Alvito Filter insert ABF Primus EM

Physical optimisation of the water using EM ceramics

The ABF Primus EM has all the advantages of the innovative manufacturing technology used for the filter inserts from Alvito. In the ABF Primus EM, a proportion of the activated carbon is replaced by 10 % "EM ceramics" (Effective Microorganisms). The effect of Effective Microorganisms is widely described in the literature and in many field reports, and in our tests we were actually able to detect a difference in flavour compared to the Primus SD. In addition to the actual filtration, this filter insert also offers physical optimisation of the water, as the EM ceramics reduce water clusters and surface tension.

The ABF Primus EM is the right filter insert if additional activation and revitalisation of the filtered water is required and no vitaliser or water swirler is available. The effect can be seen in the fresher and softer flavour. Nevertheless, this filter insert with EM ceramics can be combined well with the Viva water whirler, bringing even higher quality water into your household.

Basically, the Alvito filter inserts with their high activated carbon content offer excellent filter performance, which is achieved by minimising the use of binding agents without having to compromise on filter fineness and retention values compared to other suppliers. The excellent suitability of activated carbon in connection with the production of clean drinking water has been sufficiently proven. Where other manufacturers only use loose granulate in their filter cartridges, the Alvito activated carbon block technology offers two additional benefits: significantly larger contact surfaces of the activated carbon with the water flowing through and the low pore thickness, which presses the water through the line pressure and blocks many particles and suspended matter. With a filter fineness of 0.45 μm, these pores are significantly smaller than a human hair, which has a diameter of around 100 µm in comparison. As a standard filter insert, the ABF Primus EM delivers better water every day for small and large households at a very good price-performance ratio.

Imitation of natural depth filtration in Alvito filter inserts

During the production of Alvito filter inserts in Germany, high-quality activated carbon is specially activated and manufactured into a solid block in a complex sintering process. caked. These block filters have an extraordinarily large number of extremely fine pores and channels through which the water flows during filtration. There is therefore no direct transit of the water through a filter cartridge that only uses activated carbon granulate. The water flows from pore to pore and therefore covers a much greater distance than the size of the block would suggest. The distance and surface area that the water comes into contact with as it flows through is estimated to be up to 100 football pitches. The surface area achieved with just one gram of activated carbon powder is 1,300 square metres. This achieves an effect comparable to natural depth filtration in the smallest of spaces.

Minerals remain in the water

One advantage of these activated carbon block filter systems is that dissolved minerals such as magnesium, calcium and potassium remain in the water and the natural mineral balance is maintained. These minerals remaining in the water can have an extremely positive effect on the flavour of the water, especially in combination with the Viva water swirler. In addition, the quality of the filter inserts means that there is no need to add silver for disinfection. The filter fineness does not allow any bacteria to pass through, and the Duplex filter insert even retains viruses.

This innovative Alvito technology not only achieves outstanding filter performance, but the water flow rate of all four filters is so high that the WaterWhirler Viva can be operated with them.
