All questions in this library

Does the water claim concern PFOA or the broader PFAS family?

The published water sentence names PFOA, and it names it for capture, not for destruction.

The Water page states: “The NanoFlashing™ Water Filter attracts and captures PFOA, and destroys viruses, bacteria and fungal spores.” In its own body it puts the same thing this way: the filter has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge, and it attracts and captures certain PFOAs. Attracting and capturing is what the page claims for that compound. The destruction sentence on the same page is a separate sentence, and it is about viruses, bacteria and fungal spores. The filter is intended to destroy the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores it captures. It destroys them on direct contact with the positive electric charge, by physical means, and only while the organism is captured by the positive electric charge.

The company's technology page carries a different sentence, about what the polarity attracts in general: “NanoFlashing™ is a patented permanent positive polarity (3P) technology that attracts and captures negatively charged pollutants, including PFAS, ultrafine particles, wildfire smoke, and pollen.” The two sentences sit on two pages. The water claim is the Water page's own sentence, and PFOA is the word that page uses. The company makes no claim about removing a fluorinated compound from air.

The Terms of Use state that, as of their effective date, the Water chapter describes a Research Application, and that it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use. The company publishes no result for a compound its testing did not cover, and it does not carry a result across to one.

All questions

Where would a removed water contaminant remain after treatment?

The company publishes no water test that follows a contaminant after treatment.

The company publishes no water test conditions, so it states no effect for that water chemistry.

The Water page states that the NanoFlashing™ Water Filter has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. For PFOA the published claim is capture. The NanoFlashing™ Water Filter attracts and captures PFOA. No hardness, salinity, pH, competing-load or capacity figure is published for a water product.

What the company does state about the property itself, in its Statement of Classification for the air filter, is how the charge is measured: the polarity is a positive electric charge at rest, it is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre, the charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request. The Water chapter describes a Research Application, and it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use.

The NanoFlashing™ Water Filter attracts and captures PFOA. No hardness, salinity, pH, competing-load or capacity figure is published for a water product.

What the company does state about the property itself, in its Statement of Classification for the air filter, is how the charge is measured: the polarity is a positive electric charge at rest, it is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre, the charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request. The Water chapter describes a Research Application, and it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use.

All questions

Does a taste improvement correspond to the contaminants the product claims to address?

The company publishes no taste result, and it names what it does claim.

The Water page states: “The NanoFlashing™ Water Filter attracts and captures PFOA, and destroys viruses, bacteria and fungal spores.” That is the whole of what the page claims a water filter takes on. The filter is intended to destroy the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores it captures. It destroys them on direct contact with the positive electric charge, by physical means, and only while the organism is captured by the positive electric charge. The company does not carry a result across to a target a test did not cover.

The Terms of Use also state that, as of their effective date, the Water chapter describes a Research Application, and that it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use. A materials review that needs more than the company's published pages is arranged in writing, through [email protected] on the Contact page.

All questions

Would clear-looking treated water still require independent safety verification?

A measurement describes what was measured, and it does not stand in for verification of the water a person drinks.

The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found,” and: “A laboratory reduction in a virus, bacterium, fungus, particle, or other endpoint does not establish a clinical benefit, fewer infections, disease prevention or treatment, or improved health.” They also state: “Site Content is general information. It is not medical, clinical, engineering, manufacturing, safety, or other professional advice,” and: “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.”

What a sample shows depends on how it was taken and on what else could have changed it, and those things belong to the record that reports the sample. Water quality at a tap is verified by the party responsible for that supply, under the rules that apply to it. The Water chapter describes a Research Application, and it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use.

All questions

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
