AQV 12 Glass Water Filter

The Glass AQV 12 is a 4-in-1 water system that filters tap water, mineralizes, vitalizes and also makes the water alkaline (alkaline). In other words, crystal clear and healthy drinking water in no time.

 

279.00 - 289.00

With a capacity of the lower tank (where the filtered water enters) of 8 liters, this is an ideal water filter for a family with 2 to 3 people who also want to cook with the water. For 1 and 2 person households who only want to drink water and make coffee and tea with it, the AQV 5 is also an option. For families with 4 or more people, the AQV 18 or the Neos is a better option.

AQV 12 Water filter glass

The AQV 12 is a 4-in-1 water system that filters tap water, mineralizes, vitalizes and also makes the water alkaline (alkaline). In other words, crystal clear and healthy drinking water in no time.

The AQV (Aqua vital) is available for small and large households, practices and gyms (available in 5 liters, 10 liters or 12 liters), can be placed anywhere without electricity or a water connection, has an excellent price/quality ratio and is of course free of harmful substances such as bpa and phthalates.

AQV 12 Water Filter - The Benefits

  • Glass collection tank
    The water filter tank is made in a small artisanal glass blowing factory in South Korea. The beautiful blue glass filters UV light.
  • Excellent filtration
    Filters deeply through ceramic filter and multi-step filter cartridge.
  • Alkaline or pH neutral
    With the separate pH ring, you have the choice of increasing the pH of the filtered water by 1 to 1.5 pH points to slightly alkaline water. If you do not use the ring, the water becomes pH neutral with a pH of around 7.3.
  • Convenience
    Effortlessly turns tap water into delicious mineral water, no more lugging water bottles around. Can be placed anywhere (no electricity or water connection required).
  • Savings
    Save on the high cost of bottled water and save the environment.
  • Excellent taste
    Because chlorine, drug residues, pesticides and other contaminants have been effectively removed, unpleasant odors are gone and minerals have been added to the water. Now you know again the taste of deliciously fresh spring water.
  • Low maintenance
    Only change the filters once a year and the mineral stones once every three years, otherwise maintenance-free.

AQV 12 Water Filter - Technology

Mineral spring water as we know it in the Netherlands is created by rainwater slowly percolating through various soil layers. This filters it, absorbing important minerals and trace elements. Simply put, this water system mimics nature.

  • Nature
    AQV's water technology mimics water in nature to return water to its original form.
  • Good filter quality
    AQV is proven capable of high-quality filtration, including for GenX, chlorine, chloramine, drugs, hormones, pesticides, chemicals, mercury and volatile organic compounds.

How it works

1st stage - the ceramic filter

 Ceramic filter - Tradeline

This filter is located in the filling tank and has a fineness of 0.2 microns (0.0002 mm). With this pre-filter you already remove much of the contamination from the water including bacteria, undissolved calcium and magnesium particles. The water slowly passes through the filter and then trickles into the multi-step filter.

2nd step - the new generation multi-step filter

The composition of this new generation multi-step filter was developed especially for the AQV products.

1st coat
High quality, silver impregnated, 30X60 type activated carbon with high uptake.

2nd layer
Zeolite pellets. Environmentally friendly pellets with high adsorption value, filters chlorine compounds such as trihalomethane from the water and various heavy metals, softens the water.

3rd layer
Silica and combo beads. The balls are a combination of various substances including Tourmaline, Zeolite and Kaolin. They have a redox function and anti-bacteriological effect.

4th layer
Illite combo balls. Emit a far infrared frequency of 9.23 micrometers. This frequency vibrates in the same frequency as the human body. This activates cells, stimulates and increases micro blood circulation. They soften the water to a pH of about 7.5. Furthermore, they also have an anti-bacteriological effect.

5th layer
Clay balls. Increase oxygen uptake in the blood and improve metabolism.

3rd step - making it alkaline/basic with the pH ring

pH ring

When you order, this is a choice. If you choose the alkaline version, the system comes with a pH ring. This ring is filled with magnetite beads, tourmaline beads, alkaline beads and magnesium beads. The ring increases the pH of the filtered water by an average of 1 - 1.5 pH point to slightly alkaline water. So how high the pH of the water becomes depends on your tap water.

4th step - mineralizing

Aqualine mineral stones

During the extensive filtering process, some of the minerals are filtered out of the water. In the lower tank are Elvan mineral stones. A special volcanic rock which only occurs in a few places on our earth. The Elvan stones in the AQV systems come from South Korea. These porous stones contain 18 different minerals that are slowly released into the filtered water. The amounts released in the process are similar to the minerals found in natural water. Some of these Elvan stones are impregnated with silver. This allows no bacterial action to take place in the stagnant water. This allows the water to keep for weeks.

5th phase - vitalizing

Vitalization is a special process that mimics nature. Water in nature will never move in a straight line like our drinking water is pumped through pipes. The water in nature meets a stone or another uneven river, falls down a waterfall or is propelled through a bend. In this process, the water is put into a vortex where the water molecules (H20) are given a nice structure by hydrogen bonds. The magnetic tap contains 4 different magnets of 1200 Gauss. The plus and minus of these magnets lie alternately. This creates a vortex similar to what happens in nature. Due to the magnetic effect, smaller clusters of the water molecules are created.

Vitalization is a process commonly used in horticulture. Without adding or removing any substance, the vitalized water has a beneficial effect on plant growth.

AQV 12 Water Filter - Maintenance

The AQV is very low maintenance. Both filters are replaced annually and the mineral stones only every 3 years. Except for filter replacement, this 4-in-1 water system requires no maintenance.

    • Multi-stage filter
      Replace after 1 year or sooner if 2,000 liters have already been filtered.
    • pH ring
      Replace after 1 year or sooner if 2,000 liters have already been filtered.
    • Ceramic filter
      Replace after 1 year or sooner if 2,000 liters have already been filtered.
    • Mineral stones
      Replace after 3 years.

Worried about bacteria forming in the water? No need to be! Because part of the stones are treated with silver, there is no bacterial action in the water, so you always have fresh water.
