Tests and results
Tests verify the filter
Many tests have been performed with the filter solutions that we have chosen to work with, the Microspiral filter and the newest filter, Ahlstrom. Most tests have been performed, during the years, with the Microspiral filter. The filter design allows for an insert, usually with granulated carbon, that is placed within the main filter cartridge. This combination adds a synergistic effect which makes the filter even more effective against most contaminants. This is verified by hundreds of tests, some even carried out by Pasteur institute in France and NSF. The latest tests, just reported, were performed in Bristol, in United Kingdom where we had the opportunity to test the quality of the drinking water, suspected to be contaminated with PFAS-substances. The filters got excellent results, as seen below:
In this document are some examples of tests made in Sweden by accredited laboratories with references to these tests. The tests were performed after a daily use of the Microspiral filters in households for up to eight months.
Test results
Ahlstrom + Carbon block
This super effective filter combination removes bacteria, viruses, parasites, endotoxins, trace pharmaceuticals, micro plastics, graphene oxide, PFAS-substances etc. to a very high degree. As mentioned, at the same time the filter ensures that the minerals, salts and trace minerals, which are so essential for our health, remains in the drinking water. Even if this is a relatively new technique, a lot of tests have been performed with this filter media and a couple of examples are shown below. The first example is a test where the Ahlstrom membrane itself (without carbon block) were tested in a water contaminated with PFAS-variants:
The second test with the Ahlstrom technique shows its unique ability to neutralize choliform bacteria and E.coli, two of the most common problems with micro organisms in drinking water:
