 30,000 microwatt seconds/cm². As a point of reference, the table below
is a list of common bacteria and viruses, and the dosage required to render them harmless.

GENERAL INSTALLATION AND SERVICE PARAMETERS |
SWT’s BioMaster™ will work at peak efficiency on either municipal or ground
water supplies that do not exceed the following:
Maximum psi
TDS
Iron
Hardness
Hydrogen Sulfide
Manganese |
125 lbs.
1800 ppm
0.4 ppm
17 gr/gal
0.05 ppm
0.1 ppm |
|
|
The SWT BioMaster™ RO System has been designed to give many years of trouble
free service. To keep the system operating in peak efficiency, it is recommended that the unit be inspected
every six months for possible prefilter sediment clogging (especially if there is a lot of sediment in the
water supply). The manufacturer recommends that the system be serviced on an annual basis to replace the
carbon filtration modules and the RO membrane module.*
* The RO membrane module may last for a much longer period of time on relatively good
water. Check with your Water Treatment Professional for local water characteristics and testing.
