Stage: 1
A bag filter effectively removes physical impurities such as sand, dust, mud, silt, and even white particles from water. These bags can be easily removed by hand, containing all solids for convenient disposal.
Stage: 2
Polyphosphates arise by polymerization of phosphoric acid derivatives. The process begins with two phosphate units coming together in a condensation reaction.
2 H(PO4)2− ⇌ (P2O7)4− + H2O
The condensation is shown as an equilibrium because the reverse reaction, hydrolysis, is also possible. The process may continue in steps; at each step another (PO3)− unit is added to the chain, as indicated by the part in brackets in the illustration of polyphosphoric acid. P4O10 can be seen as the end product of condensation reactions, where each tetrahedron shares three corners with the others. Conversely, a complex mix of polymers is produced when a small amount of water is added to phosphorus pentoxide.

Zoftnor Metal Alloy Process
Metal alloys are an essential component of Zoftnor’s water softening process. The combination of iron, aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium and zinc is melted at a specific temperature to create a unique alloy design that provides superior filtration, chemical and thermal stability, and a longer service life. This combination of metals is carefully monitored to ensure that the alloy is of the highest quality and that it is able to perform all of its intended functions in the water softening process. The alloy is then used in the softening process to help remove impurities from the water and to improve the overall quality of the water. The use of metal alloys in Zoftnor’s water softening process helps to ensure that the water is safe to use.
Electrolysis is a chemical process that uses an electric current to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction. It involves the use of two electrodes, the anode and the cathode, which are immersed in an electrolyte solution. The anode and cathode play crucial roles in the electrolysis process.
Anode:
The anode is the electrode where oxidation occurs during electrolysis.
At the anode, electrons are released, leading to the formation of positively charged ions.
In most cases, the anode is made of a material that is capable of oxidizing, such as metal or graphite.
For example, in the electrolysis of water (H2O), when water molecules are split into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) gases, oxygen ions are formed at the anode: 2H2O(l) → O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e-
The anode is typically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply.
Cathode:
The cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs during electrolysis.
At the cathode, electrons are gained, leading to the reduction of positively charged ions.
The cathode is usually made of a material that can facilitate reduction, such as metal or another conductive material.
In the electrolysis of water, hydrogen ions are reduced at the cathode to form hydrogen gas: 4H+(aq) + 4e- → 2H2(g)
The cathode is typically connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.
Turbfree Media Filters
Using TurbFree media filters presents a cost-effective solution for reducing turbidity and achieving cleaner water. This media is made from recycled glass, contributing to environmental sustainability. Typically composed of fine glass particles, TurbFree media offers superior filtration capabilities, reduces chemical dependency, and ensures clearer water. TurbFree media filters also require less maintenance, making them a versatile and beneficial choice for filtration systems overall.
