Question 4: How is the water purified while passing through the Acala water filter?
Acala Stand Filter (Acala Mini and Acala Smart): In the first step, the water flows through a ceramic prefilter. Its pores are so small that dust, rust and small suspended particles are held back and bacteria do not get into the water. Thereafter, the water flows through the activated carbon layer. Activated carbon has a surface that is up to 600 times larger and can filter harmful substances such as heavy metals and nitrates out of the water. These undesirable substances are removed or reduced by ion exchange from the water. Already after this step, many harmful substances are filtered out of the water.
In the next step, the water goes through a layer of zeolite. Zeolite is a catalyst and molecular sieve. 1 gram of zeolite has up to 1,000 square meters of internal surface and can therefore absorb many substances. Zeolite filters, binds and provides the wonderfully fresh taste of the filtered water. Another step is the alkaline bioceramics, which slowly release calcium and magnesium ions and make the water slightly basic. The tourmaline bioceramics is also a catalyst and enhances the energetic properties in the Acala cartridge. The quartz sand simulates the function of the stream in nature and the water gets its natural taste back.
Acala Can Filter (Swing, Wassetto, One, Sunny):The multi-layer filter cartridge physically and chemically cleanses the water, making it more vibrant and tastier. The Acala Quell Wassetto filters out substances such as cadmium, lead, uranium, silver, chlorine, drug residues and hormones from tap water. In the first step, the water flows through a microsponge. This retains dust, rust and small suspended particles and prevents bacteria from entering the water, thus providing effective protection against germs. Then the water flows through the filter cartridge.
The mixture of ion exchanger and high-performance activated carbon filters substances such as heavy metals and nitrates as well as lime out of the water. Already after this step, many harmful substances are filtered out of the water. In the next step, the water passes through a layer of high-performance activated carbon with an iodine retention capacity of 1200. The majority of the unwanted substances are filtered out of the water. The last layer forms the Pi technology. Advanced ingredients such as magnesium and calcium balls, various ceramics with tourmaline, quartz, EM ceramic powder (EM_ effective microorganisms according to Prof. Liga) and a Pi magnet give the water positive properties and the wonderful and soft taste.
