ACR-1 series utilizes FDA-grade, sodium, based, strongly acidic ion-exchange resin which reduces calcium and magnesium ion content in water. Calcium and magnesium are often called "hardness minerals". Large amounts of these ions in water are responsible for the formation of scale deposits, higher detergent consumption and stains on glassware. In extreme cases large amounts of calcium and magnesium can lead to glass etching. Hard water damages home appliances such as: dishwashers and washing machines, and increases their energy consumption. Description:
 Aquafilter offers FCCST cartridges suitable for POU (Point of Use) and POE (Points of Entry) installations. Through its accurate media consisted of cation-based exchange resin, FCCST cartridges diminish water hardness by reducing calcium and magnesium concentration. In case your feed water contains a high concentration of suspended matter, FCCST cartridges are commonly preceded by a Sediment filter to avoid a detriment of the cartridge performance.
