Criteria for a modern water filter system

Aspect 1: Unique technology for a perfect drinking water solution

The extensive occurrence of varied toxic heavy metals and chemicals in the drinking water, as well in the tap water and as in the bottled water, makes clear that an absolutely new, effective water filter technology is very important for the preservation of the health. Our water filter systems offer a unique technology for a perfect drinking water solution. The KDF filter, equipped with an US patent, uses highly pure copper and zinc granulate materials that allows a new quantum leap in the drinking water quality. Injurious pollutions are converted within the scope of an electro-chemical reaction (reduction and oxidation processes) into harmless substances. In combination with a carbon filter with granulate material of high-quality coconut palm bowl and special microfilter this high-quality filter technology coming from the USA is able to clean also extreme water soiling with all heavy metals, chemicals and organic materials to more than 99.9%. With it the drinking water is settled nearly completely by all harmful substances and toxic materials and a healthy drinking water with a very good taste is available.

 

 

Aspect 2: Drinking water quality and health precaution

1. Entire elimination of all unhealthy pollutants and poison materials

 

For the production of a healthy drinking water a nearly entire filtration of all pollutants and poison materials is necessary. The high-quality water filter systems create a pollutant filtration up to 99.9%. The patent-protected filter systems are able to eliminate all heavy metals (e.g., copper, lead, mercury, silver), all chemicals (e.g., chlorine, halogens, herbicides, pesticides) and all organic materials (e.g., microorganisms and bacteria). 

 

2. Tap water free from lime problems

 

Filtered drinking water: The water filter technology allows less lime problems to 80%. The health-harmless lime concentration remains furthermore in the water, however, there originate no disagreeable lime depositions. The high purity standard of the water and the high pH factor linked with the soft water create very good conditions which keep the lime carbonic acid concentration in balance and the lime remains dissolvable.

 

Not filtered tap water: Physical lime protective devices guarantee an actual lime protection also for not filtered tap water. An intelligent technology for the change of the lime crystals creates soft water without lime layers also with very high water hardness in all water pipes. The lime components are influenced by electric fields from that point of view that loose molecular structures of lime like a suspended solid let arise no hard crusts in water pipes and surfaces. They create an actual lime protection just for household appliances and for the water pipe system.

 

3. Healthy, basic water with a high pH factor 

 

Every person needs for the preservation of a good health basic water with a high pH factor. However, acid-containing liquids with a low pH factor contribute to illness and physical decay. An electron supply according to the redox reaction converts the pH factor from sour into the basic area. Electrons are a physical form of energy. An electron supply gives energy to the water and turns hard, sour water into soft, basic water suitable for the consumers. With the electron wealth the body is enabled by the energy supply to take up water well and can develop therefore a positive health effect.

 

4. Minerals: Important minerals are preserved 

 

Conventional water filters eliminate injurious substances as well as healthy minerals in the drinking water. Our drinking water technology eliminates noxious heavy metals, leaves however, essential heavy metals, called also trace elements, in the drinking water. Thus water becomes a healthy and refreshing elixir.   

 

 

Aspect 3: Operational safety

 1. Undisturbed operating procedure

 

The high-quality water filter systems guarantee an undisturbed operating procedure. The water filters are highly competitive, sure and have an unequalled high filter final achievement. All duties to the water treatment are integrated in one system. The water filters run without electricity, so that electricity failures show no risk. Conventional big filters are composed to a technical equipment consisting of reverse osmosis sistems for the filtration, ionic exchanger for the decalcification, water tanks for the provisioning of filtered water and other coarse filters for the elimination of coarser particles. With it the interaction of the single devices are clearly more susceptible to sturgeon as our integrated solution.

 

2. Servicing: maintenance-free


Our water filter systems need no servicing during the duration of the maximum filter achievement. According to individual water consumption this means for countertops a maintenance-free life span of 5 to 8 years, for whole house systems a maintenance-free life span of 10 - 15 years or more. An other option are backwash devices: The filter final achievement can be raised up to 50% by back rinse of the whole huose systems 1 - 2 times per year.          

 

3. Assembly: can be easily mounted


The assembly of the water filters is slightly manageable. The countertops become linked by a tube with the tap and alternatively filtered drinking water flows by the water filter or unfiltered tap water into the lavatory. 

 

The whole house systems are connected directly to the water pipe, before the hot-water preparation. A technical adjustment with other devices and their wiring is not necessary. However, we still recommend the installation of whole house filters by an expert. 

 

 

Aspect 4: Economic efficiency

1. Price: good prize relation and achievement relation 

no monthly expenses for spare filters and free of maintenance

b) Mineral water in bottles:

 

Litre of mineral water (at the supermarket): between 30 and 50 cents / litres

c1) Conventional countertops:

 

In comparison to conventional water filters result no monthly costs with our filter systems for exchange filter. A filter cartridge should be exchanged by countertops in each case after 100 litres of filtered water and costs about 5 euros. In comparison to the smallest countertop (type: Mini) with 10,000 litres of final filter achievement result 100 filter cartridges for each 5 euros of cartridge beside the purchase price of the conventional water filter. By a purchase decision one should consider that therefore with a final filter achievement of 10,000 litres of drinking water will follow high costs at the rate of about 500 euros. With a filter achievement of 20,000 litres (type: Blue Nile) you have to pay 1,000 euros, with a filter achievement of 40,000 litres (type: Rio Bravo) even 2,000 euros.

 

Table water filter: Acquisition                         25 euros  (20 - 30 euros)

                             Filter cartridge                    5 euros each 100 litres filtered water

                                                                      (offers: 3 cartridges for 15 euros)

 

                             Total price    with 10.000 l     25 euros + 100x 5 euros =   525 euros    5,25 Cent/ l 

                                                 with 20.000 l     25 euros + 200x 5 euros = 1025 euros    5,12 Cent/ l

                                                 with 45.000 l     25 euros + 450x 5 euros = 2275 euros    5,06 Cent/ l

 

Litre filtered water: > 5 cent/ litre

 

Water-tap filter:  Acquisition       60 euros (50 - 70 euros)

                             Life span        1.000 l (750 l - 1.000 l)

                             Cartridge         add on: filter cartridge

 

 

                      Total price   with 10.000 l     10 filter each 60 euros =   600 euros + replacement filter  

                                        with 20.000 l     20 filter each 60 euros = 1200 euros + replacement filter

                                        with 45.000 l     45 filter each 60 euros = 2700 euros + replacement filter

 

 

Countertops:          Acquisition                            130 euros - 630 euros 

                              Equipment                             only charcoal filter, partly ceramic filter

                              Life span                                a lot shorter

                              Replacement filter                   extra costs: filter cartridges

 

 

c2) conventional undersink filter systems:


                              Acquisition                             300 euros - 2.200 euros 

                              Eqipment                                only charcoal filte, partly inverse osmosis

                              Life span                                 a lot shorter

                              Replacement filter                   extra costs: filter cartridges

 

 

 

c3) Whole house filter: The whole house filters consist mostly of an inverse osmosis device for the drinking water filtering and of an ionic exchanger as a decalcification device. The cost of an inverse osmosis device lies possibly between 4,500€ to 7,000€ and an ionic exchanger (decalcification of the filtered water) once more with 500€ to 6,000€. There the regular costs come for exchange filter, decalcification salts and servicing contracts. With pleasure we provide to you an economic efficiency comparison between your complete inverse osmosis arrangement and our drinking water filter system.

 

2. Energy consumption: no electricity costs and no disposal of dirty water

 

The power and water consumption in a household gets in times of scanty and expensive energy reserves a more and more important meaning. Come along no matter! Our drinking water filters work without electricity and filter the tap water comparatively 1:1 without dirty water. 

 

Conventional countertops run mostly with electricity. However, the power consumption is relatively low. A water loss in the form of dirty water does not appear.

 

Conventional undersink filters run with electricity, some filters are equipped with an inverse osmosis filter. With it result electricity costs, inverse osmosis filter cause costs by the disposal of dirty water. 

 

Conventional whole house filters are equipped mostly with inverse osmosis. The filter device operates 24 hours on a day. The process of the inverse osmosis needs according to the model for 1 litre of filtered drinking water the double up to 10 times more of tap water. A calculation of the additional electricity and water costs of your present device is worthwhile.

 

Aspect 5: Compliance with the drinking water law

Our drinking water filters keep to the strict limit values of the TVO (= drinking water order Germany). Also the national directives of the Spanish health authorities "Sanidad" as well as the international limit values in the European Community are kept. The drinking water filters fulfil the highest demands of "Water Quality Association WQA", "Florida Water Quality Association FWQA", as well as the „Internationally Water association“ in the USA.

 

Aspect 6: Environmental compatibility

In the today's times of widespread environmental pollution the aspect of the environmental compatibility of new technologies will play an important role. Our drinking water filters are an excellent example of the fact that achievement and economic efficiency can stand very well in harmony with the environmental compatibility and health.

 

Five most important contributions to the environment protection: 

- no power consumption, 

- no dirty water, 

- no garbage by monthly disposable exchange cartouches, 

- no phosphate salts for water softening injurious to environment and 

- very good durability and a long product life span.
