Air bubbles that have been formed during the manufacturing process can cause a cloudy appearance. These air bubbles are not harmful and will be easily eliminated with use as the water pushes the air out.

ACIDITY- a characteristic that can make water corrosive and unpleasant; acidity must generally be corrected with neutralization ACTIVATED CARBON- carbon which has been chemically treated to improve its adsorption properties and filtration capacity ADSORPTION- the process by which contaminants react with activated carbon and are removed /from water BRINE-The rinse water from a reverse osmosis filter which contains all the offal not allowed to pass thru the membrane, it is sent to the drain.

There can be nearly an infinite number of reasons for water problems. Assuming the water has been ok up till now, some of the more common possibilities are, residual soap in swimwear, makeup or other personal hygiene products. Consider what has happened, or who has used the spa most recently. If the foam goes away shortly after turning off the jets, the cause is probably a saturation of total dissolved solids.

All continuous flow Home Water Ionizers on the market have a carbon filter. The carbon in the filter is silver impregnated in order to retard bacterial growth. The silver that is impregnated in the carbon will NOT leach into the water. Every major manufacturer of carbon filters in the US produces carbon filters with silver impregnation. There are no Water Ionizers currently manufactured that use arsenic in their filters as has been suggested.

This is dependent on the challenges imposed on the cushion. The average person passes gas 14 times a day. Not all outbursts however will be made on the specialty formulated membrane and we therefore based our design criteria on five outbursts per day. Based on this, our sample study shows a life span of six months for a women and half that for a man. The technically advanced filter in GasMedic will last two to four times longer.

A lot of people don't realize that an undergravel filter serves as a biological filter, and not as a chemical or mechanical filter. In other words, there's no physical removal of debris from the aquarium water. Sometimes too, the tank is presented with a large bio load ( lots of fish) before the filter is ready to handle it, or even while the tank is still being cycled. Take your time adding fish.

After you install a new filter (this is the case with any/all brands of filter cartridges) you should run it for a few minutes. Generally cloudy or white water indicates air in the line. This is natural and normal with the replacement of a cartridge. Air will enter in the housing, lines and cartridge. Just run the water for a few minutes and the cloudy conditions will go away (unless you have very cold water in which case it is the oxygen in the water that could be making the water look cloudy).

The fail-safe way of sizing any type of filter is to contact our technical team at Derwent Water Systems Limited who will be more than happy to advise you on sizing your carbon water filter.

There could be many reasons for cloudy water. The Water Quality Assurance Lab will want to talk with you. They can answer your question. The number is 645-7691.

It could be many things such as bacterial bloom if you have a new tank or the filter has been compromised, or a white precipitate in hard water where phosphate based pH adjuster has been used. Try asking one of the newsgroups, but remember to detail your specific circumstances so the cause can be pinned down for your situation.

A carbon filter, or activated carbon filter as it is sometimes called, is primarily used for its absorbent capacities and the removal of dissolved organics. Tastes and Odours: an activated carbon filter will also remove chlorine and other halogens and low-molecular-weight substances (below 100mm). Activated carbon filters are very prone to infection from bacteria and can become somewhat of a breeding ground.

The post carbon filter will remove any residual Volatile Organic Contaminant that may have carried over and will also enhance or "polish" the taste of the product water.

My gums have receded as a result of orthodontia. My periodontist has recommended grafting with Alloderm. My concern is the transmission of HIV.

Cloudy water in a new tank is often a sign that you did not wash your gravel adequately. If you did, you may have a bacterial bloom. This bloom can be treated with products such as Acural F. For crystal clear water, an ultraviolet sterilizer is the best permanent cure.

Water can be come cloudy for several reasons, but mainly overfeeding and overcrowding. Give me more details about your set-up (what size container, how many and how big are the creatures-guppies, platy, snail, etc).

Cloudy water can be caused by improper water balance, inadequate filtration or shocking, or excess calcium. If you experience cloudy water, check the balance, try an extra shock treatment of PristinePower, clean the spa filters and increase the filtration time of your spa.
