EWS Water

What is the difference between the CWL and EWS Series of product?

The CWL and EWS Series of product both incorporate the highest quality in tanks, valves, carbon filtration media, engineering and workmanship. The only difference between the systems is that the EWS Series incorporates the ICN Conditioner(s) to physically condition water. This conditioning assists with problems associated with water hardness.

Throughout the country, water conditions are incredibly diverse. There are municipal or well water applications that do not require any treatment regarding water hardness. Therefore, the CWL Series offers filtration only for those areas with little or no water hardness issues. We are not looking to over-sell or provide product that is unnecessary for your application.

What contaminants will the CWL and EWS Series remove or reduce?

The highest quality of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is used in all CWL and EWS filtration due to its high removal capacities. Our carbon filtration is medical-grade quality with over 1200 iodine rating (the highest available). GAC filtration is for the general removal of chlorine, chloramine, gases, dyes, fuels, the man-made pollutant issues, and volatile organic contaminants. Filtration of these items compliment most municipal water for taste, odor, clarity and quality for oral intake, absorption and inhalation.
