Aquaphor B515-14 Filter Cartridge
General Description
The Aquaphor B515-14 is a highly effective replacement filter module designed specifically for purifying hot water (up to +95°C). It is used in the Aquaphor Midi main-line filters and is intended for the comprehensive removal of contaminants throughout a home or building's hot water supply system. The cartridge significantly improves water quality, making it safe for household use and more pleasant for showers and baths.
How It Works and Key Technologies
The B515-14 cartridge is created using a unique sorption carbon block technology with gradient porosity. It features a two-stage structure for maximum efficiency:
- Outer Carbon Block (20 µm porosity): Consists of a mixture of granular activated carbon and the ion-exchange fiber Aqualen™. This stage provides pre-filtration to remove larger mechanical impurities such as rust, sand, and silt, as well as colloidal and dissolved iron.
- Inner Carbon Block (5 µm porosity): This is a very dense layer that ensures a deep purification of water from finer particles and chemical impurities. It effectively removes chlorine, phenols, pesticides, heavy metals, and other dissolved organic compounds and toxins.
Thanks to this technology, the module has an increased dirt-holding capacity and does not reduce water pressure in the pipes.
