FAQs

The original Aquaspace Compound, which is in all our filtration products, is based on information provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.  In fact, NASA was so impressed with our development and adaptation of their original research, they asked us to testify before the U.S. Congress as an example of the successful transfer of NASA research to commercial applications. The name AQUASPACE, pays homage to our NASA roots. We adapted the technology used to filter water in space for astronauts to filter water on earth for people. Hence “AQUA” meaning water and SPACE from the technology we adapted from NASA.

Reverse osmosis and Distillation often strip the water of all it’s vital minerals like calcium, magnesium, etc. which are essential for humans AND can lower the pH value of the water (making it more acidic). AQUASPACE technology while filtering out all the unwanted organic and inorganic chemicals, leaves in the essential minerals and doesn’t lower the pH value. Our filters are designed to allow these minerals to pass through the filter without removal, allowing our customers to drink not only clean water, but HEALTHY water.

Most water filters or purifiers on the market will only address aesthetic problems with water. Meaning they only “filter” problems associated with color, taste, and odor. While this might make the water look, smell, and taste better, it does nothing for the chemicals on the inside. AQUASPACE not only addresses aesthetic problems like color, taste, and odor, but also filters both organic and inorganic materials that are dangerous to your health.

Water from Reverse Osmosis or Distillation will give you clean water but also more importantly, it will strip the water of all its essential minerals. AQUASPACE is the only product on the market that will both remove unwanted chemicals while NOT removing essential minerals.

Media and Compound are synonyms. It is the material that we manufacture and use inside all our products. All the medias and parts that are used in all our filters are manufactured using FDA food grade/ NSF approved material and are industry standard.

The lifetime of our filters varies depending on the type of media and the amount of media inside. We recommend that the filter should be replaced after so many gallons or so many months for its best efficiency. Once the media has run its course (filtered out the bad chemicals from the water), then it’s time to replace the new one. For example, our most common triple units have three different filter sections:

Aquaspace Compound (AR-100) is rated for 12 months or 1,000 gallons (whichever occurs first)

Fluoride & Heavy Metals Compound (AR-100F) is rated for 6 months

Microbial Reduction Ceramic Filter (AR-900C) is rated for 24 months or 50 cleanings

A good comparison would be the oil in a car. While the oil in a car does not “run out” like gasoline does, it continues to travel through the engine until you have traveled X number of miles or X number of months and it needs replacing. Same with our filter media, which is designed to be replaced at a specific time to ensure optimum quality.
