1st Stage - Polypropylene Wrap
The polypropylene wrap surrounds the carbon cartridge and filters out larger microorganisms, sediment, rust, scale particles and other impurities. It also protects the carbon block from contamination by human hands when changing.
2nd Stage - Adsorption via Activated Carbon Powder
Organic activated carbon powder removes chlorine, chlorine by-products (VOC, THM, HAAS, etc.), unwanted tastes and odors, pesticides, herbicides, hazardous PFAS chemicals and over 80 other contaminants. It also reduces the concentration of heavy metals such as lead, copper, mercury and many more.
3rd Stage - Micro-filtration via Compressed Activated Carbon Block
The compressed activated carbon block contains highly compressed carbon powder to prevent the passage of particles larger than 1 to 2 microns. This prevents, for example, all micro-plastics, micro particles dispersed in the water and dangerous bacteria from passing through the filter. It also stops particles resulting from pipe corrosion and bacterial deposits.
Stage 4 - Removal of scale and heavy metals
This is a proprietary solution used within the carbon block to break down minerals to prevent scale build-up and further reduce the passage of heavy metals. The EcoPro filter cartridge reduces scale by 90% in up to 3 months
Stage 5 - Strainer Mesh
Filters hair, sand, dirt and other larger impurities.
