AQVA L filter combination - organic matter, odor, flavor

AQVA L-Size Filter System for Water Purification

The AQVA L-size filter system is engineered for advanced water purification, effectively removing humus, earthy or musty odors, and tastes. It also reduces small amounts of iron and manganese, delivering clean, high-quality water for household use. This system is ideal for addressing water quality issues related to taste and odor, ensuring safe and pleasant drinking water.

Filtration Process

• First Stage: Fine Filtration

A 1 µm (1/1000th of a millimeter) fine filter (AQMF1-L) removes visible and invisible suspended solids, providing clear water. This stage also eliminates approximately 30% of humus, improving water clarity and quality.

• Second Stage: AQVA MAX Filter

The AQVA MAX filter (AQ051X), utilizing high-surface-area ion-exchange fiber technology, primarily targets humus while also reducing iron and manganese levels. This ensures effective water treatment for common impurities.

• Final Stage: Odor and Taste Filtration

The AQKDF-L filter, combining KDF media and activated carbon, removes common odor and taste impurities, delivering fresh-tasting water free from earthy or musty notes.

Technical Specifications

• Filter Housing: AQVA L-size, 10" Big Blue (BB)
• Connections: 1" brass-reinforced internal fittings
• No Electricity Required: Energy-efficient water purification
• No Drainage Needed: Simplified maintenance
• Easy Installation and Use: Includes housing wrench for straightforward upkeep
• Installation Location: Typically installed after a pressure water tank, before household water distribution
• Dimensions: H470 x W540 x D220 mm

Filtration Performance

• Typical Flow Rate: Up to 8 liters per minute. Higher flow rates are possible, but filtration efficiency may temporarily decrease.
• Pressure Drop: 0.5–1.0 bar at a flow rate of 10 liters per minute, influenced by filter usage.
• Operating Pressure: 2–6 bar. For higher pressures, a pressure reduction valve can be installed.

Raw Water Requirements

• Maximum Iron Content: Up to 2 mg/L (2000 µg/L), recommended limit 1 mg/L.
• Maximum Manganese Content: Up to 300 µg/L, recommended limit 150 µg/L.
• Maximum Humus Content: COD 20 mg/L (80 mg/L KMnO4). Humus type may affect filtration efficiency and lifespan.

This system is specifically designed to address earthy or musty odors and tastes. It moderately reduces hydrogen sulfide levels in water.

Replacement Filters and Estimated Lifespan

• AQMF1-L: 1 µm fine filter, approximately 18,000 liters.
• AQ051X: AQVA MAX filter, approximately 30,000 liters at COD 10 mg/L humus content.
• AQKDF-L: Odor and taste filter, approximately 50,000 liters.

*Filter lifespan and performance may vary based on overall water quality and seasonal fluctuations.
