"Filtersure® is poised to deliver clean water using internationally patented technology..."

The action required to clean up our act is not limited to the United States. It is important to recognize that the threat of major water pollutants is a global crisis. None of us take this problem lightly here, but we are through complaining- it is time for solutions. FilterSure® has secured international patents for this technology, and we are poised to be a global solutions provider. It is time to take responsibility as a people for major water pollutants which now flow freely into our planet's fresh water supply. FilterSure technology is positioned to provide this opportunity.

What are the major water pollutants?

The first are disease-causing agents.

These are bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasitic worms that enter sewage systems and untreated waste

A second category of water pollutants is oxygen-demanding wastes

Wastes that can be decomposed by oxygen-requiring bacteria. When large populations of decomposing bacteria are converting these wastes it can deplete oxygen levels in the water. This causes other organisms in the water, such as fish, to die.

A third class of water pollutants is water-soluble inorganic pollutants

Acids, salts and toxic metals- large quantities of these compounds will make water unfit to drink and will cause the death of aquatic life.

Another class of water pollutants are nutrients

Water-soluble nitrates and phosphates that cause excessive growth of algae and other water plants, which deplete the water's oxygen supply. This kills fish and, when found in drinking water, can kill young children.

Water can also be polluted by a number of organic compounds

Oil, plastics and pesticides, which are harmful to humans and all plants and animals in the water.

A very dangerous category is suspended sediment

It causes depletion in the water's light absorption and the particles spread dangerous compounds such as pesticides through the water.

Finally, water-soluble radioactive compounds can cause cancer, birth defects and genetic damage and are thus very dangerous source of water pollutant

" …Mr. Ronald E. McIlwain has developed, patented and demonstrated on a field scale a new, effective, efficient and easy to operate and maintain water filtration system. This system performs well over a broad range of contaminants, not only the normal suspended solids and naturally occurring organics, but also on chemical, biological and radiological agents…

"...The modular design incorporating multimedia and a novel use of valves to minimize headloss and maximize filtration capacity results in a superior product with accompanying longer filtration runs and thus it is efficacious."
