CARBONIT - world class water filter

Date: January 19, 2024 08:00

In the industry activated carbon block filters have their firm place in the water treatment and water treatment. CARBONIT water filters are used in the food industry, pharmaceutical production and medical technology. Last but not least, the great success is due to its use in private households. The performance of the CARBONIT water filter is TÜV-tested and has been tested and proven by several institutes. In this article, you can get an overview of the performance based on the NFP Premium water filter.

Sintered instead of extruded

The natural product activated carbon is sintered by a unique and internationally patented process. As a result, the filters of CARBONIT differ from cheap imported products, which are usually produced inexpensively by the extrusion process. This has the consequence that the filtration performance decreases sharply and also the ability to bind pollutants such as heavy metals or pesticides suffers.

CARBONIT filters are characterized by an extremely high degree of safety. This applies to all filter types. To mention are the most important filter types NFP Premium, EM Premium, IFP Puro, EM Puro, IFP KDF etc ...
All processed raw materials are residue-controlled and LGA monitored. They comply with strict European standards. The used, complex technology ensures outstanding performance. CARBONIT water filters combine an exceptionally high filter fineness of up to 0.45 μm coupled with the extremely high adsorption effect of the activated carbon.

Filtering performance of the CARBONIT filter

Our tap water can contain many unwanted substances. The CARBONIT Monoblock water filters extract heavy metals such as copper and lead, chlorine, drug residues, pesticides, microorganisms, undissolved lime and rust particles and many other substances.

The performance of the CARBONIT water filter is TÜV-approved and has been verified by several institutes. The following table shows the performance of the CARBONIT standard filter "NFP Premium". Where "standard" here is not synonymous with "simple".

As Table 1 shows, there are a number of studies by renowned institutes demonstrating their effectiveness. With a CARBONIT filter a chemical-free removal of unwanted substances is ensured, since there are no additives of silver or other chemical disinfectants.

The good news is that important dissolved minerals in the filtered water are retained for the nutrition and taste of the water.

Why are there different filters from CARBONIT?

Sometimes there are just special requirements. So higher throughputs (IFP Puro, EM Puro) are desired or there are extreme heavy metal problems (IFP KDF) to solve.
Virus safety in combination with very high throughput performance can be guaranteed by the IFP Puro and the EM Puro. This results from the combination of a sintered activated carbon block and an ultrafine membrane, which is inserted into the activated carbon block.
If one wishes a fine energetic appreciation and a recognizable taste improvement of the water for many people, then one grasps best to the EM Premium 5 or the EM Puro.

Conclusion

CARBONIT activated carbon block filters are the world's best in terms of filtration capacity. A CARBONIT water filter makes it possible to secure fresh and clean water at virtually any extraction point. The water filters are manufactured in Germany under strict quality regulations. This secures jobs and optimizes the environmental balance.

Waterfilter cartridge EM Premium 5 by CARBONIT®

CARBONIT® filter cartridges combine water filtration and improved taste of the water. For the production, a special EM-ceramic is added to the activated carbon in the process of sintering. Among other things, this ceramic causes a reduction in the surface tension of the water and the reduction of cluster structures. Thus, the taste of the water is described by most people as softer or rounder. Together with the proven filter performance of the CARBONIT® NFP Premium filter technology, the result is an ideal water filtration. Activated carbon has a large surface, which is used as an adsorbent, for example in chemistry, medicine and water- and wastewater treatment. The sintered activated carbon block filter based on coconut focusses the chemical-physical removal of unwanted ingredients in drinking water e.g. caused by the influences of the house installation. Service life: The filter cartridge must be replaced after 6 months (according to DIN 1988). Basically, within the 6 months 10,000 liters of water may be filtered. An earlier change may, however, be necessary if the water flow is noticeably reduced. An early change is not a defect of the filter used, but an indication of increased occurrence of fine particles in unfiltered water. Technical specifications:Filter fineness: approx. 0.45 µmTemperature: Use only with cold water, protect against frostFlow: approx. 2 liters per minute This EM Premium 5 filter cartridge fits to all our table-top filter units, the under-table filter units of the Pure series as well as to the Vario HP from Carbonit.

With the AA Inline filter system, you can change filter cartridges in seconds. Simply remove the filter cartridge by turning it counterclockwise and insert a new filter cartridge the other way around. Done. You no longer need a housing key. Since you do not come into contact with the inside of the filter cartridge, the replacement is very hygienic. Description of the EM Premium 5 Inline filter This filter cartridge was manufactured by CARBONIT® based on the NFP Premium exclusively for Prime Inventions. Due to the mechanical filter fineness of < 0.45 ?m, it has a high chemical-physical adsorption capacity against chemical substances. Bacteria, micro- or nanoplastics, heavy metals, pesticides and hormones can be filtered. The filter cartridges produced by CARBONIT® combine water filtration and a taste improvement of the water. For the production, a special EM ceramic is added to the activated carbon filter during the process of sintering. This ceramic causes, among other things, a reduction of the surface tension of the water and the reduction of the cluster structures. As a result, the taste of the water is described by most people as softer or rounder. The filter cartridges are ideal for retaining potential pollutants in drinking water systems. Pollutants of anthropogenic origin, which could accumulate in the organism, are reliably removed and stored. The activated carbon filter block has a standard thin wall for liquid treatment at low line pressure. Connections (standard connection set is included) The included faucet adapter has a 3/8" standard thread and thus fits most of the offered faucets. An adaptation to other threads e.g. UNS 7/16-24 is of course optionally possible.
