SPECTRA CHROME DE-IONIZED WATER FILTRATION SYSTEMS
The Spectra Chrome process utilizes unique silvering solutions, which are mixed with de-ionized water. De-ionized water is created when tap water is passed through a set of filters that remove all dissolved material and metals, or ions. To achieve a perfect Spectra Chrome finish, high quality de-ionized water is a must. When the water quality is poor, the silver deposit will exhibit a slight yellowish hue when sprayed. Very poor water quality can result in having a silver deposit which looks yellow-brown and can have black specks and imperfections.
Distilled Water: The use of distilled water, which is avaliable at most local super markets, is not recommended. Distilled water does not have the purity of de-ionized water. Most distilled water has a Totally Dissolved Solides (TDS) reading of .001 to .009. High quality de-ionized water always has a reading of .000. With the purchase of any Spectra Chrome system you will receive a hand held, battery operated TDS meter to quickly and easily measure the quality water you wish to use.
Purchase: It is recommended to purchase a DI water system so that quality DI water can be dispensed from the filter system whenever needed. There may be local companies in your area which carry DI water filter systems for lease or purchase. If you cannot find such a company, Spectra Chrome now offers two different DI water systems to choose from which provide excellent quality DI water. The two different systems with specifications are shown on the previous page. After the carbon and mixed-bed filter material is spent, refills for the mixed-bed and carbon filters can be purchased through Spectra Chrome at a fraction of the initial cost.
How it works: With either DI system, city water under pressure is fed through an input valuve and first passes through a carbon filter. A carbon filter removes chlorine and other inorganics before the water passes into the mixed-bed filter. The mixed-bed filter removes the dissolved metals and completes the DI filtering process. The output of the DI filter system includes an in-line electronic Resilite which measures the resistance or ability of the DI water to conduct electricity. When the carbon and mixed-bed filters are fresh, the resultant water has nearly no dissolved ions to conduct electricity; and the resistance reading is very high, typically 15 or 16 Mega ohms. As the filters are used, they become less effective and the resistance reading becomes lower; from 15, 14, 13...down to 1 Mega ohm of resistance. At one Mega ohm the Resilite changes illumination from green to red indication teh water quality is degraded. 1 Mega ohm corresponds to a TDS reading of .001. Using DI water at 1 Mega ohm results in a very slightly yellowish silver deposit, and becomes worse as the water quality degrades. When the Resilite has a red light indication, it is time to change out the carbon and mixed-bed material. The number of gallons that either DI system can effectively filter depends upon the quality of the input city water source. If the water source has a high quantity of dissolved metals, the filters will not last as long. Conversely, if the water source has a low quantity of dissolved metal, the filters will last longer.
TDS Meter: A handheld TDS meter is included with the purchase of every Spectra Chrome system. TDS stands for Totally Dissolved Solids, which is an alternative way of measuring DI water quality. When using the TDS meter, place the bottom of the meter into the filtered DI waer you wish to use. Make sure the electrodes of the meter are submerged into the DI water. A reading of .000 is required on the meter to ensure perfect quality DI water is present. A meter reading of .001 corresponds to a values close to 1 mega ohm and the Resilite is green, it is always a good practice to use the TDS meter to measure the water quality each time the water is filtered through the DI system. A green indicator ligh and TDS reading of .000 ensures the water you will be using will provide the highest quality Spectra Chrome finish.
