HOT ! Aquaphor Morion Filter Cartridge K1-07

Replacement filter for purifying drinking water with your Aquaphor Morion system.

Carbon Block Technology

Replacement filter for final stage of drinking water purification. Removes all common impurities including chlorine, lead, bacteria and solid particles sized down to 0.8μm. Replaced with housing, which provides additional protection against bacteria.

Is it recommended that this filter is changed annually for optimum performance.

1. What distinguishes AQUAPHOR from other filters?

The main advantage that AQUAPHOR water purifiers have over
their competitors is through the use of AQUALEN chelating
ion-exchange fibers (US patented). Unlike most companies that make and
sell water filters, AQUAPHOR develops and produces all filtration
components specifically with household water purification in mind.
Quality is controlled at every step of production. Thanks to its
proprietary technology, AQUAPHOR creates filtration mixtures that
provide maximally pure water at a maximal speed.

2. Why would AQUAPHOR filters suit me?

The effectiveness of AQUAPHOR filters have been proven over many
years of use on Russian and Eastern European tap water. There is no
doubt that they can handle the significantly less problematic tap water
found in Singapore, Europe, the US, and other countries. If you live an area with
particularly dirty water, AQUAPHOR filters are the perfect solution: they
work better and last longer than other filters.

3. What kind of filtration materials are used in AQUAPHOR water filters?

The main filtration capability of AQUAPHOR filters is enhanced by a specially-made mixture of AQUALEN fibers and high-quality
granulated activated carbon. Thanks to the high absorption rate of the
filtering material and a large effective surface area, water passing
through the filter is rendered free of chlorine, phenols, chlororganic
compounds, petroleum compounds, and pesticides in about 30 seconds.

4. Do AQUAPHOR filters block bacteria?

One of the important qualities of AQUAPHOR water filters is
their bactericidal activity. AQUALEN fiber is impregnated with activated
silver to achieve this end. Laboratory experiments show that the fibers
can block and keep from reproducing 10,000 bacteria per gram of
filtration mixture.

5. Can AQUALEN filter purify water that doesn\'t come from the tap?

If you use a well, artesian water source, or an open-air water
source, it\'s absolutely crucial to reduce the potential pollutants that
can come in from neighboring roads, fields, and farms. AQUAPHOR filters
were developed to clean municipal tap water. Because of that, we cannot
guarantee as high a level of performance when it comes to water from
non-municipal sources. Nonetheless, AQUAPHOR filters will make your
water significantly safer by filtering out organic compounds, heavy
metals, and disease-causing bacteria. Water like this does need to be
boiled before drinking.

6. How long will my filter cartridge last?

The scientific consensus is that a human being needs three
liters of water a day. Your filter will have a lifetime liter rating.
Divide that by three, and you will know how many days your filter will
last one person. Divide by six if your household contains two people,
nine if three, and so on.

7. How can I tell when my filter cartridge is exhausted?

Unfortunately, \"eyeballing\" the filter is impossible, as most
harmful impurities and pollutants have no taste or smell. The only
reliable way to tell when your filter is done is to count in advance how
much water your family uses on average in a day, and then divide the
filter rating by that number. Keep in mind that the rating isn\'t applied
across the board – if you\'re cleaning particularly dirty water, the
filter needs to be changed earlier.

8. Can AQUAPHOR filters release the impurities they accumulated back into the water passing through them?

No. The filtration mixture used in AQUAPHOR filters quickly and
reliably binds water-borne pollutants. In order to release dangerous
substances – heavy metal ions, for example – a filter has to be heated
up to 600 degrees Celcius. This effectively means that impurities
captured by an AQUAPHOR filter cannot be released back into your
drinking water.

9. What happens if hot water is passed through an AQUAPHOR filter?

Nothing bad, though afterwards the filter will need to be
rinsed with cold water for about five minutes. That aside, hot tap water
is not drinkable and is much dirtier than cold water. Passing hot water
through a filter drastically reduces its service life. AQUAPHOR also
makes filters specifically for hot water use, such as AQUAPHOR Viking
with hot water modules.
