The Spartan Ionizer Shield is not a stand alone product and has been especially designed to be installed before your ionizer - either above of below counter. The Spartan has been created especially for those who demand a higher level of protection in both the quality of their water and in protection of their ionizer. The Spartan overcomes the downsides of traditional Reverse Osmosis systems while giving you great quality and great tasting water. The Spartan Ionizer Shield is a unique and proprietary combination of filtration, softening media and softening technology with 21 to 23 distinct stages (depending if used in hard or soft water areas).
This unique and proprietary system will eliminate virtually all your drinking water concerns while it helps protect your water ionizer by protecting against scale buildup!.

Please Note: The Spartan is designed for use on potable water sources only.

The Spartan Ionizer Shield is a unique and proprietary series of three filtration systems that combine advanced filtration with softening media and advanced technologies. Each system and technology in the Spartan is designed to work with the other systems to help you achieve optimal results. Best of all, this is tailored to your general water quality and unlike traditional Reverse Osmosis systems offers you a great flow rate and no tank pressure to maintain. Plus it is easier to install and does all this without creating a drop of waste water.

Water quality varies greatly from place to place, often within the same city or geographical area. There is no "one size fits all" water product. Any ionizer - or water product - will perform differently and have a different lifespan in soft, average and hard water quality situations. The cleaning systems on all ionizers are designed to clean only the electrodes inside your water cell. Other parts such as hoses and valves are still open to damaging scale buildup in hard water areas. The Spartan helps to protect the parts of your ionizer not cleaned by its on-board cleaning cycle from scale buildup. Best yet, the Spartan is offered in two options that are tailored to meet the needs of your particular water quality situation.

The effective life of the Purification Cartridge is entirely dependent on the qualities found in your source water. Simply put, the more particles in your water, the more quickly the media will expire - just like any filter or media. Because water quality and personal preference varies, timely replacement of this cartridge is up to the individual. We have provided a handy meter (with instructions) to let you decide when it is time to replace your Purification Cartridge. This filter can last from one month (in extreme situations) to one year.

The Spartan's first two filtration systems come in an in-line external-housing. The quick connect fittings make this a snap to install. The third filtration system is tailored to your water quality, and goes right into the filter compartment onboard your ionizer. Lets look at each filter and how many stages, or barriers to contamination, each offers.

Filtration System One in the Spartan offers five separate stages consisting of two media stages and three 1-micron barriers.

Stage 1: We start with a 1-micron barrier.
Stage 2: Then, we add a stage of KDF 85, which addresses concerns for iron, hydrogen sulfides, and manganese contamination. It also helps reduce chlorine and chloramines. This stage also conditions the water in two important ways. It changes the scaling calcium into a non-scaling form that helps protect your ionizer and it optimizes the pH into the range that increases effectiveness of the next media in removing fluoride.
Stage 3: Is a 1-micron barrier.
Stage 4: The fourth stage uses a generous bed of media specially designed to help eliminate fluoride, arsenic, lead and selenium. By using these 2 medias in sequence, we can effectively increase the efficiency of the overall system.
Stage 5: The last stage is another 1-micron barrier.

Filtration System Two in the Spartan offers you nine more stages of protection including four different media each protected by a 1-micron barrier - five in total.

Stages 1 - 3: We start with a 1-micron barrier. The first media is KDF 55 which helps eliminate lead, mercury, nickel, and other dissolved heavy metals in the water. It helps with microorganisms and scale prevention in hard water areas. It also helps reduce chlorine and chloramines. The third stage is another 1-micron barrier.
Stages 4 and 5: Next, we add a media that is specially designed to reduce nitrates and nitrogen. The fifth stage is another 1-micron barrier.
Stages 6 and 7: We now add a stage of Centaur which is an extremely high grade of carbon that is very effective at removing chlorine, chloramines, VOC's, the disinfectant byproducts such as trihalomethanes and also improves water taste and clarity. The seventh stage is another 1-micron barrier.
Stages 8 and 9: The final stage mixes tourmaline and magnetic technology to reduce water tension making it ideal for ionization! The ninth stage is another 1-micron barrier.

Filtration System Three offers you the option to customize your Spartan to your local water quality. Both of these options are simple to install, going right on board your ionizer in the filter compartment.

The Soft Water Filtration option is ideal for use on treated water sources with 0-75mg/l (ppm) of TDS. Unsure if you water is soft or hard? Click Here
In the soft water package we have included the Remin Max Filter to add the beneficial alkaline minerals necessary for use in areas where they are naturally found in low levels.

The Standard / Hard Water System is designed for treated water sources with more than 75mg/l (ppm) of TDS. Unsure if you water is soft or hard? Click Here
This option offers a unique media to further prevent damaging mineral build up in your ionizer. This incredible media is extracted from milk thistle which has documented antioxidant and detoxification benefits. A carbon block further improves and protects your water.
