Ever since its discovery in 2000, a dinosaur fossil named Leonardo has held the interest of paleontologists the world over. A 3-D model of the animal even toured the world. So what's the big deal?
Before the existence of radiocarbon dating, archaeologists would hope their prized potsherds happened to lie buried next to a dated coin. How has the measurement of C-14 and C-12 revolutionized the science of archaeology?
Prices: Water Filters
First stage, water flows through a 20" sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt. Also extends the life of the water filter and prevents damage. In stages 2 and 4, water flows through 2 beds of Redox (Oxidation/reduction process) media made of a special high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals - copper and zinc. 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 remove many unwanted contaminants from water. In stage 3, water flows through the ion exchange resin, reducing heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water hardness. In stage 5, water passes through granulated activated carbon (GAC) In stage 6 and 7, water travels through special blend of natural calcium carbonate medias which will alkalize/ionize and remineralizes water and raise the pH level of your water. In Stage 8, water travels through bed of gravel. It provides backwashing support & polishes off the water. In stage 9, water flows through a powerful magnet. In stage 10, water flows through a 20" solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's, insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents).* In stage 11, water passes through a .01 micron Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. Ultrafiltration (UF) is an important purification technology used for the production of high-purity water.

The Omnipure K-Series K5668-BB inline filter features 1/4 FPT fittings on both ends. The KDF Medium is designed specifically for reducing chlorine and water-soluble heavy metals and controls scale bacteria and algae. The K5668-BB filter contains 1 pound of KDF. One of the primary uses of the K5668-BB Water Filter is as a system component. Systems can be designed to incorporate the various lengths and diameters - either all the same size or intermixed - to meet specific filtration needs. The Omnipure K5668-BB Water Filter can be used in ice makers refrigerators beverage equipment drinking fountains under the counter systems R.O.Systems and in conjunction with purification systems. The Omnipure K5668-BB GAC with KDF water filter is a granular activated carbon filter used to reduce taste odor and chlorine taste and odor water-soluble heavy metals and control scale bacteria and algae.

The KX Matrikx + CTO/2 32-250-125-975 water filter removes chlorine taste and odor and organic chemicals that contribute to taste and odor while also providing the sediment filtration and dirt-holding capacity of an efficient 5 micron nominal sediment filter. These KX 32-250-125-975 filters work great where both a sediment and activated carbon filter are needed. The extrusion process allows the production of a carbon block with more carbon but a lower pressure drop. The KX MATRIKX + CTO/2 32-250-125-975 water filter delivers extended life while removing sediment chlorine taste and odor and organic contaminants from water aqueous solutions or suspensions. KX MATRIKX Industries 32-250-125-975 water filters are also widely used in filtering organic solvents. The KX Matrix 32-250-125-975 water filter is ideal for use in residential and commercial water purification systems food service pre- and post-RO systems. The KX MATRIKX 32-250-125-975 carbon filter is manufactured from high purity acid-washed activated carbon. The dirt-holding capacity and the absence of carbon fines makes the KX MATRIKX CTO/2 the filter of choice. KX MATRIKX + CTO/2 replacement filter cartridges combine both high performance and integrity with an exceptional cost-to-performance value. Dimensions: 9.75 L x 2.875 W. Initial Pressure ChangeFlow: 2.0 psid1.0 GPM. Maximum Operating Temperature: 125°F. Maximum Operating Pressure: 250 psig. Maximum Differential Pressure: 100 psid. Collapse Pressure: 200 psid.
