Aquaphor filter cartridge K7 (activated carbon only) or K7B with patented Aqualen® activated carbon including germ protection barrier through hollow fiber membrane or only sediment filter (K5P)
The Aquaphor K7B high performance water filter is probably the most popular water filter in many expert and user circles.
Whether in the household, at home, on the go, in the caravan or on the boat.
The very high quality, the filter performance, the good taste and the easy handling are very much appreciated.
Because the Aquaphor filter has what other activated carbon filters don't have: AQUALEN®
Here we will show you exactly why, in our opinion, this is the best synergistic water filter on the filter market.
normal activated carbon vs. AQUALEN® activated carbon
What is AQUALEN®?
The AQUALEN filter material, developed and patented in Russia by around 70 researchers and scientists, is characterized by its special synergistic structure and very high filter performance. The very fine activated carbon granules in solid block form interspersed with AQUALEN have a very high absorbency. The activated carbon granules are 4x as fine as in normal activated carbon filters and therefore have a very large contact surface, which is why they can remove pollutants from the water at top speed. In addition, Aquaphor's activated carbon is laced with special fibers that contain, among other things, “anti-heavy metal” chelates and activated silver. These synergistically help to rid the water of heavy metals and germs.
The tap water that flows into the filter must first pass through this solid, fine-pored activated carbon block, which does not give in to the water pressure. Because of this, the water flows through very evenly and there is no channel formation, as with cheap activated carbon filters, which means that the water can be filtered less.
The advantages at a glance:
- Strong structure, strong protection against pollutants
The Aqualen® structure filters the water evenly
- Strong structure, strong protection against pollutants
- no water channel formation in the filter cartridge
Patented activated carbon Aqualen® doesn't back down
- no water channel formation in the filter cartridge
- long stamina
According to the manufacturer, the Aquaphor filter filters up to 5000 liters
- long stamina
- Strong combination of filtering mechanisms
No other filter has this combined power
- Strong combination of filtering mechanisms

The most effective remedy against heavy metals in tap water
AQUALEN® is extremely effective in capturing and removing heavy metals in water. Heavy metals have an 800 times greater affinity with the complex chelated ion exchangers in AQUALEN than calcium and magnesium in conventional filters.
This means AQUALEN detects and absorbs heavy metals at every level of water hardness. The amount of compounds in the ion exchangers in AQUALEN is approximately 10x greater than the same amount present in conventional exchangers.
The chelates contained in AQUALEN are very effective against heavy metals because they bind to them molecularly and do not let them go. This means that Aquaphor's AQUALEN is probably one of the most effective remedies against heavy metals in drinking water.
Double protection against germs and bacteria in the water

Activated silver in the Aquaphor filter kills germs
The activated silver particles in ionized form contained in AQUALEN are a strong antibacterial agent, as silver is known to be a germ killer. The activated silver is also much more effective. It is woven directly into Aquaphor's activated carbon, which is why bacteria and germs have no basis for life and are immediately killed when they come into contact with this silver.
This means that the classic risk of contamination in this filter is virtually impossible.
Note: According to the manufacturer, the silver does not come out of the filter.
The germ protection barrier through hollow fiber membrane
But even more important is the final germ barrier against germs and bacteria. Because it keeps 99,9999% of all bacteria away. Because of your size, you simply won't fit through these capillary-like Hollow fiber membrane, which has a size of 0,1 µm (see picture).
Hassle-free filter changes with the Quickchange system
Hygienic filter change
The integrated plug-in/plug-out system makes changing the filter particularly easy. These water filters from Aquaphor consist of a filter head and a filter cartridge.
They offer the highest level of hygienic safety. When the filter medium is changed, the filter housing is also automatically replaced, as both form a unit. There is no need to clean or disinfect the inside of the housing, as with classic systems. Germs cannot get inside the system while the filter is being changed.
The user no longer comes into contact with the used or new filter medium. This represents a significant advantage for hygiene. You can Aquaphor filter cartridge head received here. This is required to use the cartridges. Changing a Quickchange cartridge only takes a few seconds.
Summary – the strongest synergy in a water filter
The Aquaphor water filter with AQUALEN and hollow fiber membrane has the strongest known synergetic effect of a single filter cartridge.
If you find a better single filter cartridge with even more performance online, let us know and we'll give you €100 for free. We have already tried it and researched it for a long time, so you may be able to save yourself the time and take advantage of it, as you will soon have the opportunity to have this high-performance filter installed in your home and to take advantage of all the advantages and thus on the on the safe side when it comes to your drinking water.
Alternatively, you can also strengthen this filter if you combine it with other Aquaphor products.
A 2-4x series connection is also possible with an Aquaphor filter K107 as a pre-filter. This will increase your effectiveness even further and you can be completely safe with almost the same annual costs. Because you get it Aquaphor filter K107 for less than half the price and you can, for example, only change the K107B filter once a year, while changing the K1 twice a year. Some customers use this option at their own risk, as according to the DIN standard in Germany, filters should generally be changed after 107 months at the latest.
Our advice:
The Aquaphor double filter set consisting of the filters K107+K107B.
You can also use the Aquaphor water filter as a pre-filter for your water ionizer. This gives you strong additional protection.

Hello dear Yasin
Hope everything is well with you.
As I said before, for now I am very happy with the water filter and use it at least until the filter is done….
...Love Rani
