![]() ![]() The ferrous iron is completely oxidized and adheres to the media throughout the filter bed.(not just on the surface) This gives the tank a larger iron holding capacity than conventional iron filters. In this bed the water’s pH is raised, greatly accelerating the action of the air on the iron. ![]() The iron can then be more easily filtered.įrom the aeration /contact tank the water passes into the filter tank which contains a natural mineral media bed. The oxygen in the air starts the natural iron removal process by oxidizing the iron and causing it to come out of solution. As the water falls through the air pocket it absorbs oxygen. The air pump adds a controlled amount of air to the aeration /contact tank, forming an air pocket. The Chem-Free works on the principle of “aeration- filtration.” This iron filter features three major components: an air pump, an aeration /contact tank and a backwashable filter containing special media. This has the added benefit of neutralizing acidic (corrosive) water. The Chem-Free iron removal filter’s process raises the pH of the water, improving the efficiency of iron removal. Another advantage of the air pump is that air is introduced on the outlet side of the pressure tank, which prevents precipitated iron from building up in the pressure system. The Air Pump causes no restriction of your pipes. When they become clogged with iron, the increased back pressure on your well pump can shut off your water and damage your pump. Venturis greatly reduce the flow rate from your well. ![]() The Air Pump is a great improvement over venturis or hydrochargers for adding air to Chem-Free Iron removal systems. The Chem-Free iron filter is easy and economical to maintain There is virtually no limit on the amount of iron this filter can remove. Instead, this filter uses plain air to oxidize the iron and plain water to backwash the filter. It is safe and very economical because it requires none of the expensive or messy chemicals such as chlorine, potassium permanganate or salt which conventional iron filters use. It also removes bacterial iron, manganese and sulfur gas. It automatically removes ferrous iron, sometimes called “clear water” iron, as well as ferric iron, sometimes called “red water” iron. Once installed, the Chem-Free iron filter requires little attention. The Chem-Free iron filter eliminates iron from your water and iron problems from your life. Dishes and bathroom fixtures that glisten and sparkle. Clothing that’s clean, fresh and stain-free. We are still the only company in Canada whose entire product line is truly preservative free.Clean, crystal clear, great tasting water. In fact, we were the first company in Canada to create nitrite free deli meats. McLean has never used celery extracts in any of our deli products. We do not replace sodium nitrate with celery nitrates. That is why our organic bacon is truly nitrite free. We believe all organic products should be preservative free. So what’s healthier, organic bacon or nitrate free bacon? It shouldn’t be a choice. On Oct 26th, 2015 the WHO (World Health Organization) classified processed meat (meat cured with Sodium Nitrite or Nitrate) as carcinogenic to humans, based on sufficient evidence in humans that the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer. The threat of cancer arises when a nitrite combines with amines and Heme iron, which is found only in meat, to form a compound called nitrosamine which is formed during cooking, and during the process of digestion. Why should we avoid Nitrites that are found in bacon and deli meats? Studies show that sodium nitrites and nitrates can increase the risks of certain cancers, can interfere with the thyroid gland, and interfere with the blood’s ability to deliver oxygen to the body.Īs reported in the New York Times on Aug 8th, in 1973 - “Sodium nitrite is a chemical that cures meat, makes it look better and prevents botulism. We believe a happier animal is a healthier animal. Organic animals are more humanely raised (no crates or cages). The overuse of antibiotics in farm animals is being blamed for the increase in resistant bacteria, also known as "superbugs." When these are passed to humans they can cause serious illness. Organic meat is healthier than factory farmed meat because organic animals are fed only GMO-free organic feed without animal by-products and raised without antibiotics. Which is Healthier, Organic Bacon or Nitrate Free Bacon? ![]()
