How Does the Force Field TM
Filter Work?
WITH FORCE FIELD TM FILTER – even if there is a “hole” or “pore” in the media that would seem big enough to let a virus or particle pass – it does not pass. There is an electropositive + charge to the Triple Clear Force Field TM Filter media that electrically attracts and bonds to viruses and particles. Water molecules have 10 protons and 10 electrons, so as a whole they are neutral and pass freely through the media. Viruses contain DNA or RNA which is negatively charged because of the phosphate ions that make up the chemical backbone. The positive charge of the Force Field TM Filter attracts the viruses’ negative charge and holds them in place in the Triple Clear Force Field TM Filter media. Force Field TM Filter nanofibers are shown at right. With Force Field TM Filter about half the atoms of the fiber are on the surface of the fiber itself. At the atomic level, unique things can occur. Based on the crystaline 1 properties of the mineral pseudoboehmite 2 , AIO(OH) active fibers are 2 nanometers in diameter by 250 nanometers in length. The small size of the AIO(OH) fibers allows Triple Clear technology to operate on the atomic level.
Pseudoboehmite at Crystal Structural Level This image to the right is a representation of the crystal structure of the mineral pseudoboehmite, AIO(OH) - the active ingredient in Force Field TM Filter. The bonds holding the crystal together “relax” when exposed to water. When the bonds relax, some of the electrical energy that was used to hold the mineral structure together will radiate out about 1 micron from the fibers. This positive charge is what adsorbs contaminants having a negative charge as they approach the pores. Force Field TM Filter has been designed so the pores are 1.75 micron in size, thus the entire void volume of the Triple Clear Force Field TM Filter media is energized by the charge generated.
1 Crystalline: In a crystal the atoms are arranged in a regular periodic manner. 2 Pseudoboehmite is an aluminum oxide hydroxide compound with chemical composition AIO(OH).
