How The System Works
The filtration process begins with a scientifically designed filtration system. This system uses a process to help eliminate the harmful particles often found in tap water, called activated carbon. Activated carbon extremely porous and adsorbs many of the particles your drinking water can do without. Adsorbing is much different than absorbing because it adheres to the harmful particles to the surface.
The process operates when your water enters the filter chamber. From here, the water is pushed through another chamber which contains the activated carbon. The activated carbon then adsorbs the harmful particles you wouldn’t want to drink, leaving you with a clean, refreshing glass of water.
