Sediment and Activated Carbon Filter: Complete Filtration for Your Home
The water we use every day often seems perfectly clean to the naked eye. However, between the distribution network and your kitchen tap, it can carry many impurities: sand, rust, suspended particles, but also chlorine and invisible micro-pollutants.
These elements harm your comfort, damage your equipment, and alter the taste of your drinking water. It is precisely to stop these intruders that installing a complete filtration system is remarkably effective. At Purifio, we recommend a multi-stage approach (PS, UDF, and CTO) to protect your entire home and provide you with impeccable water.
The long journey of water: where do these contaminants come from?
Even when water is treated and distributed by a public network, it travels kilometers before reaching your home. During this journey, it rubs against old pipes and dislodges small particles. The result: sand or rust end up directly in your pipes.
In addition to this, there is chlorine, used by municipalities to disinfect water, but which leaves an unpleasant taste and odor, as well as potential chemical residues (such as the notorious PFAS).
This phenomenon is even more pronounced if your home is supplied by a private well or source, as pumped water naturally contains many more suspended solids (earth, mud, sediments).
The "PS" Filter: Your First Line of Defense (Anti-Impurities)
Installed at the inlet of your filtration system, the PS filter (polypropylene sediment filter) acts as a "guard" at the entrance to your network. Its role is mechanical: it physically retains solid particles before they circulate in your pipes or clog subsequent filters.
Specifically, it blocks:
-
Sand and gravel.
-
Rust from old pipes.
-
Light mud and micro-debris in suspension.
It is this filter that prevents pressure drops at the tap and protects the sensitive solenoid valves of your washing machine or dishwasher.
"UDF and CTO" Filters: Absolute Purification (Taste and Health)
Once the water is rid of its physical impurities by the PS filter, it is clear but not yet chemically pure. This is where the other two stages of Purifio technology come into play:
-
The UDF filter (Granular Activated Carbon): It massively absorbs chlorine, eliminates bad odors, and begins to treat organic compounds. It restores the water's natural clarity and freshness.
-
The CTO filter (Activated Carbon Block): Denser, it is the ultimate finishing filter. It captures stubborn micro-pollutants (pesticides, medicinal residues, PFAS) and refines the taste of the water. It also acts as an additional protective barrier to prevent any ultra-fine particles from passing through.
4 Concrete Benefits of This Complete Filtration
Combining a sediment filter (PS) with carbon purification (UDF/CTO) is not a luxury; it's a measure that offers immediate benefits for your daily life:
-
Protect your pipes and appliances: The PS filter prevents premature wear of your pipes and avoids mechanical breakdowns related to sand and rust.
-
Delicious water from the tap: Thanks to the combined action of UDF and CTO, no more chlorine taste or the need to buy plastic water packs.
-
Preserved skin and hair: Water without chlorine or sediment is much less aggressive, reducing tightness after showering.
-
Save money in the long term: By protecting your network upstream, you avoid costly plumber interventions and stop buying bottled water.
The Choice of Peace of Mind with Purifio
When it comes to water quality, there should be no compromise. Only treating limescale or only filtering taste is not enough if you forget the basics: stopping solid impurities.
At Purifio, our Duopure and Triopure systems integrate this synergy of filters (PS, UDF, CTO) to offer you the best of both worlds: mechanical protection for your home and perfectly healthy drinking water.
