The Whole House Rainwater System is specifically designed for treating rainwater from domestic water tanks, to provide safe drinking water in the home. This is accomplished without the need for UV technology (and therefore requires no electrical power), due to the QDC Disinfection Cartridge containing activated catalytic beads.
Although water produced is safe for drinking, it is recommended to install an Ultrafilter Undersink unit to improve the taste at the point of use.
The QDC Disinfection Beads described have been independently tested for the reduction of E. coli bacteria and MS2 virus from waters pre-treated for drinking. QDC Beads are not intended for waters that have not first undergone suitable pre-treatment or filtration, nor are they intended for converting raw sewage or wastewater into microbiologically safe drinking water. Recommended use is for rainwater treatment only.
