Sulfur Shield® Systems
Does your water smells like rotten eggs? If so, then it indicated presence of sulfur bacteria and hydrogen sulfide gas in your water.

Our advanced Sulfur Shield System are designed to remove hydrogen sulfide without using any sorts of chemicals. However, if you water contains bacteria and other living contaminants then water treatment chemicals may be required for disinfection.
Sulfur Shield® Systems Benefits
Sulfur Shield System comes with exclusive built-in electronic control valve, designed for ‘air draw’ operation. This helps to create an air pocket inside the filter for increased oxidation of Hydrogen Sulfide to make it more filterable without use of any sort of chemicals.
It uses highly effective catalytic activated carbon, which helps in absorbing the Hydrogen Sulfide from your water. The activated carbon also removes harmful impurities, odor and tastes so that you can enjoy high quality water from every faucet in your home. It uses a chemical free approach to remove hydrogen sulfide when bacteria are not present. However, if bacteria are present then you may need chemicals for disinfection.

Effects of Sulfur in Water
Sulfur gets into our drinking water through the earth, as groundwater and rainwater seep through the earth’s surface. When the water passes from sulfide ores or other minerals, they carry sulfur into underground water which then proceeds to your home or water source. Sulfur is a naturally occurring mineral and water is one of the most powerful dissolvents, the combination of these two mixtures is not good for you to drink. Sulfur can cause some serious health problems like diarrhea, dizziness, nausea and headaches. In addition, it can also cause pipe corrosion and cause taste and odor issues in your water. We have listed some of the scary facts of the sulfur just for you to keep in mind:
