This includes microplastics up to 1.5 micrometers in size, mud, and fine dust. The soulfilter also neutralizes the taste of chlorinated tap water. Cheers!
- Stable service life: The filter should be replaced after every 300 liters of tap water or 150 liters of natural water, giving you almost 6 or 3 months of filtered drinking water, respectively, based on an average daily amount of 1.5 liters. Stable!
- Less plastic: You use 300 times more plastic with water from plastic bottles than with our soulfilter. Want concrete figures? Here they are: 300 liters of clean drinking water requires 200 1.5-liter PET bottles. That's about 6 kg of plastic, comparable to the weight of a house cat. Quite a lot, isn't it? For the same amount of clean drinking water, the soulfilter cartridge, on the other hand, has a 100% recycled plastic content of only about 20 g, which is equivalent to the weight of a standard letter. Furthermore, the cartridge can be recycled at any time with the plastic waste.

How does the soul filter work?
Our filter consists of a very fine-pored (1.2-1.5 micrometers) tissue through which your water is sucked. For filtering purposes, organisms are classified by size, with viruses being the smallest at 0.05 micrometers, bacteria at 0.5 micrometers, and parasites at 5 micrometers. Now you might think: Why are viruses and bacteria filtered if they are smaller than the pore opening of our filters? This is because the filter we use has a very innovative technology used. Namely the electrostatic adsorption . Huh?!
Due to the crystalline structure in the filter medium (Tissue) that generates a strong positive charge, viruses and bacteria are adsorbed. Because they have a negative charge. Aha!
