Crystal Quest Thunder 1000C Ultrafiltration/Reverse Osmosis Under Sink Water Filter

Advanced 12-Stage Purification for Cleaner, Safer Water

High-Performance Under-Sink Water Filtration You Can Trust

The Crystal Quest Thunder 1000C is a premium 12-stage under-sink water filtration system that delivers fresh, clean, and great-tasting water directly from your tap. It combines Ultrafiltration (UF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology in a compact, easy-to-install unit, making it ideal for households, apartments, and office settings.

The Science of Clean Water & Your Health

While municipal water may appear clear, it often contains a wide range of hidden contaminants—lead, chlorine, nitrates, VOCs, parasites, and more. These substances, though often within legal limits, have been linked to long-term health issues such as hormonal disruption, immune compromise, and organ stress. The Crystal Quest Thunder 1000C addresses these risks by filtering water through 12 advanced stages, including a medical-grade UF membrane and ultra-fine RO membrane, targeting even microscopic contaminants. The result: safer, healthier water you can trust for drinking, cooking, and daily use.

Multi-Stage Filtration for Maximum Purity

The Thunder 1000C removes or reduces a broad spectrum of contaminants, including sediment, chlorine, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and harmful chemicals—without compromising flow rate or efficiency.

12-Stage Filtration Process

Stage 1 – 5-Micron Solid Carbon Cartridge

Removes VOCs, pesticides, industrial solvents, and sediment (silt, sand, and dirt).

Stage 2 – 0.020-Micron Ultrafiltration (UF) Membrane

Eliminates bacteria, viruses, parasites, colloids, and organic molecules larger than 0.2 microns.

Stage 3 – One-Micron Pre-Filter Pad

Captures silt, sediment, cysts (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), and rust.

Stage 4 – Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC)

Reduces chlorine, benzene, herbicides, VOCs, and chemical contaminants. Enhances taste and smell.

Stage 5 – Ion Exchange Resin

Reduces heavy metals such as lead, copper, and aluminum. Softens water by lowering hardness.

Stages 6 & 7 – Eagle Redox Alloy® Media

Oxidizes chlorine and removes iron, hydrogen sulfide, mercury, chromium, and other heavy metals. Inhibits bacterial growth.

Stage 8 – One-Micron Filtration Pad

Provides further filtration to remove residual particulates.

Stage 9 – Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane

Filters particles as small as 1/10,000 of a micron. Removes salts, microorganisms, metals, and most inorganic pollutants.

Stages 10 & 12 – One-Micron Filter Pads

Captures fine particles, ensuring final filtration before delivery.

Stage 11 – Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC)

Polishes the water by removing any remaining impurities and enhancing flavor.
