The quality of the water we consume every day in France is subject to drastic and very frequent checks on the quality of the water supplied by the water networks. Treatment makes the water completely drinkable, but a more or less pronounced taste of chlorine can be detected. It can also carry micro-particles and may contain limescale.
Increasingly efficient and sophisticated filtration systems are designed to guarantee consumers high-quality water. Depending on your needs and the water quality problems you encounter, your service provider will advise you on the best filtration system for each fountain. We can already tell you about 5 types of filtration and the filtration technologies that have been tried and tested on water coolers.
Activated carbon filtration
Activated carbon is an element that eliminates unpleasant tastes and odours, such as chlorine, as well as certain pesticides. It also improves water turbidity, allowing users to enjoy cleaner water.
Triple action filtration
This filtration is carried out in several stages, for in-depth filtration that retains 99.99% of particles down to 5 microns. Firstly, sediments are used to eliminate the largest particles, then activated carbon is used to reduce chlorine and other elements that can affect the taste or smell of the water. Finally, we look for a reduction in limescale.
Sediment filtration
Sediment eliminates sand, sediment (up to 5 microns) and other particles that can damage equipment through several layers of filtration. They significantly improve the taste of the water by reducing the minerals present in it.
Microfilter filtration
Using capillary microfiltration membrane technology, the filter removes 99.999% of bacteria and cysts to guarantee perfectly purified water.
Anti-limescale filtration
This type of filtration softens the water and optimises the quality of drinks through several filtration stages:
- Pre-filtration for larger particles
- Activated carbon pre-filtration to reduce elements that can affect the taste of the water
- Ion exchange to adjust water hardness and improve taste
- Activated carbon for the permanent removal of chlorine and pesticides
- Fine filtration (comparable to microfiltration)
Water coolers can be filtered using a variety of techniques and methods. The most important thing is to find THE solution that suits your situation and your water cooler.
