EPA Sampling and Analysis Methods
How much copper can your
media sorb within 20 seconds
@ 232.2 gph out of tap water?
How much chelated Copper can your media sorb in 14 minutes
and
16 seconds from synthetic seawater @ 232.2 gph (3.87 gpm)?
EPA Method 7210
Did you know that adding calcium supplements
puts additional lead into your marine or reef tank? How
much of this added lead (Pb) can your filter
media remove from synthetic seawater? EPA Method 7421
Does your carbon media really adsorb
volatile organic chemicals? Did you know that chloroform
(CHCI3) is used as a surrogate for volatile organics? How
much chloroform can your carbon adsorb from water? EPA Method
502.1
EPA Method 7210
Poly-Filter sorbed 47.96% of 718.95ng/ml copper out of tap
water, producing 374.09 ng/ml filtrate! (2) PMA 12/Pks sorbed
46.4% of 1570.16 ng/ml chelated Cu (CopperSafe) to produce
841.86 ng/ml filtrate @232.2 gph.
EPA Method 7421
Our standard Poly-Filter cut into discs (2.75" dia.)
sorbed 63.47% of 248.38 ng/ml (lead) producing 90.72 ng/ml
filtrate after 14 minutes and 16 seconds @ 232.2 gph flow
rate. 8.12pH-8.39pH.
EPA Method 502.1
Our PMA 12/Pk sorbed 73.85% of 347.01 ng/ml chloroform (CHCI3)
to produce a 90.71ng/ml chloroform filtrate. We produced
potable water on a single pass! We know our data is more
usable than pore sizes and volume ratings.
Note: ng/ml = µg/l
µg/l = part-per-billion
