“Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land”

MS5K 'Glacier' Stainless Steel Whole House Filter

MS5K - Glacier Whole House FilterStart enjoying safe, chlorine-free water right away. Reduce the strain currently placed on your immune system and you may even get rid of long-standing symptoms - from sinus and respiratory problems to dry, itchy skin.

Washing with unfiltered water can be harmful to sensitive people. The chlorine and other chemicals in water can dry the skin causing itching, flaking and cracking. This can be particularly severe for people suffering from eczema and psoriasis.

Chlorine is vaporised when heated and then inhaled by the bather. The whole house unit is designed to remove the most common contaminates from all household water
.

How does the system work?

The MS5K whole house filtration system consists of 6 filter cartridges; a pre-filter and 5 either carbon block or ceramic cartridges. This removes sediment, chlorine and chemicals for uses such as showering, bathing, washing clothes

We recommend that the pre-filter is changed every 6 months and the carbon block or ceramic filters are changed once a year. The system is fitted onto the mains water supply so that your whole house is filtered.

Our stainless steel ‘Glacier’ systems have the added benefit of higher flow rate potential, more flexible cartridge solutions and a ten year guarantee on housings.

Inline Pre-Filter
We use a 1 micron pre-filter to prolong the life of the Whole House cartridge. The pre-filter removes turbidity, sediment and particulates such as dirt and rust.

Main filtration cartridges

The main housing can be fitted with either carbon block or ceramic cartridges according to your requirements.

  • ‘Topaz’ carbon block: For filtration of mains water where chemical rather than bacteria contamination is an issue. Removes the following chemicals in both particle and dissolved forms. 
    • Chlorine
    • Trihalomethane
    • Pesticides
    • Herbicides
    • PAH's*
    • Phenols
    • Parasites
    • Various Other Chemicals

    *Polyaromatic hydrocarbons, oil based chemicals, tetrahydrochoride, dry cleaning solvents etc.
  • ‘Jade’ silverised ceramic cartridge: Choose ceramic cartridges where removal of bacteria is more important than removal of chemicals, for example from a borehole supply. 
  • 'Platinum' Ceramic/ Carbon cartridges: Combine the great benefits of both types of filtration from one type of cartridge, use this cartridge to achieve the best water for you and your family.

Additional Systems

We can also supply an extra Bypass housing with a ‘Crystal’ cartridge for the removal of heavy metals. Contact us for more details

Housings

The filter housing is made of high grade stainless steel. All stainless steel filter housings carry a 10 year warranty.

Is the MS5K right for me?

The average person uses 150 litres of water per day for drinking, bathing and washing. The Whole house system comes in two sizes. The smaller MS5K has the capacity for an average of 1-2 person household. All units are designed to be plumbed in where the mains water supply comes into the house. We recommend that an under sink, point of use, filter such as the Fresh Water 1000 be fitted as well to remove possible bacteria from drinking water.
