Aquaphor Crystal ECO replacement filters

What it filters
Removes: 99.99% of bacteria, animalcule, zooplankton and blue-green algae. Filters out remains of pharmaceuticals, sediment, chlorine, heavy metals including lead, copper, mercury, arsenic, organic compounds, pesticides, phenols. Water minerals: is not aimed at softening the hard water, keeps drinking water beneficial mineral balance.

Crystal ECO does not require any specific maintenance but replacing filtering cartridges in time
With Push & Turn technology a child can change the cartridge. To do that close the water before the filter, open the clean water tap to release pressure. Hold the stop button and rotate the cartridge clockwise. Insert the new one to a stop, rotate the cartridge counterclockwise to a click. With Push & Turn technology

Tips
After the installation let the water flow according to the instructions. Note, that if you have very hard water, this filter might be prematurely clogged. Use Crystal ECO H with additional softening cartridge. If you haven't used the water purifier for more than a week, let water run through it for 5 minutes before use. Use freshly filtered water, storage is not recommended.

Aqualen
Aqualen is a unique fibrous material created by Aquaphor. As part of the cartridge, it effectively reduces heavy metals such as copper, lead, iron, mercury and radioactive isotopes. Due to its hydrophilic properties, Aqualen fiber facilitates water flow through the cartridge increasing the efficiency of the purification.

Carbfiber block
CFB is a technology used in production of carbon block cartridges using Aqualen fiber. Cartridges produced using this technology are more effective and durable, even in heavily contaminated water. Unlike traditional carbon blocks, CarbFiber blocks effectively reduce heavy metals in your water.

Hollow fibers
Hollow Fibers are thin polypropylene tubes with tiny holes in their walls, through which only particles smaller than 0.1 micron could pass. This technology is widely used in medical blood cleansing due to reliability of mechanical filtration. In Aquaphor filters HF membranes prevent bacteria and cysts in your drinking water.

Click and turn
Despite the technological complexity, Aquaphor water filters are ergonomic and easy to use. To replace the used cartridges you do not need any special skills or tools. Just push the button and turn the cartridge.

Some of the amazing benefits of activated carbon
Activated carbon is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and thus has a very large surface area. Just one gram of activated carbon typically has a surface area of approximately 500 m2, as determined by nitrogen gas adsorption. Activated carbon is useful in drinking water treatment because it acts as an adsorbent , and effectively removes particles and organics from water. Organics react with many disinfectants, especially chlorine, and cause the formation of disinfection by products (DBP's). DBP's are often carcinogenic and therefore highly undesirable. Organic substances are composed of two basic elements, carbon and hydrogen. Because organic chemicals are often responsible for taste, odour, and colour problems, activated carbon filtration is generally used to improve these parameters. Activated carbon filtration also removes chlorine and other chemicals that can be harmful if present in high quantities. Included in this category are pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), trihalomethanes (THM's are a by-product of chlorine which is widely used in most public drinking water systems for disinfection), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's), industrial solvents (halogenated hydrocarbons), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) and benzene. Radon gas can also be removed from water by activated carbon filtration, but actual removal rates of Radon for different types of activated carbon filtration equipment have not been established.
