AQUA Logic - Gravity Blue Mini - C-Ultra - 0,03mcr - Filter Set - (gravity water filter)

The AQUA Logic Gravity Mini filter functions by means of gravity. The water flows slowly from the top Water Container, through the filter, into the bottom Water Container. Thanks to his compact size he is very popular for camping.

Emergency drinking water filter

Our water filters are being used worldwide in emergency and disaster situations where there is a lack of clean and safe drinking water. Disease caused by contaminated water is unfortunately the number 2 cause of death worldwide and even the number 1 cause of death among children up to 5 years old. Often more people die from the disaster after the disaster than from the disaster itself. With your purchase you support the work of the IBOTA Foundation and making this water filter available to those in need.

Taste experience

It is often said that there is no arguing about taste. Many users of this water filter find that the filtered water tastes better. Especially when there is chlorine in the water, this is reduced by the activated carbon and the taste is greatly improved. However, there are also users who find the filtered water less tasty. In the core of this water filter it is intended to provide clean and safe drinking water in emergency situations.

Filter characteristics

It has an flow rate of approximate 6 liters per hour. The flow rate may decrease overtime.

2in1: C-Ultra Filter Element:  

1. Activated carbon cylinder with a pore size of 1 micron.
   The activated carbon consists of 100% organic material (coconut shell) and has a very high adsorption capacity. Activated carbon adsorbs odor, color and taste, metals such as lead, as well as yeasts, chlorine, medicine residue and other chemicals.
    
2. Ultrafiltration membranes with a pore size of 0.03 micron.
   Filters: Pathogenic organisms: Log 6 bacterial reduction: >99.9999% (including Cholera, Shigella, Typhus, Klebsiella Terrigena, Legionella and e. Coli) and Cysts / Protozoa (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium)
   Micro- and Nano plastics from a size of 0.03 microns (300 nanometers)

This single filter is capable of producing safe and clean drinking water of high quality. The filter works without the addition of chemicals and is made up of maintenance-free and corrosion-free parts.

How to use this water filter

Always use the most clean water source that is available and preferably use the filter in a clean environment.

1.    First of all, the recommended replacement date of the water filter must be indicated on the supplied date sticker and must be visibly pasted on the water filter. The recommended period of use (daily usage) is 1 year, after which the filter element must be replaced.

Note: The actual life span of this water filter will depend on the level of contamination in the water source. As long as there is water coming out through the filter, will this water be suitable drinking water because it has been filtered through the ultra-membranes, provided the water filter is used as explained in this user manual.

2.    Before the filter can be used, the filter element must be completely saturated with water. Use the hose piece and syringe to this. (You can choose to first install the filter element as described in point 3 (image A) or hang the filter element in a bucket with water (image B) to saturate the filter element with water.) 

a.    Attach the hose piece onto the filter outlet and connect the syringe to the hose piece
b.    Immerse the filter element completely under water
c.    Then draw water into the syringe. 
d.    Disconnect and empty the syringe to repeat this a number of times until the water filter element is completely saturated with water.   

3.    The filter element can now be mounted in the water container. Insert the filter outlet, with a sealing ring on it, through the hole in the bottom of the water container. Place a second sealing ring around the filter outlet and tighten the union nut securely.

4.    Place the two water containers on top of each other and fill the top one with the water which is to be purified.

5.    First flush a new filter element with 2 to 3 liters of water. After this, the filtered water is suitable for consumption.

Maintenance                        

A layer of water containing the sediment / settlings always remains in the waste water reservoir. The purpose of settling is the removal of undissolved particles from the water. If the density of the particles is greater than that of water, they move to the bottom under the influence of gravity. Discard this layer of water when refilling the water reservoir.

• The filter element can be easily cleaned when the waterflow decreases: The filter element surface can be sanded clean using the integrated Cleaning Pad. Then rinse the filter element with water. 
• Clean the water containers regularly by washing them with water and soap and then rinsing them with clean water.

Keep the filter element in use, or store the filter element (in the refrigerator) in a plastic bag (eg zip lock) to prevent the Ultrafiltration Membranes from drying out. We recommend adding Cosil47 Water Filter Disinfectant solution. 

1. Fill the top water container with clean (filtered) water and add Cosil47 Colloidal Silver as instructed in the user manual of Cosil47.
2. Let this water run through the filter cartridge and allow it to become saturated with it.
3. Disassemble the filter element and store it in a sealed container or bag in the refrigerator.
4. First flush the filter element again before using it again. 

And last but not least:

Care is important when using and maintaining this water filter, as it concerns the safety of your drinking water!
