Watermax Media Guide
Supercharge your WaterMax. Engineered by science, add-on filtration for the WaterMax is fully-customizable and works to target selected contaminants, so you get soft, cleaner water, every time. Every WaterMax is built with Fine Mesh Resin and Bacteriastat. Here’s why:

Fine Mesh Resin
Small, yet mighty, our fine mesh resin works best with a packed bed—this means no wasted space in your softener. Fine mesh resin has an average bead size that is 23% smaller than standard mesh resin. With smaller beads, the ion exchange process happens more quickly. The result is less salt, less water wasted, and less time needed to regenerate compared to standard mesh resin at the same capacity.

Bacteriastat
Listed with the USEPA as a Bacteriastat device and located in the bottom of your WaterMax, it protects your media from bacteria growth. Bacteriastat is an agent that keeps your water softener from developing unsavory smells and odors.

Custom Media Solutions
Because sometimes your water problems aren’t just limited to hard water—customize your WaterMax using add-on filters for your softener, and get the soft, cleaner water you deserve. In addition to the fine mesh resin and bacteriostat, here’s a look at what the WaterMax media can do for you.

Chlorostat (KDF55)
Using a 1:1 combination of high-purity copper-zinc granules and the redox principal, our chlorostat media works to effectively reduce chlorine (chlorostat-KDF55), heavy metals and control micro-organisms from municipal water supplies.

Nitrate Select Resin
Most commonly found in well water due to septic tank leakage and fertilizers, our nitrate select resin uses sodium chloride to regenerate the anion resin. The anion resin reduces nitrates from your supply.

Greensandplus
This pre-filter is placed in front of your softener to pre-treat your water. Using our manganese-dioxide surface of GreensandPlus, our black filter media acts as a catalyst for removing soluble iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from water.
