Problems

|
Sediment |
PROBLEM: All drinking water has some
degree of suspended particulate matter. Many particles (of smaller
than 50 microns) are not visible, but still may cause problems.
Rust, Sand, Algae, Clay, Scale and even Cryptosporidium or Giardia
Cysts may all be included in the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in
your water. Excessive amounts of sediment in your water can appear as
cloudiness, rust, or specks; dirt or particles on bottom of drinking
glasses or faucet aerator; dirt or grime in sinks, tubs, or shower stalls;
or spotting or stains on dishes after washing. Sediment buildup in
your pipes and appliances can cause low water pressure and can
damage or reduce the efficiency of ice machines,
washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters, showerheads, and
faucets.
SOLUTION: Campbell has various filters and cartridges to
remove all types of sediment.
Cryptosporidium and Giardia Cysts are water-borne parasites that may
cause disease and gastrointestinal disorders if ingested. They are
highly-resistant to Chlorine disinfection, but can be controlled
with Campbell sediment filters and cartridges.

Taste & Odor |
PROBLEM: Chlorine is used extensively in
some municipal and private water systems to control bacteria. But
even in safe levels, it can sometimes cause that unpleasant
"swimming pool" taste and odor. Another offensive taste/odor in
drinking water is the "rotten egg" smell caused by the presence of
Hydrogen Sulfide.
SOLUTION: These and other unpleasant tastes and odors can be
reduced in your drinking/cooking water with Campbell activated
charcoal Filters/Cartridges.

Hazardous Contaminants |
PROBLEM: Although some
contaminants, like chlorine, have strong odors, many others are
tasteless, odorless, and colorless. Even seemingly safe water can
contain dangerous levels of the following contaminants: Lead,
Solvents, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) such as Pesticides
Herbicides, Benzine, Carbon Tetrachloride, PDBs, and Trihalomethanes,
that have been linked to such health problems as liver and kidney
damage, reproductive failure, cancer, and other diseases.
SOLUTION: Campbell has filters and filtering systems to
remove a large percentage of these harmful contaminants.

Scale & Chalky
Deposits |
PROBLEM: Buildup of Calcium and Magnesium
Carbonate can form a hard, thick, chalky crust which can restrict
flow in, or even clog, your water pipes and cause damage to
expensive appliances such as water heaters, icemakers, warm-air
humidifiers, under sink "instant-hot" water dispensers, and small
vending machines.
SOLUTION: Campbell Chalky Deposit Filters use slow-releasing,
FDA-listed food-grade, polyphosphate crystals to prevent this
damaging scale accumulation. |
