  • Stage 1 - Sediment Filtration (A)
    A 5 to 1µ gradient sediment filter forms the first line of protection against unwanted contaminants. This sacrificial filter protects the rest of the cartridges from premature blockage by removing;

    Dirt - Rust - Sediment - Asbestos - Solids

    Average Lifespan¤: 1,800 litres / 6 months
    (2 cartridges per pack)
 

Twin Pack - Sediment FilterTwin Pack - Sediment Filter
 

  • Stage 2 - Carbon Block (B)
    An activated carbon block cartridge rated at a nominal 1µ is designed to offer primary chemical protection. This cartridge reduces:
     
    Lead - Copper - Bacteria - Cysts - Chlorine - Chloramines - Tri-halomethanes
    Volatile Organics & Chemicals Compounds


    Average Lifespan¤: 3,600 litres / 12 months
  Carbon Block - 1µ
  • Stage 3 - Sub-Micron Ultra-Filtration (C)
    Pr oven hollow fibre, ultra-filter technology offers absolute protection against water borne bacteria and other infectious parasites.  Rated at 0.2µ this ultra-fine cartridge removes any remaining contaminants that are not captured by the 1µ carbon block, including;

    Bacteria - Giardia - Cryptosporidium - Cysts - Colloidal Sediment

    Average Lifespan¤: 3,600 litres / 12 months
  Hollow Fiber Ultra-Filtration 0.2µ
  • Stage 4 - LivingWater® Energiser (D/E)
    The heart of our filter is the unique and semi-permanent LivingWater volcanic mineral water energising cartridge. 

    Available in two models - Premium and Elite - this where water is transformed into one of the best tasting and healthiest water in the world.

  • Stage 5 - Coconut Carbon (D/E)
    The final cartridge is an aesthetic stage designed to polish water after the enhancement. This carbon cartridge is composed of pure organic coconut carbon in a fine granular powder.  As a result it is free from glues, binders and adhesives.

    This cartridge removes any remaining chlorine or chemicals that may have escaped the primary carbon stage and polishes the water in preparation for drinking.

Option - Alkaline Upgrade

The following cartridge set is an upgrade set that allows you to customise the level of water pH.
 

  • Stage 5 - Alkaline Mineral Booster
    In place of a 100% carbon Stage 5 (D/E) we offer a 50/50 stage comprising both fine carbon powder and alkaline boosting minerals. Ceramic minerals are mixed in with the carbon and when in contact with water these ceramics release balanced levels of acid buffering calcium and magnesium into the water, raising its pH by 1.5 to 2.5
     
    This extra mineral boost and pH boost is ideal for people with low mineral or pH content such as rain water or desalinated water.

    Average Lifespan¤: 1,800 litres / 6 months
    (2 per cartridges pack)
