General information about filtering with Aquaphor

The taste of drinking water depends on many factors. The AQUAPHOR® filter cartridge removes pollutants that may be contained in the water. For examples of substances that are largely removed, see below, “Retains lead and phenol” and “other pollutants”.

Hardness builders are also reduced so that the water becomes slightly softer.

When preparing coffee, tea and food, the quality of the drinking water used is particularly important.

The optimal pH value for tea and coffee water is given as around 7.

Filtration should influence the pH value as little as possible.

The combination of activated carbon, AQUALEN® fibers and ion exchange resin [AQUAPHOR filter cartridge A5 with magnesium] reduces the pH value less than with tested comparison products.

Activated carbon granules with AQUALEN® heavy metal ion exchangers (selective)

In the video you can see a conventional filter cartridge as a loose bed (not a composite) of activated carbon and ion exchange resin. The Aquaphor filter has a special structure that results from the additional use of modified AQUALEN® fibers with cation and anion exchangers. This results in a significant increase in filter effectiveness.

There are also the following advantages over normal can filters

Retention of heavy metals using the example: lead ions

Retention phenol: indicator of organic substances

The AQUAPHOR jug filter – the solution

The AQUAPHOR filter cartridge contains an innovative filter medium made of activated carbon with AQUALEN ® and ion exchange resin.

The AQUALEN ® modified fiber additive with silver doping (submicron-sized Ag crystals) prevents germ growth.

Protected by patent law:

Patents of the Russian Federation No. 2162010, 2172720, Patents of the USA No. 6,299,771; 6,514,413.

The combination of activated carbon, AQUALEN® and ion exchange resin reduces the carbonate hardness as well as the reduction of heavy metal ions that can be contained in the water in domestic water pipes due to installation, such as iron, copper, nickel and lead.

Substances that disrupt taste such as chlorine, if present, are also removed.

The high performance is also achieved by avoiding the formation of channels [channel effect].

[Patent CWA N 5.521.008 and Patent P0 N 2070436]

Note:

Since the reduction of the listed substances that can be contained in water depends on many factors, the testing laboratories use standard procedures that may differ from daily practice.

PH value

The combination of activated carbon, AQUALEN® and ion exchange resin also avoids the disadvantage of shifting the pH value into the “strongly” acidic range below pH 6

Operate safely

Please replace the filter cartridge of your jug ​​filter in a timely manner. Depending on the model, there is a calendar on the lid so that you don't forget to replace the filter cartridge in time.

Place the new module into the water purifier funnel so that the arrow on the funnel points to the current month.

For hygiene reasons, the filter should be changed after a maximum of 4 weeks.

Intended use

Commissioning and filter change

Remove the protective film.

Before first use, clean the jug filter [lid, funnel and container] with warm drinking water and a mild detergent. Then rinse with plenty of drinking water.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as these will roughen the surface of the jug filter. Insert the filter cartridge into the funnel until it stops in the round funnel opening, making sure that the current month matches the marking [triangular arrow on the funnel]. Filter and empty the first two jugs of filtered water. This process is used to remove activated carbon dust. Now you can use your jug ​​filter.

Important instructions

When replacing the filter cartridge, clean the jug, the lid and the funnel of the jug filter with warm drinking water and a mild cleaning agent [dishwashing liquid.] Always ensure optimal hygiene when handling the jug filter. It is generally recommended to boil tap water for immunocompromised people and babies.

Use appropriate devices for this. This also applies to filtered water from the jug filter. There may be traces of silver in the filtered water. The WHO has not set a limit for silver in drinking water. The limit values ​​according to German food law are clearly undercut. Pay attention to the expiry date of the filter cartridges. If the expiry date has passed, please dispose of the cartridge in the trash.

Minerade® bubbly ceramics | Mineralization stone for water made from sintered mineral ceramics to increase the pH and ORP value

The Minerade® ceramic stone is stored in a water carafe or in the lower jug ​​of the jug filter and enriches up to 100 liters of water with magnesium ions.

At the same time, it increases the pH value and reduces the redox potential by up to 600 millivolts, which creates the alkaline character and antioxidant abilities of Minerade® water, which are accompanied by a pleasant, soft taste.

Also ideal for water from reverse osmosis systems or distillers.

Simply pour into an almost water carafe and leave for 3 to 12 hours. The longer, the more alkaline and antioxidant the water will be. Enjoy within a maximum of 30 minutes.

Please do not use in closed containers as pressure builds up!
