Crystal Quest's Eagle Redox Alloy®
Eagle
Redox Alloy®
is a patented product and
represents a major advancement in water
treatment technology that works on basic
process known as REDOX
(oxidation/reduction) principles,
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.
Eagle
Redox Alloy® medium is a versatile,
specially formulated high purity,
bimetal material. This product operates
as a multifunctional medium which has
superior capabilities of de-chlorination
of drinking water and reduces dissolved
heavy metals in water supplies.
The media inhibits bacteria growth
(fungi, algae and mold) and reduces lime
scale, mold, and fungi throughout the
entire unit. In fact, testing has shown
that it reduces it up to 90%; thus
eliminating the need for silver,
commonly used in carbon-only filters.
Patented Eagle Redox Alloy® media
consists of a high purity copper-zinc
formulation. These substances exchange
electrons or bond with chlorine and
other metals contained in the water to
create harmless substances.
Eagle Redox Alloy® is completely safe
and meets EPA and FDA standards for
levels of zinc and copper in potable
water, so the process is not toxic and
does not cause any adverse side effects.
What is Eagle
Redox Alloy® Oxidation Reduction
Process?
Eagle Redox Alloy® is a high-purity
copper-zinc formulation that uses a
basic process known as redox
(oxidation/reduction) to remove
chlorine, lead, mercury, iron, and
hydrogen sulfide from water supplies.
How does Eagle
Redox Alloy® Work?
In short, the Eagle Redox Alloy® redox
process works by exchanging electrons
with contaminants. This "give and take"
of electrons converts many contaminants
into harmless components. During this
reaction, electrons are transferred
between molecules, and new elements are
created. Some harmful contaminants are
changed into harmless components. Others
are electrochemically bound to the Eagle
Redox Alloy® media.
What Contaminants
Does Eagle Redox Alloy® Remove?
Eagle Redox Alloy® process media works
to reduce or remove chlorine, iron,
hydrogen sulfide, lead, mercury, calcium
carbonate, magnesium, chromium,
bacteria, algae, and fungi. Redox media
removes up to 98% of water-soluble
cations (positively-charged ions) of
lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium,
and other dissolved metals. In most
cases, more than 98% of chlorine is
removed if operated within recommended
flow rates.
Will Eagle Redox
Alloy® remove Iron from the Water?
Redox media alloys function
as catalysts to change soluble ferrous
cations (positively-charged ions) into
insoluble ferric hydroxide, which can be
removed with regular backwashing. With
enough oxygen dissolved in the water,
iron removal rates of 98 percent or
better are common.
How Does Eagle
Redox Alloy® Remove Chlorine from the
Water?
High-purity copper-zinc redox media
consistently remove 99% of free chlorine
by electrochemically reducing dissolved
chlorine gas to water-soluble chloride
ions.
How does Eagle
Redox Alloy® Remove Hydrogen Sulfide
from the Water?
When hydrogen sulfide
contaminated water enters the Eagle
Redox Alloy® filter, the copper in the
Eagle Redox Alloy® media loses an
electron and the sulfur gains an
electron and copper sulfide and water
are formed. The copper sulfide is
insoluble in water and can be backwashed
off the Eagle Redox Alloy® filter media.
Will the Eagle
Redox Alloy® process media remove heavy
metals such as lead from the water?
Eagle Redox Alloy® media
remove up to 98% of water-soluble
cations (positively-charged ions) of
lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium,
and other dissolved metals. When
filtered through Eagle Redox Alloy®
media, soluble lead cations are reduced
to insoluble lead atoms, which are
electroplated onto the surface of the
media. Other heavy metals bond to the
media and may be recovered when the
exhausted media pass through a copper
smelter.
Will the Eagle
Redox Alloy® process media control
microorganism growth in the water
filters?
Eagle Redox Alloy® media are
incorporated into carbon blocks and
other matrices for bacteria control and
scale reduction. The oxidation/reduction
potential (ORP) shift by a factor of
-300mV or more for water filtered
through redox media controls
microorganism growth. Treating water
reduces bacteria and other
microorganisms by disrupting electron
transport, causing cellular damage.
Eagle Redox Alloy® process media also
kill bacteria by direct electrochemical
contact and by the flash formation of
hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide,
both of which interfere with a
microorganism's ability to function.
Will the Eagle
Redox Alloy® filter systems add any
toxic substances to the water?
Eagle Redox Alloy® process
media are completely safe. Eagle Redox
Alloy® media meet EPA and Food and Drug
Administration standards for levels of
zinc and copper in potable water, so the
process is not toxic and does not cause
any adverse side effects. You may not
even realize that Eagle Redox Alloy®
process media are working for you. Eagle
Redox Alloy® media is the core product
of many filtration systems, and can be
used in conjunction with other products
to provide superior purification.
