The filters in our BPA-free water bottles are based on a technology that was originally developed for the space programme.
They remove up to 99.9999 % of all impurities contained in the water.
The Water-to-Go filters use 3 unique technologies that are extremely different from "normal" filters.
Instead of gluing the filter into a block as usual, we integrate it as a membrane to avoid efficiency losses.
Our two other technologies work like additional filters, making safe water possible.
Unlike other activated carbon filters, which only remove sediment and some substances, Water-to-Go improves the safety of drinking water and removes additional substances:
Our unique 3-in-1 filtration technology uses a combination of two nano technologies with an innovative process to include activated carbon.
The membrane emits a positive charge when wet and attracts the negatively charged contaminants in the water, including protozoa, bacteria and viruses.
This revolutionary process ensures that every drop of water is safe, healthy and tastes great. A filter that really does what it's supposed to do.
Activated carbon filtration - Conventional carbon filters are glued together with adhesives (which significantly reduces the efficiency of the filter). The pores of our filter are 20x smaller. The result: much stronger elimination of bad taste and odour than other products.
Electrical charge - Most harmful elements in the water are negatively charged and are therefore attracted by a positive charge within the filter and retained inside the filter. Positive elements, such as magnesium, are retained.
Mechanical filtration - An additional layer with another technology. Glass strands with tiny hairs on the surface that stand up on contact with water. The result: the pores of the filter are further narrowed and microbiological impurities are filtered out. (1/1000 of a hair)
Water-to-Go filters have been independently tested to internationally recognised standards by industry specialists such as the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (UK), BCS Laboratories (USA), Bangalore Test House (India) and IMI (China) and have been proven to eliminate up to 99.9999% of all contaminants.
When you use a new filter for the first time, you must activate itThis is very simple. Follow steps 1 - 3. The filter is activated by the water (regardless of the source) and needs approx. 15 minutes to be completely completely soaked
After 15 minutes, open the cap, press the bottle gently and simply pour away the first water that comes through the bottle (until it is clear). This rinses the filter. Don't worry, even if you drink some of it, the cloudy colour comes from the carbon filter and is not toxic.
If the filter has been standing for several days/weeks/months and is completely dry, reactivate it in the same way.
