AQVA M-Size Ultrafilter Package for Lake Water Purification
The perfect water clarifier for turning lake water into usable water, such as sauna washing water. This AQVA M-size ultrafilter package, featuring a 0.1 µm membrane, effectively reduces humus, bacteria, and other microbiological impurities from utility water. Ideal for purifying water at a single water point. For drinking water purification, especially when microbiological impurities are present, we recommend a reverse osmosis system, such as the AQVA Smart EVO drinking water purifier.
Benefits:
- Enhances utility water quality
- Pressure release button for effortless housing opening
- No drainage system required
Purification and Filtration Methods:
The ultrafilter’s 0.1 µm membrane mechanically removes microbiological impurities. For comparison, bacteria typically measure around 0.2 µm, and humus particles are approximately 0.45 mm.
Removes from Water:
- Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria)**
Note: For complete removal of cyanobacterial toxins, we recommend reverse osmosis technology, such as the AQVA Smart EVO reverse osmosis drinking water purifier.
Replacement Filter:
- Typical lifespan: 3,000–14,000 liters*
- *Filter lifespan depends on raw water quality. Replace the filter when water flow decreases significantly or outlet pressure drops near zero, indicating a clogged filter. If you notice changes in purified water quality, we recommend conducting a follow-up water analysis of the raw water.
Package Contents:
- Housing tightening wrench
Technical Specifications:
- Compatible with standard 10-inch inline filter cartridges in the AQVA M-size filter housing
- Recommended flow rate: Approximately 5 liters per minute, suitable for 1 water point
- Pressure drop: 0.3 bar at a flow rate of approximately 10 L/min
- Connection size: 3/4-inch threaded fittings
- Dimensions: Housing height 32 cm, width 13 cm; wall-mount bracket height 4 cm
- Operating temperature: 2–30°C
- Features a pressure release button for easy housing opening
- Refer to the user manual available under the “Downloads” tab
System Requirements:
- Consistent inlet pressure: 2–10 bar
- Water supply to the purifier, typically installed after a membrane pressure tank or pump
- Pre-filtration unit: Due to the ultrafilter’s tight mechanical membrane, adequate pre-filtration is essential. For example, use a fine filtration package (AQ1MC-MF1).
- Other impurities, such as iron/rust, must be removed first using an iron filter (e.g., AQ1MC-FE). Large humus quantities (>5 mg/L COD) should be pre-treated with a humus filter (e.g., AQ050X).
Winter Storage:
During winter, if temperatures drop below 2°C, close water lines and drain the inline filter housing to prevent freezing damage.
