Advantages of using clay filter
1. always fresh water
The water in the clay filter always stays at a pleasant temperature, as the ceramic material in this filter is porous. So, the water enters these pores and then evaporates, which causes a natural cooling that causes the water temperature to decrease by up to 5° C, so it is always very fresh.
2. Water free of dirt and microorganisms
Unlike activated carbon filters that have a high pressure, the clay filter has a lower power. This is beneficial as it provides filtration of up to 99% of waste and microorganisms in the water.
3. Clay filter is a more economical option
Firstly, the price of this object is lower compared to other filters available in the market. In addition, as it is not electric, it reduces energy consumption and, moreover, with this filter you will not buy mineral water. That is, only advantages!
4. more alkaline water
The water that comes out of the tap has an acidic pH, but filtering with the clay filter causes this pH to increase, and therefore, the water becomes more alkaline. For this reason, water from this filter is better for health.
5. Less heavy metals in the water
The clay filter is able to reduce the amount of chlorine (a heavy metal) in the water that comes from the street. Therefore, it is another health benefit, as heavy metals are associated with the emergence of diseases such as cancer.
6. Lower intake of compounds from plastics
If you usually buy mineral water, be aware that plastic gallons release substances called BPA, which accumulate in the body and can cause damage to health. Therefore, the clay filter is a better alternative.
Extend the life of your clay filter
Wash the filter periodically with water and a soft sponge. Also, change the candle every six months, as it loses its filtering power and the water can become contaminated. Anyway, take good care of your filter to always have quality water at your fingertips.
