The way of tap water

The water filtered in the water treatment plant is safe water according to the standards set by government or by international standards. During the treatment in the plant, chlorine is added for sterilization and it can be a source of chlorine odors and produces harmful substances of suspected carcinogen called trihalomethanes by reacting with organic substances.

Besides chlorine、the treated water distributed from the plan to homes, offices and factories can have chances of contaminant. For example, lead can dissolve in the water from lead pipes or fixtures, and rust can solve in the water through aging iron pipes.

Many families, especially families with babies or pregnant females try to make safe water by boiling. Adequate boiling can kill bacteria and virus but if metal contaminants such as lead or rust is dissolved in water, boiling cannot remove them.

Role of Purifree

Purifree water purifier produces safe and tasty water by removing 15 detrimental substances and undesirable chlorine odors including dissolved lead and iron rust with the 4-layer filtering structure filtration. At the same time, Purifree allows minerals essential to your body flowing through and retains in your drinking water.

Economical

bottle



Economical Purification capacity is 8000 litters (2110 gallons). You can get purified water as long as 2 years without replacing the filter if 10 litters are consumed a day. You can replace the whole unit in 2 years. This is more economical than the way of replacing filter and you can save running cost. Compared to a bottled water, it is equal to 16000 bottles of 500-ml bottle and 4000 bottles of 2-litter bottle. If you figure out it in cost, the Purifree produces tasty and healthy water at 1/40 of the bottled water.
(Purification capacity: by JIS S 3201)

The hoses used widely in food, medical, biology fields, etc. are eco-friendly product without emitting any poisonous gas when ignited. The hoses have smooth flow and self-cleaning function, and will rarely turn moldy during the product life time of 2-year usage.

Excellent purifying capability

The 4-layer filtrate structure (Pre-filter, Granular activated carbon, Fibriform activated carbon and Hollow fiber membrane filter) removes 15 undesirable detrimental substances specified by JIS S 3201 (Testing methods for household water purifiers by Japanese Industrial Standard Committee) and Japan Water Purifier Association. While it does not filter out beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium essential to your body and provides tasty water.

Structure

4-layer filtration structure

Despite of small body, Purifree achieves large flow with excellent purification by integrating precision with large capacity filter.

section

① Pre-filter
Removing large sediment like rust and foreign particle.
② Granular activated carbon
Removing chlorine odor, trihalomethane and musty odor. Enhanced performance of granular activated carbon was developed specifically for the water purification. Since palm-shell-based granular activated carbon is treated with steam activation method, it has less impurity carbon.
③ Fibriform activated carbon
Removing lead solubility. High purification flow is achieved by the distinctive low pressure loss spiral design.。
④ Hollow fiber membrane filter
The large hollow fiber membrane filtrates as small as 0.1μm (0.0001mm) turbid component, bacteria, coliform, parasites, etc.
