The heart of a water ltration device is its lters.
If lters are not authorized or if authorized lters are used past their life expectancy,
their performance may decrease.
WATER FILTRATION PROCESS
AQUAMEGA 100 water ltration system
A-1 : SEDIMENT FILTER
This sediment lter has the functions to remove infusible particles from feed water and to protect pre-carbon lter.
A-2 : PRECARBON FILTER
This pre-carbon lter has the functions to remove chlorine and to absorb harmful organic chemicals from feed water.
A-3 : POSTCARBON FILTER
This post-carbon lter has the functions to remove smell induction material and to improve taste of water.
*
Temporary tiny bubbles (air bubbles) may be generated due to water pressure when dispensing from a direct water device.
These air bubbles disappear naturally and do not aect water quality in any way.
*
When you boil ltered water from the device, there may be white precipitation.
This is not contamination, but rather precipitating minerals within the water.
