Z-Brane™
Electronic Water Treatment System
Spectra Watermakers Inc. introduces a final solution to the problem of Watermachines storage
with the revolutionary Z-BraneT. This technology is designed to change
the way Watermachines are used and maintained forever by eliminating the
need for chemicals to clean and store membranes.
Using the proven
Z-GuardT technology, Spectra now is applying it directly to the watermachine
membrane to prevent scaling and biological fouling, the principle cause
of membrane failure in reverse osmosis systems. Fouling has been labeled
as unavoidable by many sources. The origin of fouling varies and can be
mineral, biological or a combination of both.
Bio-film is the slick coating or slime found on wetted surfaces produced by many
types of microbes. A thin layer of bio-film usually coats the interior
of piping, filters and membranes when exposed to water. This bio-film
provides both habitat and food supply for a range of bacteria and scale
forming compounds. Bio-film is the cause of odors and discoloration in
pre-filters and storage tanks. The Z-BraneT will eliminate conditions
that foster bio-fouling and scaling.
How Z-BraneT Works
As water enters the membrane it is exposed to a powerful electrostatic
field of the electrode charging all water molecules in a positive orientation.
This positive charge prevents particulates from bonding to one another,
preventing the formation of sludge, scale and biological fouling. The
wetted charged surfaces form a strong boundary layer preventing particles
from bonding. Bacteria are rendered inactive and unable to absorb nutrition
to replicate into colonies. With the Z-BraneT you can prevent watermachine membrane fouling and
scaling now and forever.
Convenient
No more hoses, buckets or messy chemicals. The inconvenience of having
to apply storage chemicals to a Watermachine during lay-up periods is
gone forever. Spectra's new environmentally sound technology will
set you free to enjoy cruising and the better things in life rather than
doing time in the bilge worrying about short or long term membrane storage.
Do Not Use Chemicals
Any use of cleaning and storage chemicals will substantially shorten the
usable life of reverse osmosis membranes. Even when your water-machine
is in constant use or idle for periods of time, the Z-BraneT will
not allow bio-growth or scaling to attack your system as it maintains
the overall performance of your watermachine and dramatically increases
the life of the membrane.
100% protection
Spectra's "Keep Alive" backup system will protect the watermachine
even if you have a primary power failure. The Z-BraneT power supply
circuitry will automatically switch to a secondary power source in the
event of a primary failure.
