3-Stage UV Filtration
1) Sediment Filter: Spun bonded polypropylene cartridge which removes
##
suspended & physical impurities from water. Filter capacity - 6000 ltrs or 1
year.
2) Silver Impregnated Activated Carbon: Removes excess chlorine colour,
foul odour and organic impurities. Imparts bacteriostatic property to the
##
purified water and revives the original taste of water. Filter capacity - 6000
ltrs or 1 year.
3) UV-Disinfection: Water passes through a special grade of quartz glass

and protozoa, thus ensuring pure water.
