This set includes the latest generation multi-step filter for the Aqualine 5 (as shown on this page) and a ceramic pre-filter. This new filter removes up to 99.9% of pollutants from the water.

This filter makes the filtered water alkaline. If you prefer to drink pH neutral water choose the pH neutral version.

The composition of this new generation multi-step filter was developed especially for Aqualine products. We at Tradeline visit our suppliers in South Korea on average every other year and discuss whether the composition is still adequate or whether better filter materials have come onto the market.

1st stage - the ceramic filter

This filter is located in the filling tank and has a fineness of 0.2 microns (0.0002 mm). With this pre-filter you already remove much of the contamination from the water including bacteria, undissolved calcium and magnesium particles. The water passes slowly through the filter and then drips into the multi-step filter

2nd stage - the multi-step filter

1st coat
High quality, silver impregnated, 30X60 type activated carbon with high uptake.

2nd layer
Zeolite pellets. Environmentally friendly pellets with high adsorption value, filters chlorine compounds such as trihalomethane from the water and various heavy metals, softens the water.

3rd layer
Silica and combo beads. The balls are a combination of various substances including Tourmaline, Zeolite and Kaolin. They have a redox function and anti-bacteriological effect.

4th layer
Illite combo balls. Emit a far infrared frequency of 9.23 micrometers. This frequency vibrates in the same frequency as the human body. This activates cells, stimulates and increases micro blood circulation. They soften the water to a pH of about 7.5. Furthermore, they also have an anti-bacteriological effect.

3rd stage - making alkaline/basic with the pH ring

When you order, this is a choice. If you choose the alkaline version, the system comes with a pH ring. This ring is filled with magnetite beads, tourmaline beads, alkaline beads and magnesium beads. The ring increases the pH of the filtered water by an average of 1 - 1.5 pH point to slightly alkaline water. Thus, how high the pH of the water becomes depends on your tap water. Furthermore, the pH ring lowers the ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) value giving the water an anti oxidant effect. (The water does not add anti oxidants).

Replace the filter after 2,000 liters if you filter more than 6 liters per day. If you filter less than 6 liters of water per day, the manufacturer recommends changing the filter after 1 year. In Germany it is required by law to change filters containing carbon every six months.

Part of the filter consists of activated carbon. This is a natural product. If the carbon is completely saturated with the pollutant then it no longer absorbs anything and will release the pollutant after a period of time. This moment cannot be determined exactly. Therefore the advice is to replace the filter at least after 1 year.

Worried about bacteria forming in the filtered water? No need to be! Because part of the mineral stones are impregnated with silver, bacterial activity in the water is prevented. The filtered water in your water filtration system will therefore remain good for weeks.

This set fits the Aqualine 5, the KS 911, the Aquavit 5, the AQV 5, the Biovit 100, the Aqualive 5 and all Keosan and Cosan 5 liter systems. In addition, this filter fits into several Nikken piMag systems.
