Most household filters are based on industrial-scale water purification systems. Unfortunately, scaling down leads to a number of unfavorable compromises: such filters are either less effective at purifying water or need to be replaced often. So, the only way we see to make world best filters is to develop our own technologies, that completely fulfill our consumer's needs. AQUAPHOR designs its products reinventing water purification to bring the most satisfying point-of-use water filtration experience. Because of this specific approach, AQUAPHOR's filtration technologies and filters based on them are the best fit for household water filtration.
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.
In Aquaphor filters we use an effective and safe method of dealing with the propagation of bacteria. Thanks to DFS technology, ions of active silver are securely fixed to fibers of Aqualen, providing protection from microorganisms. Such use of silver meets European safety standards.
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..
Computer simulation technology ICM contributes to the best choice of materials and design for Aquaphor products. During simulation we test the resilence, durability and other characteristics of the filters which are important in terms of use. For example, ICM allowed DWM to achieve a pressure rating five times greater than required (up to 30 atmospheres).
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.
IAM technology allows fine purification of each and every drop of water. Acting like the roots of a tree, Aqualen fibers permeate through the cartridge and bond granules of adsorbents into a dense structure. Water is distributed evenly in the cartridge which contributes to more complete purification. In Aquaphor cartridges, due to IAM there are no loose particles that might contribute to formation of pathways through which water can pass without proper treatment.
Hollow-fiber membranes are micro-thin tubules with porous walls. The tubules (fibers) are about 1mm thick. The pores that allow water to flow through the fibers are approx 0.1 micron, which is about 600-800 times thinner than a human hair, too small for even the tiniest impurities to pass through including microorganisms, bacteria, and giardia cysts
