The technology of the AQUACRISTAL filter cartridge
This filter cartridge AQUACRISTAL is suitable for 1 year of use of the AQUAOVO filter fountain.
Filter cartridge is made of glass, so it is the 1st cartridge on the market to be reusable. The plastic elements have been reduced to a minimum.
Designed to take advantage of knowledge about new adsorbent materials and the timeless role of sand in water purification, the AQUACRISTAL reusable multilayer cartridge contains premium filter elements that have been proven effective in removing chemical pollutants and organic drinking water.
Activated charcoal
Obtained after several operations (pyrolysis and controlled oxidation) which make it more porous, activated carbon has enormous adsorption power. Its adsorption surface corresponds to an area of 1000 m2 per gram of carbon. It is used to fix polluting substances potentially present in water, including certain heavy metals (lead, cadmium and chromium). It is particularly effective in adsorbing hydrophobic organic contaminants.
Thus, carbon can adsorb up to 99% of mineral oils, BTEX, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, certain pesticides and herbicides, residues of certain pharmaceutical products as well as the most common contaminants: organochlorine disinfection by-products resulting from the use of chlorine as a disinfectant.
Charcoal is also excellent for neutralizing the tastes and odors of water, chlorine. Finally, it is certified according to the NSF61 standard.
