Description
Mobile drinking water filter rivaALVA EXPLORER OVERLAND – metal housing with filter cartridges and connection set
Description
In many parts of the world, clean drinking water cannot be taken for granted. It can be contaminated by bacteria as well as by chemicals or heavy metals. In southern countries chlorine is added to the drinking water which can lead to stomach problems in children or susceptible adults. Heat and irregularly used water pipes also promote the growth of bacteria in the water pipes.
The rivaALVA EXPLORER OVERLAND drinking water filter provides a remedy. With this set you get safety in a double pack! A rivaALVA Life bio block activated carbon filter and a riva Multi legionella and bacteria filter. This combination offers you efficient protection and maximum safety.
The rivaALVA LIFE filter cartridge is a sintered activated carbon block filter cartridge for drinking water treatment. Due to the high adsorption capacity as well as the filter fineness of 20 µm, both dissolved pollutants and existing suspended solids can be safely retained. The filter cartridge is both paste-free and food-safe and is manufactured in Germany from renewable raw materials.
The filter cartridge riva MULTI is a hollow fibre membrane filter cartridge for drinking and shower water treatment. Due to the filter fineness of 0.2 µm, bacteria and germs as well as dissolved pollutants such as microplastics and particles or suspended matter can be safely retained. The filter cartridge is food safe and certified and manufactured in Germany.
Pollutant retention
The retention of pollutants is achieved by three active principles:
– Due to the filter fineness of 0.2 µm, particles larger than the filter pores are retained. Based on the mechanical effect, bacteria such as legionella, pseudomonads, E. coli, enterococci as well as suspended particles, rust particles and microplastics are retained.
– Due to the catalytic effect of activated carbon, certain substances such as chlorine and chlorine compounds can be converted. These are then no longer present in their original form.
– Due to the adsorptive effect of the activated carbon, 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.
