Tap Water Filtration Bottle, Black 75cl

Once this Tap Water Filtration Bottle is filled, it absorbs the water through the straw. It works best when it is upright or tilted up to 45 degrees.

One filter last approximately0 2 x months.

Tap Water Filtration Bottle Ingredients: High-quality stainless steel, BPA-free plastic, carbon fibre.

HERE you will find replacement filters.

These Tap Water Filtration Filters purify water from:

• Chlorine, filters 90% or more
• Limescale, reduced by 80%
• Microplastics, filters 99%
• Heavy metals, filters 95%
• Pesticides and herbicides, filters 99%+
• Maintain the minerals
• Other impurities, filters 95%

This is the technology behind these filters.

Study:

This is a study of the efficacy of activated carbon filters in water management. From that study: “A wide range of organic micropollutants (n = 163) representing several compound categories. (Pharmaceuticals, pesticides, per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, flame retardants, phthalates, food additives, drugs and benzos). Which we analysed in water samples from the Göta Älv river (Sweden’s second largest source water). The sampling also included raw water and finished drinking water from seven drinking water treatment plants. Plus a more detailed sampling at one of the treatment plants after six granulated active carbon filters of varying operational ages.

In total, we found 27 organic micropollutants. With individual concentrations ranging from sub ng L^-1 levels to 54 ng L^-1. The impact of human activities along the flow path reflected the increased concentrations downstream of the river. With total concentrations ranging from 65 ng L^-1 at the start of the river to 120 ng L^-1 at the last sampling point. The removal efficiency was significantly (p = 0.014; one-sided t-test) higher in treatment plants that employed granulated active carbon filters (n = 4; average 60%) or artificial infiltration (n = 1; 65%) compared with those that used a more conventional treatment strategy (n = 2; 38%). Also the age of the carbon filters strongly impacted on toxins removal.

A filter with an operational age of 12 months with recent addition of ~10% new material showed an average removal efficiency of 92%, while a 25-month old filter had an average of 76%, and an even lower 34% for a 71-month old filter. The breakthrough in the carbon filters occurred in the order of dissolved organic carbon, per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances and then other organic micropollutants. The addition of fresh granulated active carbon seemed to improve the removal of hydrophobic organic compounds, particularly dissolved organic carbon and per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances.”
