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 channelling and reduce filtration quality.
- The novel inlet valve in the Pitcher filter cartridge automatically removes gas bubbles while letting water flow unhindered into the filter cartridge.
- The 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 hasan outer surface area that is at least 20 times larger and, respectively, provides a higher speed of filtration than the granular adsorbent media in the traditional pitcher filter.
- Revolutionary approach to microbiological contamination. The novel silver bactericidal additive and bactericidal activated fibre (patents issued and pending) provide bacteriostatic protection.
- The 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.
- The built-in cartridge change indicator tells you when to change the filter cartridge.
