AlkaViva External Heavy Metals & Sulfur and Iron Reduction Cartridge for Water Ionizers

The AlkaViva External Heavy Metals & Sulfur/Iron Reduction Cartridge removes heavy metals and also utilizes carbon for the reduction of chlorine, taste, and odor.

AlkaViva is using a compound called KDF that has long been used in water treatment industry for the removal of iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfides to do this.

PLEASE NOTE:  This filter cartridge is intended for use outside of your AlkaViva water ionizer machine and DOES NOT come with the filter housing. If this is your first time purchasing an external filter cartridge, you will need to purchase the filter housing - sold separately here. 

About Heavy Metals, Hydrogen Sulfide and Iron:

Hydrogen Sulfide is a colorless gas that has a very disagreeable odor, much like that of rotten eggs and slightly soluble in water. Dissolved in water, it forms a very weak dibasic acid that is sometimes called hydro sulfuric acid. Hydrogen sulfide is flammable; in an excess of air, it burns to form sulfur dioxide and water, but if not enough oxygen is present, it forms elemental sulfur and water.

Immediate symptoms from the gas may include dizziness and an upset stomach. Lengthy exposure may lead to loss of consciousness and/or death. Although many impurities are regulated by Primary or Secondary Drinking Water Standards set by the EPA, hydrogen sulfide is not regulated. A concentration high enough to be a drinking water health hazard also makes the water unpalatable.

Iron is one of the earth's most plentiful resources, making up at least 5 percent of the earth's crust. Rainfall seeping through the soil dissolves iron in the earth's surface and carries it into almost every kind of natural water supply, including well water. Iron is not hazardous to health, but it is considered a secondary or aesthetic contaminant. Essential for good health, iron helps transport oxygen in the blood.

Most tap water in the United States supplies approximately 5 percent of the dietary requirement for iron. The maximum contaminant level for iron is .3 milligram per liter. When the iron combines with tea, coffee and other beverages, it produces an inky, black appearance and a harsh, unacceptable taste. Vegetables cooked in water containing excessive iron turn dark and look unappealing. Concentrations of iron as low as 0.3 mg/l will leave reddish brown stains on fixtures, tableware and laundry that are very hard to remove. When these deposits break loose from water piping, rusty water will flow through the faucet.

Rated for 1,000 gals.

Our Story

Our CEO understands first-hand the need for clean water in the US and around the world. With a master's degree in International Affairs, Conflict & Security and having lived in Africa for a short period in her life, she saw how clean water, and lack of clean water, affected entire communities, including children. That's why it is our company's mission to deliver clean water products to our customers while also supporting clean water charities around the world.

She also has her own family, including two little girls under age 2, to think about and provide for. Children are the most susceptible to contracting diseases from bacteria and viruses. This is why it is her top priority to provide her children and family with the cleanest water to drink, clean their food with, bathe in, have their clothes washed in, and play in.
