Antibacterial water filter cartridge K-07B - Aquaphor

Antibacterial water filter cartridge K-07B - Aquaphor

• Easy to install and replaceable high quality water filter cartridge with hollow-fiber membranes

• High water flow rate during waterfilter life span
   

Hollow-fiber membranes are micro-thin tubules with porous walls. The tubules (fibers) are about 1mm thick. The pores that allow water to flow through the fibers are approx. 0.1 micrometer wide, which is about 600-800 times thinner than a human hair, too small for even the tiniest impurities to pass through.

These are the extra advantages of hollow-fiber membrane filters:

• Filtration of all mechanical impurities (clay, sand, rust) larger than 0.1 micrometer. Removal of these impurities, including colloidal iron particles, produces perfectly clear water. Water that has gone through a hollow-fiber membrane tastes and smells better, but most importantly, is significantly safer for human consumption. Certain small-particle pollutants, for example iron hydroxides, can irritate the epithelial wall of the intestines and bring about a range of digestive dysfunctions. 

• Filtration of microorganisms and bacteria. It's practically impossible to reduce the pore size in conventional filters (polypropylene or carbon-block cartridges) below .7-.8 micrometers. This is not sufficient to reliably filter out harmful bacteria. E. coli, for example, is between .3 x 1 and 1 x 6 micrometers in size, while Staph. aureus has a diameter of .5-1 micrometers.

• Filtration of Giardia cysts. The "cyst" form of Giardia is something like a cocoon, resistant to external factors, including most bactericides. Most household filters have no reliable anti-Giardia capability. The most effective method of removing Giardia cysts from drinking water is mechanical filtration through a hollow-fiber membrane.  

Aquaphor water filters contain AQUALEN – an original material developed in-house and patented by AQUAPHOR. The advantages of using this material for household water purification are so great that it is used in practically all of AQUAPHOR'S filters.
 

AQUALENS provides:

• high speed removal of impurities

• effective removal of heavy metals from water of any hardness

• improved anti-bacterial qualities (due to activated silver)

• no "channeling" effect, so no water bypasses the filter (100% filtration)

The advantages of using AQUALEN fiber:

• AQUALEN is hydrophilic - unlike carbon, it is highly absorbent and can act as a distributing agent for the flow of water. This is particularly useful given the dense structure of the carbon block, and eliminates "dead zones" in the filter that wouldn't otherwise be recruited in the filtration process.

• AQUALEN allows for significantly improved mechanical filtration of sedimentary impurities. AQUALEN's fibers loosen the structure of the carbon fill, allowing mechanical filtration throughout the entire volume of the filter.

• AQUALEN fully filters out heavy metals.
