Info: 4 Filter, 7 Stage Water Purification System
The AlkaPlus Freedom-2024 is a point-of-use drinking water system designed for water supplies that are not fluoridated. It features three types of carbon (activated coconut carbon block, catalytic coconut shell carbon block, and powdered activated carbon), producing great-tasting, highly purified water with up to 99.5% removal of chlorine, chloramines, lead, mercury, heavy metals, MTBE, VOCs, giardia, Entamoeba, cryptosporidium, toxoplasma cysts and other contaminants, and its final Ceramic Complex filter also adds additional minerals and increases the filtered water's alkalinity.

Product Notes:
Replacement filters can be bought individually or as part of an Annual Filter Replacement Kit (store code 19764 for this model). For further information, download the AlkaPlus Freedom-2024 Installation Guide [PDF].
The OPUS AlkaPlus Freedom water purification system consists of four advanced filtration components providing seven stages of filtration, with three vertical stages and one horizontally mounted inline filter. This last filter is the 14" Ceramic Complex filter mounted on the top of the system.
Included are two five foot lengths of ¼" LLDPE BPA-free tubing, a brushed nickel ceramic disk designer faucet with a quick connect, a filter wrench, and a John Guest ball valve that is inserted in the water input quick connect located on the left of the system.
Included Components and Specifications:
1. Triple filter wall mountable housing designed to be installed either under a sink or in a basement or lower level (additional tubing required for lower level installations).
2. 10" 5 Micron Coconut Carbon Block Dirt/Rust/Sediment Filter. (Stage 1 & 2)
3. 10" 1 Micron Activated Catalytic Coconut Shell Carbon Block. (Stage 3 & 4)
4. 10" 0.5 Micron MTBE/VOC/Lead/Mercury Powdered Carbon Filter. (Stage 5 & 6)
5. 14" Inline Ceramic Complex Filter. (Stage 7)
6. Quick connects throughout for all 1/4" tubing connections, including the brushed nickel ceramic disk designer faucet.
7. Brushed nickel ceramic disk designer faucet with standard sink installation components, including a John Guest quick connect for easy connection of the blue tubing from the output of the system.
8. Two 5 foot lengths of flexible LLDPE 1/4" BPA-free tubing – one blue, and one red. Red is used to connect to the cold water source and to the John Guest ball valve (shut-off valve) installed in the input of the system on the left side. The blue tubing is connected to the output of the system and to the supplied John Guest quick connect that is screwed onto the bottom of the supplied faucet.
9. John Guest ball valve (blue and white shut-off valve), a convenient shut-off valve that is installed with a short piece of 1/4" tubing on the left side of the filtration system (water input) to make it easy for filter flushing and future filter changes.
10. Filter wrench, to enable easy opening of the filter housings.
ALKAPLUS FREEDOM-2024 FILTRATION UNIT DESCRIPTION:
Stages 1 & 2 – 5 Micron Coconut Carbon Block filter
Installed in left filter housing, this filter removes sediment 5 microns and larger, adsorbs chlorine and a wide variety of contaminants, and improves taste and removes odors. In normal use, this filter should be replaced annually; however, depending on the quantity of water purified and the level of dissolved solids and sediment in your water, you may need to change it more often. Change this filter if water pressure drops to unacceptable levels.
Stages 3 & 4 – Micron Activated Catalytic Coconut Shell Carbon Block
This is the middle, or centre vertical stage of the unit. It adsorbs the chloramines or chlorine your municipality adds to its water supply, while also blocking all particulate matter down to 1 micron.
Stage 5 & 6 – .5 Micron MTBE/VOC/Lead/Mercury Microfilter
This is the right vertical stage of the unit with multiple functions, including:
• trapping any fine carbon particles down to .5 microns that might be emitted from the stage 2 & 3 filter; and,
• removing chlorine, odors, dissolved and particulate lead, mercury (99.5% removal rate for lead and mercury), and cysts, including giardia, cryptosporidium, entamoeba and toxoplasma. A unique feature of this filter is the filtration of MTBE and VOCs – contaminants that very few filtration systems can remove.
Stage 7 – 14" horizontally mounted Ceramic Complex filter
Using 5 types of ceramic balls, this filter adsorbs heavy metals and chlorine, softens hard water, reduces or eliminates bacteria and fungi (antibacterial and anti-fungal properties), adds alkalizing minerals including calcium, and increases the pH (alkalinity).
ANNUAL COST OF OPERATION: $250 PER YEAR (plus taxes)

Warnings:
OPUS recommends all water/plumbing products be installed by professionals. Be sure to flush the filters in the proper order before hooking up and using the whole system, as indicated in the Installation Guide.
Unfortunately, due to their size and weight, OPUS water filters and water systems no longer qualify for free shipping; our Shipping Department will follow-up with a quote before proceeding with the order.
