How the Pre-filter and Cartridge in Seagull IV purifier works
How the Seagull IV Water Purifer differs from the rest of the water filters in the market
The Pre-Filter is the 1st step in the Seagull IV purification system.
Has a 10 micron absolute hole size to remove sand, mud and sediments 100%.
This Pre-Filter is washable and you will do it, when the water flow reduces.
The Structured Matrix Cartridge is the key to enjoying 99.99999% purified water.
Stage 1 of 3 removes 99.99999% of all bacteria, cysts, viruses and water-borne parasites.
Some filters will only state their smallest hole size, but not the biggest. The Seagull IV Structured Matrix cartridge has a hole size of 0.1 micron with the maximum hole size of 0.4 micron absolute. Meaning all the beneficial dissolved minerals in the water can pass through.
Stage 2 of the Structured Matrix cartridge removes the dissolved dangerous chemicals in the water, including chlorine, herbicides and pesticides which always contaminate our drinking water source.
If mud can get into our tap water, so can all contaminants. Especially since our water pipes run under roads, farms and industries. After stage 2, the water has no more chemical smell.

How the Structured Matrix purifies your water without chemicals
Friday, February 12, 2010
Why is the Seagull IV Water Purifier Different from every other water filter
Legally- Purifiers must meet EPA Guide Standard Protocol for Microbiological Purifiers against bacteria, cysts, and viruses.
Most filters are intended to remove some taste and odors. Only a small selection of the very best water filters may remove specific protozo, and possibly certain aesthetic contaminants, providing a lesser standard of protection than that of Seagull IV water purification systems.
Seagull IV purifiers remove viruses, bacteria and protozoa, PLUS many organic and inorganic chemical and aesthetic contaminants at the highest "purification" micron level (0.4 microns absolute) to provide great-tasting water, while protecting against water-related disease. (Please see published test results.)
Manufactured in the USA from the finest raw materials, our water purifiers are ecologically and environmentally compatible; they purify naturally without adding chlorine, iodine or other pesticides to the water you drink and use in your foods and beverages.
Seagull IV "Structured MatrixTM" technology is independently certified to USEPA Purification Standards against all three classes of waterborne disease organisms - parasitic cysts, bacteria, and viruses - instantly, without pre/post treatment, without wasting water and without electricity. Outstandingly effective, they also remove chemical and aesthetic contaminants, providing superbly refreshing, spring-like water for a naturally healthy lifestyle.
Other filters that cannot meet these EPA microbiological purifier guidelines, will then have to meet the lower minimum standard guidelines as certified by NSF, UF, WQA. These units cannot be called microbiological purifiers, but water filters.What the Seagull IV water purifier cannot do
1. remove dissolved minerals necessary to good health and good taste.
2. remove salt from sea water, so when travelling you can only pump river water to drink
3. remove flourides that help prevent tooth decay
4. treat sewage or undiluted industrial effluent
5. soften water as minerals that make water hard are essential for taste and health
6. treat ground water that is high is calcium - e.g. in countries like india and philippines.
The best cars are always not the best sellers as people buy what they can afford, not what they want. It's the same with shopping - you see a dress you really like, but come home with a dress that you can afford.

Seagull IV General Ecology replacement filters
15 years ago, General Ecology hit the market and sold over 100,000 units of the Seagull IV. With a 10 year guarantee, I was one of the first few customers to invest in a unit.
Unfortunately the company closed down after just 3 years, and most people could not get the replacement pre filter and cartridge. I did manage to import the replacment parts from USA as this was the best water system I have ever used before.
In 1999, Unicity Malaysia took over the franchise of the General Ecology Seagull IV and started selling it under the brand name of Nature Pure Purifier.
Till today, my Seagull IV is still working so well and still looks brand new. And I've been getting lots of enquiries about the replacement filters and cartridges.
So I just added 2 ebay listings for the Black prefilter and the Structured Matrix Cartridge. Visit my ebay store to pickup these replacement parts for your Seagull IV.

Don't be fooled by misleading advertisements
Banks use computer technology and if you have a pc at home, so do you. But is there a difference between the bank computer, and your computer at home?. Definitely yes.
What about when filters say they use space technology. Would you also use the same unit that is used in space, in your home?. Highly unlikely, don't you think.
So what about the structured matrix technology that is certified by the EPA, and is the only water system approved by the FAA, to install in all passenger aircraft?. It's exactly the same unit used in your home. The only difference being the size - 1, 5, 20 or 50 gallon/minute output.
Nothing else matters, except the EPA and FAA certification for a water system for your home, that is safe to drink - up till the last drop.

What's the absolute or biggest size?
Most water systems only advertise the smallest hole but not the largest one.
Logically, a hole size 0.4 microns is sufficient to trap the smallest water borne cyst with a particle size of 0.5 micron. And a hole size of 0.1 microns is sufficient to trap dissolved chemicals and heavy metals in the water.
Every filter unit will have different hole sizes, so don’t be cheated by units claiming to have a hole size of 0.00001 microns. Not only is it a sales gimmick but also cheats uninformed consumers,
The problem with water in Asia is the high sediment content, due to aging leaking pipes. If mud sediments can get into your piped water supply, so can other contaminants as water pipes cross roads, farms and factories
Nature Pure Pre-Filter that traps sediments has a hole size of 10 microns. This pre-filter is washable and extends the life of the main replaceable cartridge
The Nature Pure Structured Matrix Cartridge, has the smallest hole size of 0.1 micron with the largest being 0.4 microns absolute.
Rated at 1 gallon per minute flow rate ( so much faster than RO & Distillers) and 1,000 gallon lifespan, this cartridge consistently purifies up till the last drop.
So depending on your water usage for drinking, soaking your fruits and vegetables and cooking your rice and soup, this cartridge lasts 2 years on average for a family of 5.
Ask for a Clorox demo today and truly enjoy the best water, the best drinks and the best soups, you and your family will every drink everyday!
