Why look for NSF and
Gold Seal certification?
NSF International,
which sets industry standards for water filtration systems,
has tested and certified Everpure precoat filters with
its highest ratings for meeting strict guidelines for
health and aesthetic qualities. Everpure was also the
first to pass NSF's new live cyst test--claiming 99.99%
live cyst reduction.
The Water
Quality Association has also awarded Everpure products
its prestigious Gold Seal validation for quality and
integrity.
Everpure precoat filters are certified
under Standard 42, Class I for aesthetic effects and
Standard 53 for health effects.

IMC Water Coolers proudly uses Everpure Filtration
Systems. Everpure, Inc. is a worldwide leader in providing water
quality solutions since 1933. Everpure Filtration Systems are tested
and certified to the highest standards by NSF International and
have earned the prestigious Water Quality Association's Gold Seal
of Validation. Companies such as Coca Cola, United Airlines, Winnebago,
Walt Disney World, US Navy and even Air Force One have relied on
Everpure Filtration Systems for years.
There
are many different water treatment technologies that address different
water quality needs. When it comes to filtration, Everpure's precoat
process provides better protection against contaminants.
Precoat
filtration removes particles, off-tastes and odors, asbestos fibers,
cysts like Cryptosporidium and Giardia, and other harmful contaminants.
Precoat provides Absolute Filtration and removes 99.99% of all particles
as small as 1/2 micron in size. This patented technology offers
the largest filtering surface area, a long filter life, and protection
against undetectable failures such as chanelling and dumping.

A typical 10" carbon block filter has a surface area of
78.5 square inches.
|
|
The surface area of a pleated membrane in a 10" Everpure
precoat filter is 444 square inches. That's 5.6 times more
surface area.
|
|
 |
A heavy-duty, aluminum cartridge housing protects the Everpure
filter system from splitting or bursting. It's lined with
a food-grade polymer that prevents the water from coming in
contact with the aluminum.

Through our exclusive precoat process, Micro-Pure
coats the filter membrane throughout the life of the
cartridge. Water flows evenly and freely, even with
changes in water pressure.
Micro-Pure®
A proprietary blend of very fine activated carbon
called Micro-Pure® coats a unique, pleated filter
membrane.

|
Incoming pressure forces the water through the layer
of Micro-Pure and through the filter membrane.
The openings in the Micro-Pure layer are so small
that any particle 1/2 micron (1/50,000 inch) or larger
is removed, including harmful cysts and asbestos fibers.

Filtered water channels up through the rigid grid
structure of the filter membrane and out of the system.
