How the media works

The secret behind this system’s effectiveness is the strong-base anion resin within the ion-exchange tank. This resin is specially designed to attract and capture the negatively charged chromate ions—Chromium-6’s chemical form—from the water passing through. As water flows, the resin swaps harmless ions in place of the chromate, effectively removing the contaminant and releasing clean, safe water into your household plumbing. This exchange process continues efficiently until the resin reaches capacity, at which point the metered control valve initiates a regeneration cycle to refresh the media and maintain peak performance.
