Don’t Let “Invisible Pollutants” Ruin Your Water Safety! ZONE ZMC Balls: A One-Stop Solution to Two Major Water Quality Issues – Residual Chlorine & Heavy Metals

Every time you turn on the faucet, do you assume the water flowing out is clean? In reality, from the water treatment plant to your home, tap water may harbor two “invisible threats” – residual chlorine and heavy metals. During showers, residual chlorine penetrates the skin, causing dryness and itching. Over time, long-term intake of heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and chromium in drinking water silently damages the liver and kidneys. To truly safeguard water safety, choosing the right “core of water purification” – filter media – is more crucial than investing in expensive water purification equipment.  

 

 

I. Do You Really Understand “Water Purification”? Filter Media Holds the Key to Water Quality  

 

Many people think a water purifier only needs “filters,” but they overlook the “soul” inside the filters – water purification filter media. The role of filter media is like a “gatekeeper” for water flow: through physical adsorption, chemical reduction, and other processes, it “traps” or “converts” pollutants in water into harmless substances.  

 

Common types of water purification filter media each have their own focuses:  

- Activated Carbon: Excels at absorbing odors and discoloration, but its ability to remove residual chlorine declines rapidly with use, and it easily breeds bacteria.  

- KDF Metal Filter Media: Removes some heavy metals but has low efficiency in treating pollutants like low-valent arsenic (As³⁺).  

- Ordinary Ceramic Filter Media: Offers high filtration precision but cannot address both residual chlorine and heavy metal issues simultaneously, with relatively single functionality.  

 

Truly high-quality filter media must meet the “three core standards”: high removal efficiency, safe with no leaching, and long service life. In the field of water purification filter media with 23 years of expertise, ZONE has developed an “all-in-one” filter media – ZMC Balls – to tackle these pain points.  

 

 

II. ZONE: 23 Years Focused on Water Purification Filter Media, Guarding Every Drop of Water with Technology  

 

As a veteran enterprise in China’s water purification filter media industry, ZONE has embedded “water quality safety” into its DNA since its establishment in 2002. Today, we operate 3 modern production lines with a monthly capacity of 600 tons, and our 193,680 sq. ft. production base is equipped with an independent R&D laboratory and quality control center. Every product has passed international authoritative certifications including ISO 9001, NSF, FDA, and SGS – meaning our filter media not only meets Chinese standards but also adheres to strict global drinking water safety requirements.  

 

What makes us even prouder is that ZONE’s R&D team is led by a former researcher at the China National Ceramic Research Institute and a winner of the China National Patent Award. Over 23 years, we do not produce “one-size-fits-all filter media”; instead, we customize solutions for customers based on the raw water characteristics of different regions. ZMC Balls, in particular, is our flagship product designed to address the dual pollution issues of “residual chlorine + heavy metals.”  

 

 

III. ZONE ZMC Balls: One Filter Media, Solving Four Major Water Quality Problems  

 

ZONE ZMC Balls are not ordinary ceramic filter media, but multi-functional water purification materials fired through a special process. Their core advantage lies in one-stop treatment of residual chlorine, heavy metals, organic pollutants, and built-in bacteriostatic effects – perfectly meeting the core needs of household shower and drinking water purification.  

 

1. Efficient Chlorine Removal: Say Goodbye to “Post-Shower Skin Tightness”  

Water treatment plants use chlorine for disinfection, leaving “residual chlorine” in tap water. During showers, high temperatures cause residual chlorine to volatilize, entering the human body through the skin and respiratory tract. Over time, this damages the skin barrier, leading to dryness and sensitivity.  

   

ZMC Balls convert residual chlorine in water directly into harmless chloride ions (Cl⁻) through chemical reduction reactions. In third-party flowing water tests, when treating 85L of water containing 1ppm residual chlorine, ZMC Balls achieved a chlorine removal rate of up to 76%, while competing products only reached 22%. Even after treating 510L of water, ZMC Balls still maintained a chlorine removal rate of 21.8% – far exceeding the 6.2% of competitors. This means they provide long-lasting protection for the water quality of every shower.  

 

2. Powerful Heavy Metal Removal: “Locking In” Lead, Cadmium, and Chromium in Filter Media  

Pipe corrosion and industrial wastewater seepage may introduce heavy metals like lead (Pb²⁺), cadmium (Cd²⁺), chromium (Cr⁶⁺), and arsenic (As³⁺) into tap water. These substances are invisible and tasteless, yet accumulate in the body, threatening the nervous and digestive systems.  

 

The special composition of ZMC Balls reacts with heavy metal ions, “reducing” them to insoluble metal elements or precipitates that are firmly adsorbed inside the filter media, with no secondary release. In a 24-hour soaking test for water samples containing 0.43ppm chromium ions, ZMC Balls achieved a removal rate of 97.7% – higher than the 86.5% of competitors – truly blocking heavy metal hazards at the source.  

 

3. Oxidation of Organic Pollutants: Turning “Invisible Toxins” Harmless  

Organic pollutants in water (such as pesticide residues and industrial organics) may cause odors in drinking water, and long-term intake poses potential health risks. During its reaction process, ZMC Balls release oxidizing substances that decompose these organic pollutants into carbon dioxide and water – solving odor issues and eliminating hidden dangers.  

 

4. Built-In Bacteriostatic Effect: Avoiding “Secondary Pollution” of Filter Media  

Traditional filter media (such as activated carbon) easily become “hotbeds” for bacterial growth after prolonged use, leading to secondary pollution. However, ZMC Balls generate potential changes during water treatment, which damage bacterial cell membranes and achieve “dual bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects.” This ensures the filter media itself remains clean for a long time, making the outflowing water safer.  

 

 

IV. Versatile Applications of ZMC Balls: Comprehensive Protection from Showers to Drinking Water  

 

ZONE ZMC Balls are highly adaptable and can be easily integrated into both household and commercial water purification scenarios:  

- Shower/Bath Filters: Remove residual chlorine and heavy metals from bath water, leaving skin non-tight and hair smoother after showers.  

- Water Purifier Kettles: When used with activated carbon, they enhance chlorine and heavy metal removal, extend the service life of activated carbon, and reduce replacement frequency.  

- RO Reverse Osmosis Water Purifiers: Used as pre-treatment filter media to remove residual chlorine and heavy metals in advance, preventing RO membranes from oxidative corrosion, extending membrane service life, and lowering maintenance costs.  

- Commercial Direct Drinking Water Dispensers: Meet the high-volume drinking water needs of offices, schools, and other scenarios, ensuring every cup of water meets safety standards.  

 

 

V. Choosing the Right Filter Media Is the “Water Quality Insurance” for Your Family’s Well-Being  

 

Water safety is never just about “having water purification equipment” – it’s about “using the right filter media.” For 23 years, ZONE has always believed that high-quality filter media maximizes the effectiveness of water purification equipment and ensures every family has access to truly clean water for drinking and daily use.
