PFAS plus MEDIUM

Range of applicationTap water in thenear industrial areas with frequent PFAS production.

PFASs include more than 1400 harmful chemical substances that are produced during the manufacture of everyday products and thus end up in our groundwater. PFAS belong to the group of man-made chemicals that have negative health effects and can contaminate drinking water. To make matters worse, PFAS are persistent pollutants that do not dissipate but accumulate in the environment over time. PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) are the two most commonly produced PFASs worldwide. Chronic exposure to PFASs can lead to various diseases, such as increased LDL cholesterol levels, thyroid metabolism disorders and effects on the immune system. The result of a complex development is the AcquaPhi PFAS plus which filters proven PAFS out of drinking water. It also reduces chlorine, provides a bacteriostatic effect and eliminates undesirable odours and tastes. odours and flavours.

Range of application: Is a disposable filter cartridge including a quick-change housing with filtration through an activated carbon block including silver ion technology ensures a Fine filtration 0.5 µm. The sterility (antibacterial effect) in the filter core is guaranteed by the silver ions.The compact filter core inside consists of 100% activated carbon from biological coconut shells.

plus Function

Additionally removes organic compounds, odours and tastes in the water. Reduces chlorine, microplastics, pharmaceutical residues and heavy metals.

Possible effects on health 

Exposure to PFASs can have a number of health consequences, often long-term. Since our bodies cannot excrete these substances, they can accumulate until they reach significant levels. Exposure to PFASs can damage health in a number of ways. Cancer, immunological or morphological effects on the foetus during pregnancy, liver damage.
