Description
Carbonit EM filter cartridges
- Pollution filtration and water refinement combined in one cartridge.
- All cartridges of the EM-series are composed of an activated carbon mono-bloc®, with EM-ceramic ?backed? into it.
- The EM-ceramic is among other things reducing the surface tension of the water as well as the size of cluster structures.
- High retention rate for heavy metals, medical residues, chlorine and pesticides.
- The variant EM Premium 5 also provides highest protection against bacteria.
- The variant EM Aquawhirler additionally integrates a whirler unit.
- Vitally important minerals, like magnesium and calcium, are not removed from the water.
- The activated carbon mono-bloc (Monoblock®) material is based on coconut shell.
- For more details, please refer to the respective variant.
Variantes of the EM filter cartridges
We keep four diffrents types of EM filter cartridges. The following table shall give you an overview of the benefits and characteristics of the different variants.
| Filter mesh | 0,45 µm | 0,70 µm | 0,15 µm | 0,70 µm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flow rate (at 4 bar) | 2 l/min | 3,5 l/min | 7 l/min | 3 l/min |
| Retention rate for pesticides, ...* | 94 % | 84 % | 59 % | 84 % |
| Retention rate for chlorine* | 94 % | 87 % | 73 % | 87 % |
| Retention rate for heavy metals* | 86 % | 76 % | 53 % | 76 % |
| Blocks bacteria | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Adsorptive retention capacity | 10 m3 | 11 m3 | 11 m3 | 11 m3 |
| Particle retention capacity | 10 m3 | 12 m3 | 5 m3 | 12 m3 |
| EM-ratio | 5 % | 5 % | 10 % | 5 % |
| EM-effectiveness** | 100 % | 84 % | 76 % | 84 % |
* The indicated retention rates refer to the nominal flow rate at 4 bar. If the actual pressure or the real flow rate is lower, the contact time between water and activated carbon gets longer. Because of this the real retention rates tend to be higher than stated.
** The EM-effectiveness is indicated %, where the EM Premium 5 has an effectiveness of 100%. It results from the contact time between water and filter medium. The faster the water passes by the EM ceramic the less the effects can work on the water.
