As Pure As It Gets

Water is filtered with Granular Activated Carbon

WE all have heard it before: environmental incidents and disasters can cause water contamination - resulting in water with high levels of ammonia content and a loathsome foul smell that annoys our senses.

In view of the frequency and severity of such incidents, which may result in detrimental health consequences, we should seriously consider taking additional measures necessary for better-treated water. One simple and cost effective way to curb the problem is to invest in an effective water filtration system that contains Granular Activated Carbon.

Water Filters and Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Activated carbon is one of the best tools, which can be used to reduce health risks and provide an aesthetically pleasing water supply at reasonable cost.

Activated carbon has a natural affinity for organic pollutants like benzene and volatile organic chemicals (VOC), which bind to its surface, in a process call "adsorption".

By steaming activated carbon at 1,8O0~C, it forms little pores and pockets that increases its surface area, Pesticides, chloroform, and other contaminants then slide into the holes of these honeycomb-like carbon surface are trapped, hence rid the water of undesirable contaminants.

Water filters containing Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) helps remove VOC, pesticides and herbicides, trihalomethane compounds, radon, solvents and other man-made chemicals found in tap water.

These organics react with disinfectants, especially chlorine, and cause the formation of disinfection-by-products (DBP), DBP's are often carcinogenic (cancer causing) and therefore produces highly unwanted substances. The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that VOCs are present in one-fifth of municipal water supplies, which enters ground water from a variety of sources.

Because little is known about the additive effects of these chemicals, special attention should be paid to detecting and eliminating VOC sources if two or more chemicals are found in the water.

Sources of VOC contamination should be eliminated if possible. In addition to pollutants like VGCs and DBPs, activated carbon is also effective in removing foul taste, smell, odour and colour of treated water supply.

Water filters with Granulated Activated Carbon can be installed for point-of-use (P.O.U.) treatment at the faucet, or point-of-entry (P.O.E.) treatment where water enters the home, P,O.E, Whole House Water Filter Systems are also recommended for MOO removal to ensure that water used for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and bathing is contamination free.

HomeSeal magnetic screens allow free flow of air into the home and are easy to clean.

Just stick screens on grilles and window frames

MOSQUITOES and pesky insects may pose a threat to our health and wellbeing. It is best to keep them outside our homes. To do this, you can choose from a wide range of insect screens ranging from the conventional aluminium types to the more up-market roller and magnetic screens.

Aesthetics and functionality are key considerations besides pricing.

There are homeowners who would rather put up with noxious smoke from mosquito coils, chemical sprays and closed windows than ruin their home decor with unsightly frames and bulky protrusions of the conventional aluminium screen system.

Roller screens can be troublesome at times, due to the mechanism involved.

The magnetic insect screen on the other hand is a simple contraption that is easy to use and maintain.

It is almost invisible to the eyes when the screen is mounted unobtrusively to the grille or window frame.

This innovative insect screening system was introduced by HomeSeal Marketing ten years ago.

To date, they still specialise in this system with the aim of maintaining market leadership in this segment.

HomeSeal magnetic insect screens make use of magnetic strips - about 12mm wide and 1.5mm thick with adhesives, to stick on grilles and window frames.

A similar strip frames the screen which then allows for a snapback action to ensure a perfect fit. The screen is made of fibreglass mesh that is non-combustible, ultra-violet stabilised and rot and stain proof.

Unlike conventional aluminium screens which are dust and air traps, HomeSeal magnetic screens allow free flow of air into the home and are easy to clean.

Just dislodge the light screen, wipe with a damp cloth or flush with water and then wipe dry and put back into place.

Every screen is tailor-made for windows or doors, with a choice of colours to match your home decor. All gaps will be covered at no extra charge to ensure a complete seal.

Being the pioneer of magnetic insect screen with a ten-year presence, HomeSeal is confident of satisfying customers - quality and service expectations. The five-year warranty they provide should give customers peace of mind.

Each customer will receive a warranty card with instructions on the upkeep of screens and a bottle of screen care solvent to maintain screens in good condition.

Visually Appealing

There are three entrances to the house, this one is through the front garden which takes visitors to the pool directly. Notice the long private wall which shields the house from view, coupled with the cluster of bamboo which adds an oriental ambience to the place.

An L-shaped home built beside a pool

A thick greyish white stone wall blocks the two-and-a-half storey house from view. It is a deliberate move on the part of the architects, to create the wow! Factor later on. Walk past the wall. An abundance of water features and bamboo clusters usher the visitor into the glass foyer area. Here a traditional Thai percussion instrument from Phuket gives a foretaste of what is to come.

An eclectic mix of oriental and tropical design, this home in Damansara Indah Resort Homes is among 64 plots of land in the PJ locality.

The house is four years old. The owner bought the vacant bungalow land and had two architects help him design the place. His brief was simple: bring in lots of light, cross ventilation and give it an ageless dimension.

Combining this request with other more visually visible elements, the wow! Factor hits the visitor the moment he enters the living area.

The living and the adjacent dining area are awash in sunlight from all directions. A series of glass and resak timber windows from floor to ceiling frame the long turquoise pool. And on both sides of the pool, the landscape architect cleverly combined palms and a variety of large greens in varying heights and proportions. All this is against the backdrop of the Seri Selangor golf course.

Airy and cheerily lit, the picturesque atmosphere is evident throughout the ground floor of this home, built in the shape of a letter reversed 'L' with the pool running the entire length of the longer portion of the house.

The living room occupies the shorter stem, while the casual dining area and games room fit snugly

into the longer stem. That afternoon, the children were studying in the dining room. Its folding glass and timber doors open out to the pool is accompanied by an abundance of light and a slight breeze.

"Most of our meals are served here. It is pleasant enough," says the hostess. The games room is just beyond the casual dining area, with a lovely view of the garden and the Seri Selangor golf course.

When entertaining, and they do a lot of this, the centre of activity moves to a more formal dining area, located at the corner of the letter L

With its abundance of windows and doors, the pool and the outdoors are the focal point. "While you use the main entrance into the living area, there is also a garden entrance to the house. Here, the visitors move from the garden to the pool and into the house while a third entrance moves from the car porch direct to the wet kitchen area and into the house. This is more utilitarian," says the owner.

The main entrance via the glass foyer forks at a certain point. While one leads to the main house, a

shorter route takes one to the guest room with a bathroom adjacent to it.

"Sometimes, we also have guests staying in. So we have made the guest room with its own private

garden and bathroom. This gives our guests a lot of privacy. They have access to the house and the

pool but are away from the main structure and the timber glass door open to a private garden which only they would have access."

Three of the family's private rooms are on the first floor. The master bedroom with an attached master lounge and walk-in wardrobe and bathroom occupy about half of the first floor with a balcony opening out to the golf course and garden below.

A sturdy spiral flight of stairs, more of a functional showpiece than a utilitarian one, takes one to the room in the attic. Made of thick resak timber, it resembles a Lego block which spirals upwards.

The atmosphere on the first floor lounge is cosy with its massive hardwood table.

"We imported the table from Indonesia. My husband liked it because the tabletop is one single piece with no joints. To create the same effect, we custom-made a longish-looking day bed to complete the letter L," says the owner.

Most of the furnishings in the house are custom-made. The same goes for the formal glass and timber dining table that seats 12 comfortably. There is a lot of charm in the place, created in part by the custom-made furnishings and lighting.

Specially-made lights in ancient birdcage motifs hang over the formal dining area, each painted in a deliberate distressed finish that succeeds in making them look decades old.

A view of the house from one end of the pool with palms on one side and other ornamental plants on the other side. At the end of the pool is the living area while the games rooms looks out to pool and back garden. The master bedroom is right on top overlooking pool and golf course.
