Microbiological Dual Water Filtration System

An excellent alternative to Reverse Osmosis (RO is a more expensive and complex filter system), this highly effective undersink Microbiological drinking water filtration system removes harmful pathogens from drinking water such as E. coli O157, Giardia, C.

Microbiological Filter - Typical Applications

• As a result of several major outbreaks of Cryptosporidium (Crypto) and Giardia in the UK and other places around the world, some people have become concerned about the quality of their drinking water. This under sink Micro filter system is certified by NSF® to significantly reduce Crypto, Giardia and many other potentially harmful pathogens.
• The Microbiological drinking water filtration system will fit under most kitchen sinks. This makes it ideal for use in the home or on commercial premises that require high quality, microbiologically safe, water for drinking and cooking.

Microbiological Filter - Major Benefits

• The Microbiological Filter is supplied with all the relevant parts which means it can be installed by a person with basic DIY skills or a competent plumber. The system is delivered complete with a 5 micron sediment and an NSF® certified micro filter, both of which will need to be replaced every 3 to 6 months dependent on water quality and the amount used.
• Unlike an RO system the higher production flow rate means that the flow is sufficient to feed a separate drinking faucet without the need for additional storage.
• The Microbiological filter system is NSF® approved. The NSF® is an independent, non profit making company that evaluates and certifies water treatment products, plumbing and drinking water taps. This product carries an NSF® Mark which is an assurance that this product has been tested and approved by o the most respected independent certification company in the world.

Microbiological Filter - Most Frequently Asked Questions
Q –Why does the Microbiological filter system have to have its own separate drinking faucet (drinking tap)?
A – The Micro water filter offers a high level of filtration. However, this method will produce relatively low quantities of water at any one time. At a flow rate of around 2 – 3 litres minute, this is a lower flow than is normally required by a standard drinking water tap (approx 14 litres per minute at full flow), which is why a separate tap is needed. This flow rate is perfectly adequate for drinking water or for water used for cooking.

Q – What is the difference between the Microbiological Filter system and Reverse Osmosis. (Drinking tap)?
A – Reverse Osmosis is a very precise filtration process and it can only produce small quantities of water at any one time. A Reverse Osmosis needs its own storage tank which means it takes up more space than the Microbiological Filter system, . Also, unlike RO, the Microbiological filter system does not use rinse water, so it is more economical and more environmentally friendly than an RO.

Q - How often do I have to change the filter cartridges? A – The filter cartridges will have to be changed every 3 to 6 months dependent on the amount of water used and its quality.

Q – How will know that its time to change the filter cartridges?
A - It is good practice to change the filters at least every six months, this is to remove any risk of a microbiological build up occurring inside the filter housings. However, if the water flow slows down significantly, or if the water starts to revert to its unfiltered state (bits appear, or poor taste and odour returns), then its time to change the filter cartridges.
