| CWL Filtration: • Clean, healthy, quality water from every faucet in your home, every day. • Better tasting, chlorine free water in your home. • Healthier for oral intake (drinking) and as importantly, absorption and inhalation (from all other daily uses - washing, bathing, showering, brushing teeth, etc...) • Clean, healthy, quality water - great for drinking, luxury bathing, steam, sauna, shower systems, cooking, and all uses. • Healthier skin, hair and body systems. • Natural water balance. • High grade Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filtration media. • Minimal system maintenance required, 7 to 10 years prior to change out of filtration (GAC) media. • Proprietary Digital Valve Technology with automatic backwash (not a brine) provides years of trouble-free operation. Our most efficient valve yet, uses the power draw of a doorbell and is easy to install and set. • High flow rates to accommodate most any application. • CWL units backwash and self clean. A great appliance for second homes, vacation homes or any residences. Leaving sink filtration units, in-line units and/ or refrigerator filters for periods of time without usage can create problems and, unlike your CWL unit, these other units have no ability to self clean. |
| Whole Home Water Filtration Appliance For Use in Condo/Townhome or Applications with Space Restrictions Model: CWL-1035 LTD Our CWL-1035 packs the same filtration punch of its larger siblings but stands only 44” tall installed. Same great valve, flow rates with only 1 cubic foot of our GAC media for smaller applications and usage. The CWL Series of whole home water filtration appliances is designed to provide quality, filtered water to the entire home, which creates a healthier water environment for you and your family. The granular activated carbon (GAC) high grade filtration media removes chlorine and other volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), improving the taste, clarity and odor of all the water. Water is delivered throughout the home at the flow rate and pressure normally found. The water can be used for all purposes; drinking and cooking, bathing and showering, steam and sauna; for you and your family, pets and plants. The automatic backwash does not allow the filtration media to pack, channel or pool, this prevents any bacterial build-up and provides continued and renewed surface area for filtration. Years before media (not a cartridge) replacement based on usage and conditions. Larger units available based on water conditions, usage and/or line service size. |

| You know water is very important to you! The body is composed of 70-80% water. Water is one of the four main nutrients of the body. A healthy human being can go without food for two weeks but only three days without water. Many vital functions and all chemical reactions in the body take place in the medium of water. Water aids in all bodily processes - assimilation of nutrients, digestion, circulation and elimination. Water lubricates the joints of the body and helps regulate its’ temperature. Drinking sufficient quantities of water helps flush out impurities, discourages bloating and the retention of water, and helps restore moisture to the skin and hair, while discouraging wrinkles and dryness. • You know there are several ways to intake water! • Drinking: Water may be ingested, ie: water, coffee, tea, ice and mixes. • Absorption: Taking a shower exposes you to the equivalent of consuming an additional 1/2 gallon of water each day. After soaking in a bath tub or spa for ten minutes, you may be up to 4 lbs. heavier upon your exit. • Inhalation and absorption: The greatest intake may be your shower, where gases are vaporized. Inhalation exposure was found to be comparable to direct ingestion. Steam and sauna are included. • Without getting paranoid, you know you have concerns with water, as well as, many other things! Chlorine is used almost universally in the treatment of public drinking water because of its toxic effect on harmful bacteria and other waterborne, disease causing organisms. But there is a growing body of scientific evidence that shows chlorine in drinking water may actually pose greater long-term dangers than those for which it was used to eliminate. These effects of chlorine may result from either ingestion or absorption through skin. Scientific studies have linked chlorine and chlorination by-products to cancer of the bladder, liver, stomach, rectum and colon, as well as, heart disease, anemia, high blood pressure, and allergic reactions and skin sensitivities. We know chlorine has issues with protein in our body and that of the skin and hair, just remember the last time you were in a pool. Problems also arise from other chemical compounds. These compounds include, but are not limited to, chemicals associated with various pesticides, herbicides, fuels, dyes, solvents, and industrial and agricultural by-products. Misuse of these materials and/or improper storage and disposal has allowed drinking water supplies to become suspect. Trace elements of these chemicals may be within acceptable limits, however their long-term effects are unknown. Since chlorine, other disinfectants, their by-products, and other chemical compounds are present in our municipal supplies, one might want to remove these substances at the point of entry. • Did you know, there is a product for you! The CWL Series of Whole Filtration Appliances by EWS, Inc. can be installed at your main water supply line and filter all the water entering your home of the chlorine and other volatile organic compounds. Period. Filtration to the whole home is a wonderful experience and of all the great things you put into your new, remodeled or existing home, this is the one device that will be used by every member of the family, everyday. Showering, bathing, steam, sauna or just brushing your teeth is cleaner, tastier and healthier. The harsh elements you eliminate for yourself also protects your fixtures and finishes over the long term from these same chemical compounds. • They laughed back then! Years ago, central heating and air conditioning was an option that has become a standard feature in all homes. Now, heating and air conditioning units have advanced (de-) humidification and filtration devices to improve the air quality in your home. Central vacuuming, Central alarm, Central water. Luxury spa tubs and shower systems are commonplace, yet how luxurious can they be using unfiltered, chlorinated, municipally-treated tap water? CWL/EWS Filtration to the Whole Home is becoming a recognized upgrade; to your home, your lifestyle and your health. • Our commitment to you! EWS, Inc. manufactures and provides a complete line of water filtration, softening and conditioning product from sink to whole home. We provide the information that enables the consumer to choose the right product for their water conditions and their concerns. Sold only through building wholesale supply, kitchen & bath showrooms, and appliance dealers, EWS, Inc. has been pioneering its’ series of whole home filtration appliances for over 20 years to those consumers willing to be informed and not sold. If there are specific water issues or consumer concerns, whole home filtration can be combined with specific sink (point of use) applications for oral intake (drinking) only. For problems associated with hard water, consider the EWS Series - the Environmental Water System, for Filtration to the Whole Home and Physical Conditioning, as an alternative to harsh salt softening. |

Below is a simple reference chart to give some perspective as to GAC’s capabilities with various substances. Some items are heavy metals and inorganics, while others are VOC’s (volatile organic compounds), some of which are man made pollutants. Still other items, such as hardness, are not even considered contaminants. In general, GAC is very economical and a great compliment to municipally-treated water without the disadvantages of more aggressive filtration. GAC is used in all filtration due to its removal capacities. Know your water to select the correct product for you, your family and your home. |

| TT1054 Moderate to large household/greater water usage and/or harder water conditions, 10x54 tank holds 1.5 cu. ft. resin, grain capacity of 48,000 up to 135,000 depending on setting. Digital metered valve and low profile turbine meter assembly meet the highest standards to waste less water, use less salts, create less brine discharge and allow a more even effect of softened water at all times. TT1354-11/2" Large household or light commercial unit with greater water usage and a larger than 1” service line. 13x54 tank holds 2.5 cu. ft. resin, grain capacity of 60,000 up to 148,000 depending on setting, 11/2” valve for larger main line service for greater flow rates. High efficiency metered valve and meter assembly meet the highest standards to waste less water, use less salts, create less brine discharge and allow a more even effect of softened water at all times. WARNING: Legal restrictions may apply to the use of softeners. • Brine Discharge is already restricted on or may be a problem for septic applications and waste water treatment facilities. Contact your local municipal water district or government agency. • Since some states have already restricted softeners to metered valves to prevent excessive brine discharge, EWS, Inc. only provides metered valving in its line of softeners. • Restrictions may also apply to hot-side only, salt-exchange tanks or services, or an outright ban. • Local water dealers and other organizations do not inform consumers of these issues and believe these rules are unenforceable, however the consumer is ultimately responsible. WARNING: Warranty issues with other product(s) may apply to the use of softeners. • Softeners may also provide warranty issues with pools and spas, certain other products and finishes. • Softened water should not be used for drinking, cooking, pets or plants and is usually bypassed or “looped away” from the cold side of the kitchen sink. Reverse Osmosis, which also has its drawbacks, may be sold to remove the salt from the water that the softener put in at the kitchen sink, yet may be misapplied for the local water conditions. If you have any problems with any of the above issues, please see information on the Environmental Water System - whole home filtration and the best alternative to softening. Unit needs to be installed at main water supply, soft water loop, or hot side only. Not a drinking water system. |
