While not typically a health hazard at low levels, high concentrations of silica—especially colloidal and reactive forms—can cause scaling in pipes, damage filtration systems, and lead to aesthetic issues like glass etching. Traditional removal methods like reverse osmosis or ion exchange are often costly and not fully effective for all silica forms. Crystal Quest® systems using Trapp XT media provide a highly efficient solution for silica removal. Made from 99.99% pure magnesium oxide, Trapp XT beads use advanced adsorption and ion exchange to capture silica, phosphates, ammonia, and heavy metals. This media also naturally raises water pH without chemicals, helping to reduce corrosion and scaling. NSF/WQA certified, Trapp XT offers a safe, chemical-free way to protect your water system and improve overall water quality. SMART Water Filter (optional) Water flows through our SMART special house blend of 2 types of coconut-shell GAC (including Catalytic) with 2 types of Eagle Redox Alloys® (9500 & 6500) & anion exchange resin. This blend effectively reduces & removes heavy metals, chlorine & chloramine, pesticides & herbicides, pharmaceutical by-products & other inorganic substances such as petroleum byproducts. Ceramic and Tourmaline balls to enhance the water and maintain a more alkaline pH. To read about how GAC's work, click here. To read about the ERA® Oxidation/Reduction Process, click here. Water Softener (optional) Water flows through an ion exchange resin and brine water conditioner. Media may increase hardness in the water which is why a water softener is recommended. Water is hard when it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium. You may see staining on your sinks, tubs, showers, and clothing. You may also notice less lather from your shampoos and soaps and even a feeling of film on your skin. All these are symptoms of the need for softened water. Hard water also causes a higher risk of limescale deposits in household water systems. The negative effect of limescale buildup is that pipes are blocked and the efficiency of hot boilers and tanks is reduced. This increases the cost of domestic water heating by about fifteen to twenty percent. Another negative effect of limescale is that it has damaging effects on household machinery, such as laundry machines. Water softening means expanding the lifespan of household machines, and the lifespan of pipelines. It also contributes to the improved working and longer lifespan of solar heating systems, air conditioning units and many other water-based applications. Additional Product Options 12 GPM UV Water Sterilizer: Specifically designed to meet the demanding microorganism control concern. These microorganisms can range from bacteria and viruses to algae and protozoa. A major advantage of UV treatment is that it is capable of disinfecting water faster than chlorine without cumbersome retention tanks and harmful chemicals to your drinking water. Leak Detector Valve: Used to detect a water leak within a water filter system and shuts down the water supply to prevent flooding. Vacuum Breaker: Recommended to be installed inline ahead of water filter systems as a precaution against the rare occurrence of negative pressure (a vacuum) in the water line which can cause damage to the filter tanks and housings. Metered Valve: The systems come standard with a timer valve which runs the backwashing schedule on a set number of days. (For example, every 7 days). The metered valve will run the backwashing based on a set number of gallons. (For example, 3,000 gallons). Oxidation System: Utilizes ozone for efficient water oxidation, improving water quality. Important to Know Pinholes or rust may occur on stainless steel tanks in environments with high humidity, when salt is present or if condensation remains on tank without being routinely wiped down. If your system will be exposed to one of these factors or you are unable to perform the needed maintenance, we recommend a fiberglass tank. ### Specifications Filter Media Volume 1.5 cubic feet 2.0 cubic feet Capacity (gallons) 1,000,000 1,500,000 Service Flow (GPM) 9-11 10-13 Tank Dimensions 10" x 54" 12" x 52" Material Stainless Steel or Fiberglass Stainless Steel or Fiberglass Backwash Automatic Automatic Brine Tank Dimensions* 18" x 33" 18" x 33" Grain Capacity* 48,000 60,000 *When you have a softener selected ### Replacement Media Filtration Media Information TrappXT TrappXT Product Data Sheet ERA 6500 & 9500 ERA 6500 & 9500 Product Data Sheet ERA 6500 & 9500 Safety Data Sheet Replacement Cartridges Product Name SKU Sediment Cartridge (2-7/8"x20") CQE-RC-04015 Carbon Block Filter Cartridge (2-7/8"x20") CQE-RC-04014 ### Whole House Manual Leak Detector Manual Guaranteed Performance
