Aquacristal water filtration technology:

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.

a) Activated carbon:

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.

b) KDF 55:

Granular material composed of an alloy of copper and ultra pure zinc. It can, through a powerful redox process, remove up to 99% of chlorine, dissolved lead, mercury, nickel, chromium and other heavy metals that may be present in tap water. The copper it contains helps fight bacterial proliferation.
It is 100% recyclable, contains no chemical additives and meets the rigorous standards of NSF61 certification.

c) Quartz sand:

Quartz sand is an abundant mineral element on our planet. It is in the form of crystals of silica and oxygen (SiO2). Its porosity allows it to let water flow while allowing mechanical filtration of impurities in suspension. This property is also used in nature to filter groundwater. The quartz sand is located at the end of the cartridge in order to filter the water from its last impurities.

d) Micropore bioceramic:

Micro-porous bio-ceramic beads are made with a mixture of clays fired at temperatures up to 1 ° C. This process results in a porous surface (300 pores / in320) and constant far infrared radiation. In addition to adsorbing residues of chemical and organic products potentially present in water, active bio-ceramics would have the property of reducing the water molecule in order to soften and revitalize it. Far infrared can help reduce the surface tension of water and allow for maximum hydration.
They can also stimulate blood circulation, detoxification processes and prevent oxidation.
