The filter elements contain active carbon and resin and are made of silver impregnated ceramic, which makes them self-sterilizing. These elements therefore do not need to be boiled during use. If the flow rate of the filter elements decreases, you can clean them with a scouring pad. This removes the deposits that have formed on the outside, and the elements regain their original performance.

All water filters are manufactured according to ISO quality standards and are certified by NSF, NAD and WRAS. This guarantees that they meet the strictest international testing standards.
