I.
Scope
The CB Tech WaterBox™ is designed to remove bacteria, viruses, cysts and other
contaminants from natural water sources such as surface waters (lakes, rivers, etc.)
and groundwater. This manual describes how to install filter cartridges, start the
system, monitor and maintain the system and how to shut it down. It is important that
the user is familiar with the entire contents of this manual to ensure that the CB Tech
WaterBox™ is operated safely and properly.
II.
Principle of Operation
The CB Tech WaterBox™ filtration system creates clean drinking water exceeding
potable water standards. The CB Tech Nanomesh™ filters employ a combination of
adsorption and size exclusion to remove microbial pathogens and reduce chemical
contaminants from the input water stream. Water is cleaned as it passes through the
filters; no chemicals, UV light, or heat are necessary.
The CB Tech WaterBox™ has been tested by NSF International and received a letter of
compliance from the United States Public Health Command certifying it has met the
straight requirements of protocol 248. The CB Tech Waterbox removes over 99.9999%
of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses, and 99.9% of cysts. Additionally, the CB Tech
Nanomesh™ filter media used in the CB Tech WaterBox™ has been shown to remove or
reduce a variety of other biological and chemical contaminants (see Appendix A).
The CB Tech Nanomesh™ Stage I filters are specifically designed for removing organic
compounds and suspended solids from source water. When properly monitored and
maintained, they protect the CB Tech Nanomesh™ Stage II filter and extend its
operational life.
