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.
