Why is slow filtration more efficient?

Unlike high flow systems, the slow gravity filtration increases the contact time between water and filter media. This contact time improves the adsorption of chemical contaminants by the activated carbon and optimizes particle retention thanks to the microporous ceramic.

🛡️ Microporous ceramic

  • Reduction of bacteria, cysts and fine particles.
  • High precision mechanical filtration.
  • Slow flow promoting constant efficiency.

🌿 High capacity activated carbon

  • Reduction of chlorine and chloramines.
  • Reduction of VOCs.
  • Reduction of pesticides and herbicides.
  • Reduction of pharmaceutical residues.
  • Reduction of many chemical contaminants.
  • Improved taste and odor of water.

Important information

The results presented come from tests carried out by Envirotek Laboratories (USA) according to protocols NSF/ANSI 42 and NSF/ANSI 53. The percentages correspond to the reductions observed in the contaminants tested under the laboratory test conditions. Performance may vary depending on water quality, initial contaminant concentration, filtration rate and normal conditions of use.
