5-stage purification system for cleanest water

Our RO filter will supply you with the purest water possible. Water passes through 5-micron (5µ) and carbon pre-filter traps to remove sediment and chlorine.

The TFC reverse osmosis membrane then separates minerals and impurities from the water and flushes them into the drain. Two more carbon filters remove contaminates and eliminate odors and bad taste.

With a drill, bits and other assorted tools you can install this filter in one or two hours and have pure, clean water at your fingertips.

Five-year warranty (one-year on membrane).
Made in the USA. added on 2008-05-22

World's Most Efficient Electric Refrigerator
Uses 85% less electricity than typical domestic refrigerators
The Sun Frost's energy efficiency is almost unbelievable and it can save you lots of money. Why does it work so efficiently?
1) Top-mounted compressor doesn't allow heat generated by the cooling mechanism to enter the refrigerator.
2) There is no air circulation between the refrigerator and the freezer so the freezer stays colder.
3) Thicker insulation - a total of 3" to 6" on the walls.
4) Passive evaporators and condensers take the place of heat-producing and energy-using fans. As a result, energy usage is around 18KWH/month vs. 110 KWH/month for a typical refrigerator.
Fresher food, easy to use-Higher interior humidity level keeps food fresh longer and prevents freezer burn. Requires no clearance space on the sides or back so it can be used as a built-in unit. It won't heat your kitchen and makes almost no noise.
Reliable-Expect over 15 years of service from a Sun Frost refrigerator. The cooling system has one moving part and the highly efficient compressor only runs about 20% of the time. This means almost no wear and tear and few repairs. Fiberglass lining inside, Formica® covering outside, with tempered glass shelves and Plexiglas door shelves.
Perfect for solar homes-Due to their amazing efficiency, the Sun Frost DC models don't require lots of extra solar panels or drain your batteries like other brands. Just what you need when you're living off the grid.
Many options-Each Sun Frost is custom-built by hand in the USA. White is standard but over 100 other colors and natural wood finishes are available. The Sun Frost is designed to be mounted on a cabinet which you can custom-make to match your kitchen or purchase from Sun Frost - 13"H (pictured) and 24"H available. Choose a refrigerator/freezer, just a refrigerator or just a freezer. Available in 110V and 220V AC or 12V and 24V DC. 2-year warranty.

Note: All models are 34 1/2"W and 27 3/4"D. Require 6" of clearance above and 3 3/4" on hinge side to allow room to open door. Prices do NOT include freight or Sun Frost's crating fee (about $60). California residents add sales tax. added on 2008-05-21

Chest freezer powered by solar, wind, fuel cells, batteries

Save on costs with a highly efficient SunDanzer 8 cu ft DC freezer. The exceptionally low energy consumption means a smaller, less expensive power system is required. This allows for cold food storage in remote areas where it was previously impossible or cost prohibitive.

Stringent quality standards-High quality means reliable service and long life. You can expect both from SunDanzer. In most climates it runs on a single 75W module. A zero-maintenance, brushless, thermostatically controlled DC compressor runs on 12 or 24VDC and has a low voltage disconnect for battery protection. CFC-free refrigerant (R-134a) makes it environmentally friendly.

First class features-The SunDanzer features an automatic control with and adjustable thermostat. Super-insulated cabinet has more than 4¼" (11 cm) of polyurethane insulation that keeps cold air in, heat out and food frozen. Galvanized steel exterior is scratch-resistant. Aluminum interior cleans up spotlessly. The patented low-frost system all but eliminates frost and moisture build-up. Interior light, 2 baskets for organization, and lockable lid.

Use anywhere-SunDanzer is the ideal solution for cold food storage at remote homes that are off-the-grid. Also excellent for use in cabins, on boats, at eco-resorts and by missionaries stationed far from power lines. added on 2008-05-21
