Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» removes the unpleasant odor and taste of raw water, the water after filtration acquires a pleasant taste and premium quality of melted glacial water

Carbon nanotubes have significant antiseptic properties and allow you to passively reduce microbial contamination of water , without the use of additional chemical reagents for water disinfection .

Tap water, after filtration Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» is disinfected , becomes living structured water and retains beneficial natural minerals .

In 2005, scientists from the Aragonese National Laboratory ( USA, Argonne National Laboratory) made a sensational discovery that water after passing through carbon nanotubes transform into a new state ( nanotube water ) – nanotube water , with the correct structure of water molecules and the quality of melted glacial water [1] .

Scientists believe that nanotube water is close in properties to intercellular structured water and such water is easily absorbed by the body.

Tap water varies in chemical composition and quality in different regions of the planet and often contains many impurities and pathogenic microflora.

Especially for people who value their health we have developed an innovative 5 Stage Water Filtration System «DIAMOND NANO FILTER»

5 stages of purification allow you to qualitatively purify tap water of varying composition and contamination.

Tap water after preliminary cleaning and softening of water at the first three stages, filtered through a fourth, specially designed bioceramic filter made from natural minerals , where the water is alkalized to pH 7.5-8.5, the ORP of the water is reduced to -100 mV.

At the last fifth stage, the water is filtered using the «AQUA VIVA» Nano Filter with a patented «ART CARBON» adsorbent with carbon nanotubes , less than 10 nanometers in diameter, where 99.99 % viruses and bacteria, spores and cysts, parasites, microplastics , remnants of drugs, drugs, hormones, heavy metals, organochlorines, radionuclides.

WHAT IS THE «AQUA VIVA» NANO FILTER DIFFERENT?

WITH ART CARBON ADSORBENT FROM OTHER FILTERS ?

I. WAS CREATED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE WORLD IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND PROTECTED IN 2022 WITH AN INTERNATIONAL REVOLUTIONARY PATENT ADSORPTION MATERIAL «ART CARBON» WITH CARBON NANOTUBES FOR WATER FILTERING.

Patented adsorption material «ART CARBON» with carbon nanotubes is produced by burning carbon nanotubes, without oxygen, at a temperature of about 1150 degrees Celsius. Next, the resulting material is immobilized on an inert natural fiber substrate and mixed with fine-grained quartz sand until a homogeneous adsorption-filtration nanomaterial is formed.

For more details, see the patent description [2].

Adsorption material «ART CARBON» has a huge specific surface: one gram of adsorption material «ART CARBON» has a specific area of over 1200 m2.

II. FILTERS WATER 10 TIMES FASTER AND MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN A CONVENTIONAL FILTER

Thanks to revolutionary patented adsorption material «ART CARBON» Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» filters tap water 10 times faster and more efficient than a conventional activated carbon filter.

For example, a filter with activated carbon requires a water contact time of at least 5-10 minutes and at a filtration rate of no more than 0.1 l/min.

Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» To effectively purify water from impurities, it takes only 10 seconds at a water filtration rate of 2.5 l/min.

Such a high filtration rate is associated with unique properties carbon nanotubes : having a smooth and water-repellent structure, nanotubes easily allow small water molecules to pass through at high speeds. At the same time, larger viruses, bacteria, toxic ions of heavy metals or toxic organic compounds cannot pass through carbon nanotubes and are adsorbed.

III. GREEN TECHNOLOGY SAVING NATURE. Unlike reverse osmosis technology, a pump is not required to create high water pressure.

Normal water pressure in the water supply network is sufficient to effectively filter water from impurities and microbial contamination .

WHY IS THE AQUA VIVA NANO FILTER SO SMART?

Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» , unlike a conventional activated carbon filter , adjusts its volume and permeability to pressure fluctuations in the water supply network .

Thus, there is no unregulated flow, which always ensures the same quality of water at the outlet .

When the filter media cannot respond to pressure changes in the pipeline, the contact time of the filter media with the water changes and therefore pollutant capture efficiency remains stable .

REGENERATION OF FILTER ADSORPTION MATERIAL «ART CARBON» SAVES MONEY AND PROTECTS NATURE FROM POLLUTION

Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» effectively filters tap water for up to six months, providing clean living water to a family of three or filters up to 2500 liters of water. Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» can be taken to a dealer for recycling and regeneration of «ART CARBON» Filter material .

After regeneration in a special installation with a solution of food grade ethyl alcohol, the adsorption material «ART CARBON» completely restores its properties.

This is what wastewater with impurities looks like in the photo: after regeneration adsorption material «ART CARBON» ( Fig. 2).

Adsorbent ” ART CARBON ” and Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» are produced at a plant in the Czech Republic. Housing, cartridges, filtration materials are produced 100% in the EU (Germany and Poland).

European Quality of materials and components is confirmed by safety and quality certificates NSF, WRAS.

We work for those who want to have in their home not only safe , but also good for health living structured alkaline water .

Just open the tap and get premium living drinking water from fresh glacial melt water.

«AQUA VIVA» NANO FILTERS WITH ART CARBON ADSORBENT A REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE IN DRINKING WATER PURIFICATION?

Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» for water based on the patented «ART CARBON» adsorbent c CNTs are superior in efficiency and speed of filtration of impurities and microorganisms from water, all traditional water filters available in the world today, including those with activated carbon and membrane technologies.

The effectiveness of filtration lies in not only that Nano Filter «AQUA VIVA» can potentially remove and adsorb all types of pollutants such as heavy metals, inorganic substances , organic substances and pathogenic microflora .

In addition to physically trapping contaminants and toxins in the process adsorption water filtration , CNTs have antimicrobial properties that help produce safe drinking water , purified and disinfected from viruses and bacteria.

See data from Yale University scientists USA via link.

Ability of adsorption material «ART CARBON» c CNT 99.99% effective filtering rotavirus from wastewater from the Prague sewerage plant was demonstrated by scientists from the Prague Chemical Technology Institute At the university. Their research data , which can be found here showed here that CNT material «ART CARBON» excellently destroys rotavirus A, even after a short exposure time.

The fact that CNTs are hydrophobic (slightly repel water molecules) allows water to pass through them at high speed and with very little energy expenditure . This effect was first described in 2006 [3] and confirmed in research by Czech scientists . The water molecules at the center of the CNT molecule will tend to be repelled from the walls and flow into the center, meaning that the water molecules are forced to flow through the center of the CNT in a single line without much friction or adhesion to either the molecular walls or other water molecules.

Due to the slight pressure gradient that primarily directs water into the CNT, this allows water to be filtered at high speed and low pressure.

Hydrogen bonds between water molecules facilitate this process, making it stable and repeatable. When using CNTs of the correct diameter, hydrophobic channels cause water to break into single-row chains, and entropic effects cause these chains to spontaneously flow to the other end of the channel, forming pure water on the far side.

The ability of CNTs to form oriented bundles with an extremely large surface area and a large number of channels makes this filtration method highly effective.

Filter made of absorption material «ART CARBON» with CNT small diameter, can be a good replacement for membrane filters in reverse osmosis systems.

OF ART CARBON ADSORPTION TECHNOLOGY PROCESS BEFORE REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY

• Nano Filters «ART CARBON» with Revolutionary Technology «ART CARBON PROCESS» do not require electricity and do not create flushing water At the same time, reverse osmosis technology requires powerful electric pumps to create high water pressure to force water molecules through the reverse osmosis membrane.
• For membrane filtration of 1 liter of tap water, up to 4 liters of rinsing water is required, which is discharged into the sewer. Frequent disinfection of membranes from microbial fouling with sodium hypochlorite solution and periodic washing of membranes with concentrated strong acids and alkalis are required. Disposal of acids and alkalis creates environmental problems and requires additional financial costs.
• «ART CARBON PROCESS» technology preserves natural minerals in the water, causing a pleasant taste of water and containing micro- and macroelements necessary for the human body.
• According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and ideal TDS for drinking water should be from 150 to 250 mg/l . In this TDS range, your water contains the optimal amount of beneficial micro and macro minerals for your health.
• The WHO recommends an ideal pH range for drinking water of 6.5 to 8.5 . While pH your water is in this range, everything is fine. Drinking water that is too alkaline or too acidic can be harmful to the body.
• Water with TDS < 100 is considered demineralized because it lacks some beneficial minerals required by the human body. Drinking such water can cause a number of long-term health problems.
• Reverse osmosis technology purifies water from impurities up to 98% and TDS can range from 15 to 100 mg/l. Reverse osmosis acidifies water to an acidic reaction, pH water can be from 4 to 6.
• Therefore, reverse osmosis water is passed through a mineralizing cartridge, usually with dolomite, to alkalize the water and add calcium and magnesium to the water and increase the TDS to 100 mg/l . In addition to calcium and magnesium, the human body also requires other useful elements such as potassium, lithium, selenium, etc. These elements are usually not present in the mineralizing cartridge.
• Large brands selling reverse osmosis systems recommend eating vegetables, herbs and fruits to replenish missing macro and microelements. But unfortunately, not every person in the world has the opportunity to buy environmentally friendly products, without treatment with fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, without heavy metals. So talking about the benefits of such products is more advertising and marketing.
• Natural minerals contained in natural water in ionic form are easily absorbed by the body and do not require additional energy for absorption, as from products.

CONCLUSION

Purification of natural waters polluted by humans everywhere on the planet is a global problem for humanity, the solution of which will determine the lives and future of millions of people in the coming decades XXI Century.

Revolutionary water filtration technology «ART CARBON PROCESS» on the base patented adsorbent material «ART CARBON» with carbon nanotubes , allows you to effectively filter water from impurities, with lower consumption of electricity and water.
