Filtration Capacity
This model has been crafted with a flow rate of up to 1 gallon per minute. By using it, you will drink water free of trihalomethanes, pharmaceuticals, and sulfur, thus boosting your health and immune system. As it comes with a dual cartridge filtration system, this model can get rid of the bad contaminants from the water, efficiently, in three stages:
- Stage 1 – Micro Sediment Membranes – This step removes all bacteria by trapping even small viruses, into the pores of the membrane. Microfiltration is a vital component of this stage because it completely removes particles as small as 0.001-0.1 µm from the water. Even more, it has to be so efficient to ensure that the entire process will run smoothly.
- Stage 2 – KR-101N, KR-101A or CR-1 – This type of filtration utilizes patented granules by using an oxidation/reduction reaction. This will reduce or remove chlorine, iron, hydrogen sulfide, lead, mercury, calcium carbonate, and many other harmful toxins. It will also extend the system’s lifespan and will reduce heavy metal contamination.
- Stage 3 – Acid Washed Coconut Shell Carbon – This stage will remove various organic and inorganic contaminants, like algae, mold, scale, bad taste, smells, just to name a few. Thanks to the acid from the washed coconut carbon shell, that are NSF certification, microbes cannot develop within the bacteriostatic filter.
This model comes with one set of filter cartridges included, but you can find various options to replace them from the company’s portfolio, which are available for all pocket sizes. The company also encourages utilizing a second cartridge to target specific contaminants such as nitrates, arsenic, and radioactive particles found in tap water.
