These treatment systems are fully automatic in their operation and do not require full time supervision of their operation. Additionally, they are forgiving in that they may be operated intermittently, operation quite normal for the small to medium sized water utilities. EPD's Alternative Filtration Technology is very affordable to purchase. It is approximately 84% less expensive than conventional filtration technology. Operating expense of the EPD systems is one tenth of that associated with conventional filtration technology. Our filtration plants are comprised of in stock components that are modular in design, affording ease of on site installation within a matter of days. Many of our customers prefer to purchase our filtration/treatment systems installed in metal containers. These containers serve as mechanical equipment rooms after arrival on the job site.

We would be happy to provide brochures, specifications, drawings and other technical information covering EPD drinking water filters, along with articles covering the drinking water treatment facilities that we have been associated with over the years. Many of these surface water source facilities often see 100+ NTU raw water. Drawings of drinking water filtration systems currently in operation are available for your review upon request.

EPD drinking water filtration systems have been performance proven by independent engineers. These engineers evaluate such filtration systems’ efficiency on regulated particle contaminants, viruses and Giardia lamblia cysts and with respect to other non-regulated particles; i.e., Cryptosporidium parvum occycst. Dependent variables observed in the performance evaluation process were particles in ambient waters that included: turbidity, particle counts, algae, sediment and other microscopic particles. Independent evaluation supports our ability to surpass the performance requirements of US EPA and the State of California using these systems. Copies of the performance evaluation study are available upon request.

Additional performance evaluation comes from systems currently in operation around the country. Typically the systems will generate effluent water quality below the 0.1 NTU range.
