The AQUA Logic Gravity filter operates using gravity: water flows slowly from the top container, through the filter, into the bottom container. The water reservoirs have a capacity of 8.5 liters each.
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.
The AQUA Logic Gravity filter is a drinking water filter designed for situations where the regular water supply is unreliable due to water pollution or contamination. The filter is capable of producing high-quality, safe, and clean drinking water. It is particularly effective in environments heavily contaminated with microorganisms, providing an excellent solution for combating waterborne diseases such as Cholera. Additionally, the filter operates without the use of chemicals and is composed of maintenance-free and corrosion-resistant components.
Filter characteristics 3-in-1 CS-Ultra Filter Element
1. Activated Carbon cylinder with a pore size of 1 micron
The activated carbon is made from 100% organic material (coconut shell) and has a very high adsorption capacity for odours, colour, taste, metals such as lead, as well as yeasts, chlorine, pharmaceutical residues, and other chemicals.
2. Nano Silver Impregnation
Nano Silver is applied to the activated carbon. The Nano Silver coating inhibits the growth of bacteria and microorganisms in water, and helps to prevent microbial growth in the filter element. This effect is achieved as the Nano Silver particles disrupt the cell walls of microorganisms and impede their reproduction, significantly reducing the risk of water contamination and the spread of pathogens. This allows you to enjoy high-quality water with increased safety and purity.
3. Ultrafiltration membranes with a pore size of 0.01–0.03 micron
Ultrafiltration membrames providing effective filtration against:
• Pathogenic organisms: Bacterial reduction of >99.9999% (including Cholera, Shigella, Typhus, Klebsiella terrigena, Legionella, and E. coli)
• Cysts/Protozoa: (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium)
• Micro- and Nano-plastics: Removes particles as small as 0.03 microns (30 nanometers)
All parts are BPA-Free.
How to use
1. Marking the Filter First Use Date
Use the supplied date sticker to note the date of first use. Stick it visibly on the one of the water containers. The adviced service life is 1 year; the actual lifespan of the filter element may vary depending on the degree of contamination in the source water. As long as water continues to flow through the filter, it is safe to drink, even if the flow rate decreases.
2. Installing the Filter Element
Insert the filter outlet with one sealing ring attached, through the hole in the bottom of the top water container. Place the second sealing ring on the outlet from below and tighten the nut securely.
3. Assembling the System
Assemble all parts of the filter system (see also:Assembly RVS Gravity Filter Set). Stack the two water containers. Fill the top container with water to purify. After a few minutes, water will begin dripping into the bottom container. As the water level in the upper container decreases, the flow rate of the filtered water will also decrease.
Ready for Use
If sufficient water is available, it is recommended to not use the first batch of filtered water (ca. 5 liter) for consumption. After that, the filter is ready to provide clean and safe drinking water.
Note: Always use the most clean water source that is available and preferably use the filter in a clean environment.
Maintenance
Removing Sediment Layer
A thin layer of water containing settled particles may remain in the upper container. This is normal. Sedimentation removes undissolved particles by allowing heavier materials to sink. Always discard this settled water layer when refilling the reservoir.
Cleaning the Filter Element
If the water flow slows down, the filter can be cleaned easily:
- Using the integrated Cleaning Pad, the filter surface can be firmly sanded clean (see image beside).
- Rinse the actived carbon surface. Make sure only clean water touches the water outlet. As a precaution, do not use the first liter of filtered water for consumption.
Cleaning the Water Containers
Clean the water containers regularly by washing them with water and soap.
Storage after Use
Wet Storage: Disassemble the filter element. Store it in a sealed container or bag, preferably in the refrigerator.
Dry Storage: Let the filter air-dry in a clean area. Drying near a heat source, such as a radiator or in sunlight, is recommended — but avoid direct contact between the heat source and the plastic parts, as this may cause damage.
Note: When the filter is put back into use, it may take some time before the water flows through properly. As a precaution, do not use the first liter of filtered water for consumption.
Shelf life and Life Span
Unused, the filter has an almost unlimited shelf life (store in a cool, dry and dark place). The adviced service life is 1 year; the actual lifespan of the filter element may vary depending on the degree of contamination in the source water. As long as water continues to flow through the filter, it is safe to drink, even if the flow rate decreases.
