The Clear Spiral Water Filtration System
You may have noticed something new on our website recently, our Clear Spiral Water Filtration System. After a year of researching various water filtration systems, we decided to release our own. The perfect companion to our additive free formulations. In this post, we break down everything you need to know on our water filtration system. When we were researching water filters, many of them had complex integrations involving plumbing or you needed to wait for gravity to filter the water. We wanted something that was simple to set up, use and maintain whilst providing high quality drinking water. Crafted using high quality stainless steel, our system sits on the countertop next to your kitchen tap where it connects. The system uses two filters, but integrates multiple technologies. Here's all the different filtration technologies we use: Mechanical Purification The most fundamental form of filtration, where the pores in the filter capture and retain any particle larger than 0.05 μm (i.e. bacteria, parasites, graphene oxide, microplastics). Electro-adsorption & Sorption A method for eliminating viruses by taking advantage of the electric charges of the virus proteins to trap them in a filter material with the opposite charges along with physical and chemical attachment of particles. This ensures removal of chloride compounds, biocides and pesticides. Activated Carbon Compressed under very high pressure and heated until it finally hardens into blocks. Removes substances like chlorine, PFAS, BPA and more than 80 other chemical substances. Ion exchange A method by which electric charges in the filter material bind harmful ions such as heavy metals from the water. In combination with the other techniques, radioactive particles such as uranium and cesium- 137 are also captured by the filter. Calcite removal Captures calcite, the mineral that contributes to limescale deposits in pipes and kidney stones, while allowing its less problematic aragonite form to pass through the pores. Bacteriostatic technology In the form of pure silver integrated into the filter matrix, which prevents the growth of bacteria and viruses on the filter. The silver is integrated into the filter material on a microscopic level and cannot dislodge in the water. So what does the filter remove? Integrating multiple technologies into 2 filters allows broad spectrum filtration of many contaminants including: Chlorine (and chlorine derivatives) Disinfectant byproducts (DBPs) Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) Sediment, rust and other debris Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) Pharmaceutical residues Radioactive particles Pesticides and biocide residues Microplastics Heavy metals Graphene oxide Calcite Viruses Parasites Bacteria Where does this filter technology come from? You will be surprised to learn that the primary filter used in our system actually comes from technology developed to clean up the radioactive site of Chernobyl. The technology, known as multi or micro spiral filtration can remove radioactive particles. However, researchers quickly found that it could also filter many of other things, including the list above. By using this powerful technology in our water filter, we can achieve extremely pure water, but still retain many of the naturally occurring minerals. TPS Glass Bottle We have partnered with Flaska to create our own TPS glass water bottle. TPS stands for Technology of Programming Silicon which involves a vibrational programme consisting of various kinds of information from nature that is imprinted into the silicon dioxide (SiO2) in the glass. This helps improve the water structure. Every order of our water fitration system comes with our 0.75L water bottle, the perfect companion to take your new filtered water on the go. Structured water is a term to describe water in a more coherent state. In this state, water molecules align uniquely, creating a more organized and structured lattice-like pattern.Researchers such as Gerald Pollack refer to this state as the ‘4th Phase of Water’. Some of the properties of this water include a higher viscosity, increased density and a negative charge. The ability of structured water to create a negative charge offers a ready source of electrons that could drive numerous biological reactions.
