NSF International Certifies Zeotech Zeobrite Xtreme

Only company to have filtration media certified by NSF for use in drinking water and recreational water applications.

2010-09-02

ANN ARBOR, MI, September 02, 2010 (Press-News.org) NSF International has certified Zeotech's Zeobrite Xtreme filtration media for use in sand filters in swimming pools and other recreational water facilities and for use in municipal drinking water treatment. Zeotech is the only company to have zeolite filtration media certified by NSF International for use in both drinking water and recreational water applications. Zeolite filtration media combines the physical entrapment of fine particles with filtering of
contaminants to improve water clarity.

Certification to the NSF American National Standards for drinking water distribution
(NSF/ANSI Standard 61) and recreational water treatment products (NSF/ANSI
Standard 50) is required by most U.S. States.

NSF/ANSI Standard 61: Drinking Water System Components -- Health Effects is the
American National Standard for the health effects of materials, components and
products that contact drinking water. The standard verifies that certified products will
not add contaminants to drinking water that are in excess of 1/10 of U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements.

NSF/ANSI Standard 50: Equipment for Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, and Other Recreational
Water Facilities is the American National Standard for water treatment products that
are used in commercial swimming pools, spas and other recreational water facilities
like water parks. The standard contains material safety, pressure loss, media
cleanability and turbidity reduction requirements for products used in water filtration,
circulation and treatment.

Zeolite media must perform as well as or better than sand when used in an NSF/ANSI
Standard 50 certified sand filter to meet the NSF requirements.
"The certification of Zeobrite and Zeobrite Xtreme helps assure operators at drinking water treatment plants and recreational water facilities that the media are free from unwanted contaminants and filter as well as or better than sand," said Dave Purkiss, General Manager for NSF's Water Treatment and Distribution Products program.

"We are excited that our new patent-pending Zeobrite Xtreme and our standard Zeobrite are the only zeolite products to be certified by NSF's Drinking Water Distribution and Recreational Water Certification Programs, adding tremendous credibility to the Zeobrite brand," said Ronnie Coufal, Sr. VP - Marketing for Zeotech Corporation. "The NSF/ANSI 50 Turbidity Reduction Test results for Zeobrite Xtreme also positions the product to rival other types of filter media for
removal capability."
