The AquaMetix® TF tap water filter cartridge, containing zeolite and activated carbon, reduces chlorine, nitrates, lead, aluminium, copper, arsenic, coliform bacteria and many other harmful substances. It is manufactured in the USA using raw materials that meet the highest FDA standards, cutting-edge technologies and unrivalled performance. It has a capacity of 1,500 litres of water or lasts for 5 months. Aquametix® is a patented combination of two types of activated carbon with zeolite. The zeolites are bonded to the activated carbon using special polymers to create an exceptionally compact and porous water filter that fits most commercially available devices. It is manufactured in the USA using raw materials that meet the highest FDA standards, cutting-edge technology and unrivalled performance.
It is the only combination filter that reduces chlorine, lead and other heavy metals such as aluminium, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, mercury, nickel, zinc and others, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), compounds from medicines and pharmaceutical preparations, nitrates, chloramines, semi-volatile organic compounds, bisphenol A (BPA), herbicides, trihalomethanes, MTBE, industrial residues, turbidity and a vast number of other hazardous substances – all with a single cartridge.

What is activated carbon?
The activated carbon used in Aquametix® is a completely natural product that looks like a fine, odourless, tasteless and non-toxic black powder. It can be produced from peat, bamboo, charcoal, wood, sawdust, coconut husks, olive pits and other sources. It is heated in a controlled environment under vacuum to achieve its characteristic porous surface. These microscopic holes, or pores, can increase the surface area of the carbon from 500 to 1,500 m²/g. As a result of this treatment, it is able to adsorb various substances that come into contact with it, whether in liquid or gaseous form, in quantities many times its own weight. One cubic centimetre of activated carbon has the same surface area as a surface measuring 50,000 square metres. Naturally, activated carbon produced from coconut shells is the most eco-friendly and environmentally friendly option! Aquametix® combines two types of activated carbon with zeolite.
How zeolite helps improve water quality
One of the most valuable natural products, with numerous beneficial properties for both humans and the environment, is the mineral zeolite. The crystalline structure of natural zeolite gives it unique beneficial properties that are relevant to its use in purifying drinking water. Natural zeolite absorbs chlorides, iron and manganese, as well as heavy and toxic metals such as silver, mercury, nickel, chromium, cobalt, antimony, arsenic and cadmium. The ion-exchange properties of zeolite help to remove salts from water, thereby softening the water and adjusting its pH to neutral. Zeolite is a 100% natural, insoluble, durable product with antibacterial properties.
This filter is suitable for OBE SP 10″ type units.

EPA ID #NJ01298 NJ DEP ID #03048 NY ELAP ID #12044. Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) are a subgroup of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) that tend to have a higher molecular weight and a higher boiling point. SVOCs are a cause for concern due to their abundance in the indoor environment and their potential to have adverse effects on human health. Specifically, the semi-volatile organic compounds analysed were as follows: Acenaphthylene, Anthracene, Benz[a]-anthracene, Benzo[b]-fluoranthene, Benzo[k]-fluoranthene, Benzo[a|pyrene, Benzo[g.h,i]perylene, Butylbenzylphthalate, Carboxin, 2-Chlorobiphenyl, Chrysene, Cycloate, Dacthal (DCPA), Diazinon, Dibenz{a,hjanthracene, Di-n-butyl phthalate, 2,3-dichlorobiphenyl, Diethyl phthalate, Di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate, Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, Dimethyl phthalate, EPTC, Fluorene, 2,2',3,3', 4,4’, 6-Heptachlorobiphenyl, Hexachlorobenzene, 2,2', 4,4', 5,6'-Hexachlorobiphenyl, Hexachlorocyclohexane, alpha, Hexachlorocyclohexane, beta, Hexachlorocyclohexane, delta, Hexachlorocyclopentadiene, Hexazinone, Indeno[1,2,3,c,d]pyrene, Isophorone, Merphos, methyl paraoxon, norflurazon, 2,2', 3,3', 4,5', 6,6'-octachlorobiphenyl, pebulate, 2,2', 3', 4,6'-pentachlorobiphenyl, Pentachlorophenol, Phenanthrene, cis-Permethrin, trans-Permethrin, Prometon, Prometryn, Pronamide, Propachlor, Propazine, Triademefon, 2,4,5-Trichlorobiphenyl, Tricyclazole, Trifluralin, Vernolate.
- Microplastics 99%
- Chloramines: 99.9% ENVIROTEK certification EPA ID #NJ01298 NJ DEP ID #03048 NY ELAP ID #12044 based on ANSI/NSF Standard 42. Some local authorities, rather than using chlorine to disinfect water, use chloramine (a combination of chlorine and ammonia). The reason is that chloramines remain active in water for longer than chlorine. In other words, if drinking water has to travel a long distance before reaching your tap, then chloramine is more suitable than chlorine. It also reduces the combination of chloramine, monochloramine and ammonia.
- > 98% THMs (Trihalomethanes). Trihalomethanes (THMs) in water are by-products of chlorination. The most common compounds monitored by water supply authorities are chloroform, bromoform, dibromochloromethane and bromodichloromethane.
- 99.9% reduction in MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether). Certified by ENVIROTEK: EPA ID #NJ01298, NJ DEP ID #03048, NY ELAP ID #12044. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is a volatile organic compound added to petrol to reduce levels of carbon monoxide and ozone in vehicle emissions. In California, the addition of MTBE has improved air quality by reducing vehicle emissions by 14 per cent at a state level. Unfortunately, however, in recent years methyl tert-butyl ether has also begun to appear in water.
- It effectively reduces industrial residues, toxic substances, turbidity, suspended particles, sludge, rust, soil and various other substances harmful to the body.
- Reduction of Radionuclides
- It does not remove minerals and trace elements essential for the body.
- It significantly improves the taste and smell of the water.
- It must be replaced at least twice a year.
I’ve fitted a filter to my tap for the first time and I’m absolutely delighted with how clean the water is; it’s the best-tasting water I’ve ever drunk. It’s the best investment for anyone concerned about their health, given the carcinogens that contaminate the water we drink.
Eβαλα για πρώτη φορά φίλτρο στην βρύση μου και είμαι απόλυτα ευχαριστημένη από τη καθαρότητα του νερού και την ποιότητα είναι το πιο γευστικό νερό που έχω πιει ποτέ είναι η καλύτερη επένδυση για τον καθένα που ενδιαφέρεται για την υγεία του από τις καρκινογόνες ουσίες που ποτίζουν τα νερό που πινουμε
