Description
Filter cartridge rivaALVA LIFE
Description
The filter cartridge rivaALVA LIFE is a sintered activated carbon block filter cartridge for drinking water treatment. The filter cartridge is both paste-free and food-safe and is manufactured in Germany in an environmentally friendly manner from renewable raw materials.
Pollutant retention
The retention of pollutants is achieved by three active principles of the activated carbon:
– Due to the filter fineness of 20 µm, particles larger than the filter pores are retained. Based on the mechanical effect, suspended particles, rust particles and microplastics, for example, are retained.
– Due to the catalytic effect, certain substances such as chlorine and chlorine compounds can be converted. These are then no longer present in their original form. Through the adsorptive effect, further pollutants can be absorbed. In this case, they attach themselves directly to the activated carbon and remain there.
– Thanks to the adsorptive effect, organic compounds such as pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, heavy metals such as lead and copper, drug residues, hormones and taste-disturbing substances can be retained.
Flow rate
approx. 9-11 litres per minute at 3 bar
Filter fineness
approx. 20 µm
Mass
7 x 7 cm
Service life
The filter cartridge must be replaced after 6 months (according to DIN 1988). The recommended maximum flow rate is 7000 litres. Depending on the water quality, especially with noticeably reduced water flow, a filter cartridge change may also be necessary at shorter intervals.
