How Our Filter Works: The Science Behind EcoSip's Purity
In Australia, we assume that our tap water is safe. Yet, with growing concerns about things like microplastics, heavy metals from aging pipes, and the taste of chlorine, many people are looking for a way to protect their families. At EcoSip, we believe that clean, great-tasting water should be simple, convenient, and stylish, which is why we've put so much thought into our filtration technology.
This isn't your average filter. The EcoSip filter goes above and beyond, utilising a cutting-edge, dual-action system that combines electro-adsorption with mechanical filtration to provide a superior level of purity.
The Science of Electro-adsorption
Think of our filter as a high-tech magnet for impurities. The filter media is made from a special mineral with a unique crystal structure that creates a strong, natural positive charge. Most microscopic contaminants, like bacteria and viruses, naturally carry a negative charge. In a powerful, silent process, the positively charged filter media attracts and traps these negatively charged contaminants, pulling them out of your water with incredible efficiency. This innovative process allows us to capture particles down to an astonishing 0.1 microns, which is far smaller than many common pathogens.
More Than a Magnet: Mechanical Filtration
While the electro-adsorption process is the star of the show, our filter also incorporates traditional mechanical filtration. The filter’s non-woven structure has a pore size of 1.2-1.5 microns, which physically removes larger particles like sediment. This two-pronged approach—the electrostatic attraction for the smallest, most harmful contaminants and the physical barrier for larger ones—ensures that your water is as clean as possible.
Authority and Assurance
We know that a filter is only as good as its performance. That's why the Ahlstrom Disruptor® filter technology is rigorously tested and certified to give you peace of mind. Our filter is compliant with the NSF/ANSI 42 standard, a widely recognised authority for drinking water treatment units. This certification verifies that our filter effectively reduces substances that affect the aesthetic quality of water, like chlorine, and also maintains its structural integrity.
The result is a filter that not only removes 99.999% of bacteria and 99.9% of viruses but also leaves behind the beneficial minerals that give water its natural, refreshing taste. With EcoSip, you're not just filtering your water—you're elevating it, ensuring every sip is pure, confident, and delicious.
