Abstract
The process for creating one or more engineered media for use in a water purification filter is a passive multi-stage multi-media filter for use in water purification. The process for creating one or more engineered media for use in a water purification filter removes harmful contaminants from a water stream including, but not limited to, toxic heavy metals and metalloids, pharmaceutical residues, micro-toxins, endocrine disrupters, chlorinated and other halogenated solvents, fluoride, nitrate, and naturally occurring radioactive contaminants. The process for creating one or more engineered media for use in a water purification filter maintains concentrations of phytochemicals that provide health benefits. Water processed through the process for creating one or more engineered media for use in a water purification filter meets United States, European Union and World Health Organization standards for safe drinking water.
