How The Lakota System Works

The Lakota System incorporates the latest technologies to provide you with the highest quality performance from your unit.

All units feature six stages of filtration using oxidation-reduction media, bituminous carbon, coconut carbon in two different forms, heavy metal sorbent, prefilter and post depth filters. the triple housing units include an add-on option for special water filtration problems. (See choosing a filter.) By using three separate media housings, we can incorporate several different types of carbon (bituminous and coconut carbon) and a lot of carbon, as well as two other kinds of media (oxidation-reduction media and a heavy metal sorbent that also removes arsenic). We believe that this gives the broadest spectrum of contaminant removal of any product on the market.

Our standard twin housing unit includes (numbers correspond to photo):

1. Sediment pre-filter built into the inline cartridge

2. Oxidation-reduction media removes chlorine and serves as a bacteriostatic agent, preventing bacterial growth in the unit.

3. Acid-washed, bituminous based carbon for the removal of high molecular weight chemicals such as pharmaceuticals and herbicides.

4. The LCB is a solid carbon block capable of one micron filtration for the removal of micro-organisms such as Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium. the coconut-based carbon has micropores of smaller size than the bituminous carbon for the removal of solvents, low molecular weight chemicals, disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes and chloroform.

5. The LCB filter also contains a special heavy metal sorbent for the removal of lead, arsenic, chromium, uranium and cadmium.

6. Water is put through two LCB carbon blocks in series for maximum effectiveness.

7. Filtered water exits the unit and goes to the faucet mounted at the sink rim.

8. Ball valve controls water flow rate and shuts off water to the unit.
