Single Under-Bench Unit

This Under-Bench Unit is suitable for treated or non-treated water supplies according to the filtration cartridge fitted. It may be fitted with a radial-flow activated-carbon cartridge to remove bad tastes, odours, herbicides, pesticides and most chemicals in chlorinated water supplies. Alternatively, it may be fitted with a ceramic cartridge to remove amoebic cysts (e.g., cryptosporidium and giardia), and particles (not bad tastes) in non-chlorinated areas.
It will treat water at flow rates up to three litres per minute - about six seconds flow to fill a glass. It is installed under the kitchen bench and connected to a bench-top touch-tap, or alternatively, connected to the existing cold-water tap. If the unit is connected to an existing tap all water will be treated and a flow rate of six litres per minute is possible.

Under Bench setup

Once installed, the patented SilverSafe Power Pack using the Electro-cathodic Particle Dislodgement process introduces trace amounts of silver ions into the water to kill bacteria prior to filtration. With the ceramic filter fitted, the water delivered will remain free of harmful bacteria for an extended period of time with correct storage. The SilverSafe power pack will require a new set of batteries and a new filter about once a year.

The Under-Bench Unit pictured has been installed below a kitchen bench using the bench-top touch tap.

Applications and Benefits

The Under-Bench Unit is ideal where a permanent installation is required. The bench-top touch-tap offers added convenience.

Apart from the touch-tap, nothing is visible on the bench top. There is nothing to clutter the clean lines of today’s designer kitchens.

The SilverSafe Electro-cathodic Particle Dislodgement process is patented world-wide* and continued research will ensure that Homepure maintains its leadership in water purification technology.
