The Macrolite® Backwashing Filter reduces certain forms of iron, sediment, particulate matter and turbidity down to negligible levels.
A proprietary ceramic media available only from Kinetico, Macrolite filters certain forms of iron, sediment, particulate matter and turbidity down to negligible levels.
Moving water is the power source, not electricity, so operation is simple and reliable. There are no timers or computers to set, adjust, repair or replace.
Dual tanks accommodate higher flow rates needed in multi-person and larger homes.
Tap water that appears to be cloudy or milky can often be attributed to excess air inside of the water. Hot water is often more cloudy than cooler water since expanded molecules trap more gasses that appear as small bubbles in the water. This type of turbidity usually dissipates after a few minutes as the captured air bubbles rise to the surface and escape into the air.
Not all cloudy water is caused by excess air, but it can also be caused by metals, minerals, or bacteria, which can also tint the water different colors. This can be caused naturally or from land disturbances such as construction, storms and urban runoff. As the water makes it's way through the water system it comes into contact with different materials and minerals that can dissolve into the water.
A water main break or construction on the water main leading to your home is another common cause of turbidity in homes with city water. If there is a water main break near your home, you may notice your water appears cloudy or dirty. This is often caused by sediment and excess air entering the water supply. When this occurs, local health officials may announce a boil alert to kill bacteria and viruses that may have entered the water supply, but boiling may not help with cloudy water issues. To further improve water quality, install a water filter to significantly reduce contaminants, sediment or minerals that cause turbidity.
