HOME SALES CONTACTS APPLICATIONS
  Zeolites are a group of volcanic minerals that are hydrated calcium
  potassium sodium aluminosilicates in which water is held in channel
  ways by absorption. The lattices are negatively charged, and they
  loosely hold positively charged cations such as calcium, sodium,
  potassium, and ammonium. Their ability to exchange one cation for
  another is known as their “cation exchange capacity” or CEC. Once
  the ammonium ion is in the lattice, it is not water-soluble. They
  chemically filter out the ammonium.		 USAC CORPORATE
