Ceramic water flters uses depth fltration technology. It is an inexpensive and effective fltration technology which relies on the small pore size of ceramic material to separate dirt, debris, bacteria and viruses from water. Only water and smaller contaminants will pass through to the other ¡°clean¡± side of the flter, known as fltrate. Bacteria are prokaryotes (unicellular organisms with no membrane-enclosed nucleus) with simple structures that typically range in size from about 0.5 to 20 micrometers. |
Nano Silver has been used for the treatment of medical ailments for over 100 years due to its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. By incorporating silver into activated carbon, which is known for high surface area, through nanotechnology, we extend the contact time between the media. The maximized surface enables strong antibacterial effect with small amount of silver. [http://www.nanosilver.com.my/nanotech.asp; by Nano Silver Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (NSM)] Disulfde bonds (-S-S-) play an important protective role for bacteria as a reversible switch that turns a protein on or off when bacterial cells are exposed to oxidation reactions. The essential structure of bacteria¡¯s enzyme (protein), seems to be get disconnected by the catalytic function of silver. Silver nanopowder also helps generating reactive oxygen in the air or from the water, which in turn destroy cell/wall membranes of bacteria. It similarly works as most effective but harmful Clorox or Hydrogen peroxide (Strong base) kill bacteria. [http://nano-silver.net/eng/ ; by Nano Silver Polymer & Nano-RG] |
Activated carbon has been widely used in water purifcation because known as miracle flter media by many researchers. Activated Carbon has high adsorption capabilities due to large surface area and porous. This in turn facilitates maximum exposure of contaminants to the flter media. Activated carbon removes contaminants through adsorption. Many remove offensive tastes, odor, color, chlorine and volatile organic chemicals, pesticides and trihalomethanes (a group of suspected carcinogens). [http://www.purewaterabode.com/CrystalQuest.htm#GAC; by Abode Water Filters company] Briefy, activated carbon acts like a sponge, with a large surface area to absorb contaminants in the water. Many scientists believe this is a result of affnity that these chemicals have for carbon because of Van Der Waal forces. Activated carbon is the preferred treatment and method recommended by the EPA to remove a host of potentially hazardous and possibly carcinogenic chemicals in drinking water. [http://www.purewaterabode.com/CrystalQuest.htm#GAC; by Abode Water Filters company] Typical suspended solids particle sizes that can be removed by carbon flter ranges from 0.5 to 50 micron. The effcacy of a carbon flter is also based upon the fow rate regulation. As water is allowed to fow through the flter more slowly, the longer contaminants are exposed to the flter media and thus the more effective is the adsorption process. |
The K+ flter has taken up the role of improving the concentration of dissolved K+ in portable water and there by bringing benefts to our health. Potassium (K+) is an essential macromineral plays an important role in the physiological and biochemical process in our body. Potassium in our body is vital for the following functions: |
Water is the most crucial factor in establishing and maintaining proper acid alkaline balance. Since your body is 70% water, it is extremely important to constantly replenish our body from the fuid loss. When the pH of the body gets out of balance or becomes too acidic, we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders. The cycle of acidity begins primarily as a result of three things: Ingesting acidic food. Eating too much food such as processed sugar, meats, dairy, coffee, alcohol, etc. creates an acid environment in our body. These acids can overload the body¡¯s ability to neutralize them. Creation of acids. Pathogens and microforms create acidifying toxins in the body. As the body becomes more and more acidic, it encourages the proliferation of bacteria, yeasts and other microforms in the body. Since these micro-organisms creates bi-product such as toxin which is acidic in nature. Improper elimination of acids. Not all acids are the same; some are weak and some are strong. Weak acids like citric acid are much easier to neutralize than strong acids like uric acid. The body uses many systems in order to buffer acids including breath, mineral reserves, and fat. When the body¡¯s buffering systems become compromised, excess acids build up. |
This filter improves the qualities of clean water by adding necessary for proper human development and health minerals, such as Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and others readily found in many natural mineral waters. |
