The water that comes into our homes may be accompanied by bacteria or parasites, and may be treated with products such as chlorine or other additives, which additionally alter the taste and quality of it.
When water is filtered, the risk of diseases is reduced and unwanted particles are eliminated. Having an equipment that provides us with clean and filtered water is a great opportunity to improve our quality of life and we will achieve a much healthier water.
Filtering water eliminates bacteria and reduces the risk of suffering gastrointestinal disorders. In addition, we eliminate viruses and parasites without using chlorine, which in some cases can also be harmful to our health.
Our line of BLUESHARK® filter holders, filters and hydropneumatic tanks consists of products of excellent quality.
BLUESHARK offers innovative and reliable solutions for water treatment and is a leading brand in the field.
Filter media are materials that allow the passage of raw water through them and retain particulate material, these are selected according to desired physical characteristics, such as specific size, gravity and particle size.
Filtration through a filter bed is a widely used technique for the removal of particles contained in water, its main applications are in drinking water treatment and water purification.
There is a wide variety of water filter media used in filters and softeners.
They are also placed in a fiberglass tank or in a cartridge in order to treat the water passing through them and achieve some objective. Among the main water filter media are zeolite, activated carbon, cationic resin, silica gravel, salt pellets, etc. which we will describe below.
Learn about the characteristics of our filter media and all its advantages.
Hydropneumatic tanks are devices that deliver pressurized water to all the faucets in your home or business, so that you can enjoy drinking quality water.
It is called hydropneumatic because it is an equipment that works based on water and air, it is composed of a tank and a pump, it has no bladder and the air has direct contact with the water and serves as a cushion to exercise or absorb pressure.
This type of tank serves three main functions:
BLUESHARK® hydropneumatic tanks are ideal for irrigation applications, booster systems, shallow jet pumps and centrifugal pump configurations.
Constructed with 100% butyl diaphragm and a complete FDA-approved polypropylene liner assembly that helps keep water in perfect purification condition.

What is a centrifugal pump?
Centrifugal pumps are a type of hydraulic pump that transforms the mechanical energy of an impeller into kinetic or pressure energy of an incompressible fluid.
When to use a centrifugal pump?
Centrifugal pumps are not only used to convey liquids from household objects such as washing machines, they are also used for industries such as the chemical industry, especially in cosmetics, for the manufacture of creams, and in the pharmaceutical industry for the manufacture of syrups.
A centrifugal pump usually complements other hydraulic installations, whether for industrial use, in stores or homes, depending on the type of centrifugal pump we choose; and they are used in different cases to pump water supply and in places where suction lift is not required.
What does ozone disinfection consist of?
Ozone is a gas that is found naturally in the upper layers of the atmosphere and is characterized by its high oxidizing power, which makes it a highly effective and safe solution for disinfection.
Ozone disinfection eliminates pathogens by oxidizing the coverage of viruses, bacteria and fungi and a wide spectrum of microorganisms, which are deactivated.
Once disinfected, ozone decomposes in the same way that occurs naturally in the atmosphere and returns to oxygen, leaving no chemical residue. This characteristic makes it the most environmentally sustainable option.
In this disinfection process, ozone acts as a powerful deodorizer, eliminating the origin of unpleasant odors, and it does not pose any risk to people, since its application always takes place in controlled environments with specially designed equipment.
High standards of cleanliness and strict contamination control are of utmost importance to ensure product manufacturing.
In the production of beverages, filters are important to obtain a better quality.
What benefit does it have:
Filtration largely serves as a process in industrial manufacturing that minimizes contamination of a product by removing impurities and protecting the taste and quality of the food or beverage.
Proper water filtration has proven to be an important asset that can protect machinery and pumps, ensure desired results such as taste and quality in food and beverage applications.
Shelco Filters offers one of the most extensive lines of industrial filters and cartridges distributed and sold worldwide.
In the process of supplying water, various problems with water quality have arisen, one of the most common being caused by sediment.
What are sediments?
Sediments are sand, clay, rust, mud, and other loose soil particles that settle to the bottom of a body of water.
Know the problems that could cause:
Sediment increases the cost of drinking water treatment and can cause odor and taste problems.
Damage to pipes causing scaling.
Blockages in the pipes.
Don't let poor water quality affect your pipes at home.
Meet our line of BLUESHARK® filter holders, it is made up of products of excellent quality.
Housing with standard blue bracket.
The latest engineering technology, constructed from reinforced polypropylene that is pressure tested beyond industry standards.
Prevents sediment such as sand particles, rust, mud, etc., from clogging pipes and showers.
The evolution of standardized parameters indicates that antiscalant is effective in inhibiting scale formation and preventing fouling by colloidal material in reverse osmosis membranes.
Scaling refers to the deposition of particles on a membrane that cause it to become clogged. The blocked surface due to fouling causes a decrease in permeate flux, reducing process efficiency and increasing operating costs.
After an induction period, the plant flow rate decreases rapidly. The duration of this period varies according to the type of scale and the degree of supersaturation of the light soluble salt.
The use of AWC antiscalant can eliminate the need for acid dosing, allow plants to operate at higher recoveries and reduce the frequency of cleanouts.
AWC has developed highly effective inhibitors that are unmatched in the industry for controlling the most challenging fouling.

Water treatment is increasingly necessary due to the scarcity of drinking water and the growing needs of the world's population.
Inadequate treatment of water generated by human activities is one of the main causes of pollution of ground, river and marine waters and of the alteration and degradation of associated ecosystems.
Water treatment consists of various chemical, biological and physical operations aimed at reducing or eliminating pollution. By purifying water, it is possible to ensure that those who drink it or use it for hygienic or culinary purposes will not run any risk of contracting diseases or infections.
The main function of wastewater treatment plants is to disinfect contaminated water in order to preserve the environment and increase the availability of this resource.
At American water solutions we have leading brands in the water treatment industry specialized in Pumps, Filtration, Reverse Osmosis (well water and sea water), Demineralization and Control and Instrumentation to improve water quality.
Ultraviolet light disinfection of water is a unique and rapid method of disinfection without the use of heat or chemicals.
¿Can UV light change the properties of water?
UV light does not chemically alter the structure of the treated fluid, chemical disinfection techniques, which involve handling hazardous substances and reactions that result in unwanted by-products.
Process water makes up a significant portion of water use in commercial and industrial sectors.
An increasing number of industries and user applications have found UV light to be the ideal solution for their water treatment requirements.
Over the years ultraviolet technology has established itself as the preferred method of disinfecting water efficiently and economically.
