Thunder 2000M Reverse Osmosis®/Ultrafiltration

We find this system to be better than any twice it's price, removing around 95% of all contaminants from your water.

Note: Price includes $20 shipping surcharge for the huge box.

CRYSTAL QUEST® Reverse Osmosis/Ultrafiltration systems produce up to 100 gallons of top quality water per day and remove up to 99.9% of undesirable contaminants and filter particles as small as 1/10,000 of a micron by forcing untreated water through a semi-permeable membrane.

Water travels through 16 stages of filtration:

• Stage 1: Water travels through a 5 micron solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents and traps particles larger than 5 micron including sediment, silt, sand and dirt. It also helps to extend the life of the system.
  
  
• Stage 2: Water passes through a 0.2 micron Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. Ultrafiltration (UF) is an important purification technology used for the production of high-purity water. UF is effective for the removal of colloids, proteins, bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa and pyrogens (e.g., gram-negative bacterial endotoxins), other organic molecules larger than 0.2 micron, and most other water contaminants known today.
  
  
• Stage 3:  Water flows through pre one - micron filter pads (1 micron equals 1/25,000th of an inch), which remove suspended particles such as silt, sediment, cyst (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sand, rust, dirt, and other undissolved matter.
  
  
• Stage 4: Water passes through granulated activated carbon (GAC). GAC is universally recognized and widely used as an effective adsorbent for a wide variety of organic contaminants, such as chlorine (99.9%), chemicals linked to cancer (THM's, benzene) pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's),  PCB's, MTBE's and hundreds of other chemical contaminants that may be present in water, bad taste, and odors from your drinking water.
  
  
• Stage 5: Water flows through the ion exchange resin, reducing heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water hardness.
  
  
• Stages 6 and 7: Water flows through 2 beds of Redox (Oxidation/reduction process) media made of a special high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals - copper and zinc.  Representing a new and unique way of water processing medium which by its natural process of electrochemical oxidation/reduction and adsorption action reduces and/or removes many unwanted contaminants from water. It is a major advancement in water treatment technology that works on the electro-chemical and spontaneous-oxidation-reduction (Eagle Redox Alloy®) principles. Chlorine is instantaneously and almost inexhaustibly oxidized.
  
  Iron and hydrogen sulfide are oxidized into insoluble matter and attach to the surface of the media. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, cadmium, aluminum, and other dissolved metals are removed from the water by the natural process of electrochemical process. They are attracted to the surface of the media, much like a magnet. The media inhibits bacterial growth throughout the entire unit.
  
  
• Stage 8: Water flows through another one-micron filtration pad for further reduction of undesirable particles. The end result is a great reduction or elimination of a wide variety of contaminants.
  
  
• Stage 9: Water passes through a CRYSTAL QUEST® reverse osmosis membrane, which removes and filters particles as small as 1/10,000 of a micron as most inorganic chemicals (such as salts, metals, minerals) most microorganisms including cryptosporidium and giardia, and most inorganic contaminants.
  
  
• Stage 10 and 15: Water flows through another one - micron filter pads(1 micron equals 1/25,000th of an inch), which removes suspended particles such as silt, sediment, cyst (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sand, rust, dirt, and other undissolved matter.
  
  
• Stages 11 and 12: Water flows through another bed of media made of a special high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals - copper and zinc. it is a major advancement in water treatment technology that works on the electro-chemical and spontaneous-oxidation-reduction (REDOX) principles. Chlorine is instantaneously and almost inexhaustibly oxidized.
  
  
• Stage 13: Water flows through another ion exchange resin, reducing heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water hardness.
  
  
• Stage 14: water passes through granulated activated carbon (GAC).
  
  
• Stage 16: water travels through a 0.2 micron Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. Ultrafiltration. UF is effective for the removal of colloids, proteins, bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa and pyrogens (e.g., gram-negative bacterial endotoxins), other organic molecules larger than .02 micron, and most other water contaminants known today.

CRYSTAL QUEST® Reverse Osmosis/Ultrafiltration systems have compact designs that can easily fit beneath the kitchen sink. Supplied with a complete installation kit that includes a European lead-free long-reach designer faucet, CRYSTAL QUEST® 4 gallons  stainless steel pressurized holding tank with a polypropylene inner liner  and a 3.2 gallon capacity, all interconnecting color-coded tubing, filter cartridges, Ultrafiltration membrane, RO membrane, and installation hardware for easy installation.

Please note: When considering installation, if current under sink plumbing is hard copper tubing the saddle valve would be used; for flex tubing the T-valve would be required. Please specify when ordering which installation valve you will need.

Add-on: We highly suggest adding the Alkalizer/Ionizer, Mineralizer, and Oxidation Cartridge to this system.
