AQUAPHOR Pitcher Filters are superior in comparison to all state of the art gravity down flow pitcher filters due to a combination of several major improvements:
- When water contacts adsorbents, for example, granular activated carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and other gases dissolved in water come out in a form of gas bubbles attached to the adsorbing particles. It is a significant hindrance in the traditional pitcher filters, because gas bubbles increase in size, block parts of filtration media, cause water channeling and reduce filtration quality.
- Novel inlet valve in the Pitcher filter cartridge automatically removes gas bubbles while letting water flow unhindered into the filter cartridge.
- AQUAPHOR Pitcher Filter uses a patented mixture of fine mesh granular coconut shell activated carbon, ion-exchange resins and fibrous adsorbents. Adsorbent media in the AQUAPHOR pitcher filter cartridge has at least 20 times larger outer surface area and, respectively, provides higher speed of filtration than the granular adsorbent media in the traditional pitcher filter.
- Revolutionary approach to microbiological contamination. Novel silver bactericidal additive and bactericidal activated fiber (patents issued and pending) provide bacteriostatic protection.
- Novel combination of food grade ion-exchange adsorbents effectively softens hard water. When the same B100-5 cartridges filter soft water, healthy calcium and magnesium ions are not removed.
- Built-in cartridge change indicator tells when to change the filter cartridge.
