Advantages of a water filter
Heating water in a
kettle only minimises impurities up to a certain point. A drinking water filter on the tap, such as the Carbonit water filter or the Maunawai water filter, filters pollutants and micro-fine substances, such as medicines and pesticides, out of the water.
Water filters are useful and have many positive properties:
- Efficient filter properties that exceed the legal limits
- Thorough purification, even of impurities such as pesticides, methane, etc.
- Safeguarding water quality after the long journey through pipes
- Reduction in environmental impact compared to purchased water bottles
- Cost-effective alternative to water bottles from the supermarket
- Delicious and refreshing water at all times
- Less effort compared to transporting crates of water
Variants, types and function of a drinking water filter
Various water filters are available for water treatment. The individual models are positioned differently and have these special features:
-Jug filter: Particularly handy, the water seeps through various filters into a jug or pitcher
-Countertop filter: Quick to install, handy and flexible, attaches to the existing tap
-Under-sink filter: Out of sight, installed underneath the sink
-Domestic water filter: Central filter system for all water pipes in the house
-Drinking water filter Tap: Tap with integrated filter
-Travel filter: Practical and compact solution to take with you, screw onto tap (with adapter if necessary)
-Water dispenser: Classic water dispenser with integrated filter
The right filter technology is available for your individual water requirements.
- With an activated carbon filter , the drinking water passes through different layers. Depending on the fineness of the filter, microfine residues are removed from the water. The activated carbon filters out minerals, pesticides etc. and improves the taste and odour of the water at the same time. For maintenance, simply replace the activated carbon filter cartridge. This water filter therefore supplies filtered tap water in a particularly uncomplicated and efficient manner.
- An ion exchanger cleans the water of hard ions, such as limescale, and enriches it with sodium ions. Filter cartridges and permanently installed systems must be replaced or regenerated regularly. This prevents the removed ions from being concentrated in the tap water when the filter is full. The efficient devices are suitable for private households and commercial premises.
- In the membrane process or reverse osmosis process, pumps press the water through a permeable membrane. This process purifies the water particularly efficiently and can also be used in laboratories. The system is energy-intensive and must be flushed regularly. However, neither bacteria nor germs get into your drinking water through the membrane.
Thanks to the wide range of filter systems, you are guaranteed to find the right model to fill your
drinking bottles with clear, tasty water.
Models - from Maunawai water filter to drinking water filter tap to Carbonit water filter
Various renowned manufacturers offer drinking water filters on the market. The companies differ according to these special features:
-Alvito: Durable water filter systems with a high focus on sustainability
-aqua living: Natural treatment with hydrogen
-Carbonit: Outstanding filter effect with activated carbon
-Dahlert: Mobile unit with reverse osmosis system
-Maunawai: Japanese technology for an efficient water system
Cleaning water filters
Cleaning the drinking water filter differs from model to model. While backwashable filters are cleaned by vigorous rinsing, non-backwashable filters must be roughly cleaned and then replaced at regular intervals. For systems with filter units, such as activated carbon filters, it is sufficient to replace the filter cartridge regularly.
FAQAt
what water hardness are water filters recommended?
As a guideline, around 8.3° dH is considered good water hardness in tap water. If your water hardness is higher than this, a drinking water filter is a good choice. You can find out your water hardness from your regional water supplier. Even if the water hardness is good, a water filter is worthwhile to ensure optimum water quality.
How long can filtered water stay in the water filter?
Protect your filtered drinking water from the sun and heat. You can then consume it safely throughout the day.
What substances does the water filter remove from the water?
Whether Maunawai water filter or Carbonit water filter - most systems remove harmful substances, chlorine, organic substances, heavy metals, microorganisms, limescale particles, rust particles and drug residues from your water.
