Economical system designed for well water, lake water, or any water that is microbiologically unsafe, utilizing sediment, carbon block and one micron filtration combined with UVGI (ultraviolet) germicidal sterilization.
The CottagePure is a compact four stage drinking water purification system designed for well water, lake water, or water that is not treated by a municipal water treatment plant that uses chlorine to kill microorganisms, although this unit will remove chlorine. The CottagePure is NOT a whole house (point of entry) system. It is a point of use drinking water system.
The CottagePure is a unique, custom design, which includes 4 filtering stages combined in a compact three stage housing. This unit is a complete system including all the components required for a professional installation and sufficient extra filters that should provide one to two years of service before additional filters are required. This unit produces great tasting, contaminant and microorganism free drinking water. The CottagePure will destroy over 99% of bacteria and viruses, purifying water without the use of harmful chemicals.
The CottagePure System installs under the sink and comes with a lead free long reach chrome faucet and all the necessary installation hardware. The CottagePure includes 2 advanced filters with four discreet filter technologies, housed in a compact dual 10” under counter housing, with a horizontally mounted, UV-C Sterilization filter. AC Power is required. The individual components included in the five stage design include:
Stage 1: 5 Micron Dirt/Rust/Sediment Filter (3 extra filters are included)
Stage 2 & 3: Advanced 2 in 1, 2-stage carbon block filter including (I) Spun Fiber for Sediment Removal, (II) Hard Carbon Block for removal of metals, lead, chlorine, and pesticides down to one micron
Stage 4: UV-C Sterilization Filter, with AC Adapter
The CottagePure system removes particulate matter to 1 micron.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF OPUS COTTAGEPURE SYSTEM:
FILTER NUMBER 1: (Stage 1)
Stage 1: 5 micron dirt, rust, and sediment filter, removes particles that are 5 microns or larger. 5 micron particles are so small they are invisible to the naked eye, however over 95% of particulate matter found in well and lake water (as well as municipal water supplies) is 5 microns or larger in size. Particulate matter smaller than 5 micron will be captured by the second (one micron) filter.
FILTER NUMBER 2: (Stage 2 & 3)
Located in the right 10” vertical housing, the 3-in-1 (3 stages in one filter component) filter provides the following features:
STAGE 2: Spun fiber for sediment removal down to 1 micron.
STAGE 3: Carbon block that removes chlorine, metals (including heavy metals), lead, and pesticides which may enter ground water that is found in wells as a result of the use of pesticides in farming. This is not a standard carbon filter, which would only be effective for chlorine, but a sophisticated, advanced multi purpose filter design.
FILTER NUMBER 3: (STAGE 4)
Stage 4: Germicidal UV-C Lamp (replace after 12 months of use). Horizontally mounted on the top of the dual filter housing, the UV-C Germicidal light kills bacteria, viruses, mold, algae, yeast, cysts (including cryptosporidium and giardia), some volatile organic compounds and other biological contaminants. Unlike the chlorine that is used in municipal water supplies to kill microorganisms, UV-C does not introduce any potentially poisonous components into your drinking water or adversely affect the taste or smell of drinking water.
The CottagePure is designed to remove contaminants, kill microorganisms, and produce great tasting water, and unlike Reverse Osmosis (RO) and distillation, this system leaves dissolved minerals, including calcium and magnesium in solution, creating a balanced, great tasting mineral water, with no affect on the pH (alkalinity) of the water.
Designed to last a lifetime, the CottagePure includes four extra filters, all required fittings and tubing, long reach faucet and filter wrench. While we cannot guarantee how long these filters will last, as the level of contaminants can vary from one water source to another, we estimate that this system with the included filters should last a minimum of one year before additional filters are required. The Ultraviolet Lamp should be replaced annually, however if you only visit your cottage during the summer months, it can last up to four years. Aviva recommends purchasing a complete CottagePure Filter Kit annually, which would include four 5 Micron filters, 2 1 Micron 2 Stage Filters, and a replacement UV-C Lamp.
The CottagePure requires connection to an AC electrical outlet to power the germicidal UV-C sterilization component.
