Crystal Pure^® UBMAC25 Underbench Purifier

The Crystal Pure UBMAC25 Underbench Purifier provides protection against Giardia and gives comprehensive control of chlorine, chemicals, trihalomethanes (THM's), pesticides, herbicides, and aluminium, which are found in most town water supplies.

The separate purifier tap compliments any kitchen or bench design, with optional designer taps available.  It can be easily installed by yourself, as it is a step-by-step DIY kit, with all connections and instructions included.  

The UBMAC25 comes complete with a 0.6-micron (nominal) high purity, acid washed, solid activated carbon block filter (MAC25). The life of the MAC25 filter is greatly extended by two layers of pre-filtration media consisting of a coarse 15-micron outer layer and a fine 5-micron inner layer.  Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, the solid extruded carbon filter will not channel or bypass due to the extreme uniformity of the extruded carbon core.

Aluminium is added to most town water supplies during treatment as part of the flocculation (dirt removal) process, however, not all of it is removed before the water leaves the treatment station.  Recent studies show that exposure to aluminium in drinking water may increase an individual's chances of developing Alzheimer's Disease.  While not designed specifically as a heavy metal reduction filter, the MAC25 will remove up to 85% aluminium (Tested by Massey University, NZ, 1995).

There is no cleaning or maintenance required between filter changes. The filter cartridge is very easy to change. Simply turn the water off by fully turning the saddle tapping valve in clockwise, unscrew the housing and change the cartridge. Quick release fittings allow the housing to be easily removed from under the sink for cleaning and changing of the filter cartridge.

Please contact us if you have questions regarding the most suitable model for your particular town water supply. Contaminants can vary from place to place and we can recommend the correct cartridge from our extensive range of cartridges which may not be listed here.

* NOTES

• The MAC25 filter cartridge should only be used with microbiologically safe water, as it is not designed to kill or remove bacteria or viruses.
• The MAC25 filter cartridge is not bacteriostatic and must be changed after 12 months, regardless of usage, as a bacterial growth may develop after this period.
• Actual filter life cannot be guaranteed, as it will depend on the quality of the water supply.
• To be used on cold water only.
