It is impossible to determine the quality of water in taste, smell or color. Often, drinking water in a faucet contains various impurities that adversely affect health: iron, chlorine, phenol, pesticides. Pathogenic bacteria also often end up in drinking water.
Filter Tip
Water indicators can only be found in chemical laboratories. This will greatly help in choosing a filter for the home. If the choice is made between European and domestic water purification systems, it is better to give preference to the latter, since not all manufacturers from the EU countries take into account the features of our water.
Proven for two decades, Aquaphor Water Filter Company offers a wide range of products. Earlier, filter jugs were in great demand, and today the most popular is the Aquaphor flow filter for water. Highways are also in demand, but their scope is not so wide.

Features of the filter "Aquaphor Trio"

- Aquaphor Trio;
- Aquaphor Trio Softening;
- Aquaphor Trio Fe;

The stainless steel version is considered universal, which is suitable for any water.
Principles of cleaning the main filter

- Biological treatment. At this stage, water is exposed to ultraviolet radiation for disinfection. It can be used to prepare baby food and drink without boiling.
Filters of the main type can filter 20-50 liters of water in 1 minute, while the water pressure should be from 0.1 to 0.5 bar.
