AQVA XL / 20 " BB filter combination - Bacteria, organic matter, odor

Bacteria-Organic matter-Odor Filter Combination

Benefits:

• Improves the quality of domestic water.
• Easy maintenance.
• No drainage required.
• Pressure release button.
• Standard 20" BB size.
• Simple to install and use.
• No electricity needed.

Filtration and Functionality:

• Stage 1: Removes visible and invisible particulate matter down to 1µm (1/1000th of a millimeter) with a fine filter (AQMF1-XL). This stage also removes approximately 30% of dissolved organic matter.
• Stage 2: Primarily filters organic matter (COD or KMnO4), and to some extent iron and manganese, using KDF media and high-surface-area granular activated carbon. Filter type: AQKDF-XL.
• Stage 3: Final water purification with a 0.1µm ultrafilter (AQUF01-XL), which filters bacteria, yeasts, molds, particulate matter, and additional organic matter. The filter’s outer surface is made of activated carbon fiber.

Removes from Water:

• Particulate matter
• Sand
• Organic matter
• Sediment
• Odors and tastes
• Heavy metals
• Organic compounds
• Bacteria
• Yeasts and molds
• Pesticides
• Solvents

Technical Specifications:

• Connections: 1" internal brass-reinforced connections.
• Dimensions: Height 630 mm, Width 700 mm, Depth 200 mm.
• Dry weight: 14 kg.
• Refer to the user manual under the "Files" tab.

System Requirements:

• Typical flow rate: Up to 15 liters per minute (suitable for 1–4 water points). Higher flow rates are possible, but filtration efficiency may temporarily decrease.
• Typical pressure drop at 10 liters/min flow: 0.4–0.6 bar, depending on filter usage.
• Operating pressure: 2–6 bar. For higher pressures, a pressure reduction valve can be installed before the filter.
• Maximum recommended iron content in water: 500 µg/L.
• Maximum recommended manganese content: 100 µg/L.
• Maximum recommended humus content: COD 10 mg/L (40 mg/L KMnO4). The system can handle higher humus levels, but the ultrafilter may clog faster.
• For water containing fecal bacteria, additional purification for drinking water is recommended, e.g., with a compact reverse osmosis unit like AQVA Smart EVO (AQ006-EVO), due to the theoretical risk of mechanical failure.

Package Contents:

• Filter housings.
• 1" nipples for connecting housings.
• Sampling ball valves (with 1/4" thread for optional pressure gauge AQ-PG15-14, sold separately).
• Wall mounting bracket.
• Housing wrench.
• Filter cartridges.

Replacement Filters and Theoretical Lifespans:

• AQMF1-XL, 1µm fine filter: Approx. 24,000 liters.
• AQKDF-XL, KDF and granular activated carbon combination: Approx. 120,000 liters at COD 5 mg/L humus content.
• AQUF01-XL, Ultrafilter: Approx. 50,000–100,000 liters.
• *Water quality and seasonal variations may affect performance and lifespan.

Winter Storage:

• In winter, if temperatures drop below 2°C, close water lines and empty filter housings to prevent frost damage.
