The AdVantEdge™ line of products from AdEdge Water Technologies is a complete line of water treatment products to remove arsenic from drinking water in individual households. The AdVantEdge residential water treatment product line includes single tap or point-of-use (POU) systems and whole house or point-of-entry (POE) systems.
Each system uses GFO (granular ferric oxide) adsorptive media that has been proven to be the best for removing both arsenic III and arsenic V in several U.S. EPA demonstration sites, third-party comparison tests and thousands of successful residential and community water systems across the country.
AdVantEdge™ Medallion Series POE systems are ideal for whole-house arsenic treatment, with no chemicals, no regeneration, low-maintenance arsenic removal for the entire household. It’s the most economical and effective whole-house treatment available. The adsorption process uses Bayoxide® E33 granular ferric oxide to provide the best arsenic removal performance of any available technology. Medallion Series systems also effectively remove a number of other contaminants.
