AQV Neos - Glass

• Glass tank (NEW)
  The collection tank of this model is made of glass. You can also choose a Neos with an abs (plastic) collection tank. A very durable plastic that does not give off BPA, phthalates or other toxic substances.
• Excellent filtering
  Comprehensive filtration through a ceramic pre-filter and a multi-step filter. As a result, GenX, heavy metals, drug residues, pesticides, chlorine and hormone residues, among others, are filtered out of the water by an average of 99%.
• Alkaline or non-alkaline
  When ordering you have the choice between a Redox filter or pH neutral filter.
  The Redox filter raises the pH of the water by 1 - 1.5 points to slightly alkaline (basic) water and gives the water a strong anti-oxidant effect.
  With the pH neutral filter, the water gets a pH of 7.3 on average.
• Convenience
  Effortlessly turns tap water into delicious filtered 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. Tap water in the Netherlands costs an average of €1.40 per 1,000 liters.
• Excellent taste
  The carbon also removes unpleasant odors and tastes from the water. As a result, experience the great taste of filtered water.
• Maintenance
  Monthly flush the IER filter with salt water. Change the filters once a year and the mineral stones once every three years.

• Calamity
  With the AQV Neos, you can turn rain or ditch water into drinking water, which is why these devices are very suitable in emergencies.

In nature, mineral-rich water is created as rainwater slowly percolates through various layers of soil. As a result, it is filtered and absorbs minerals and trace elements. The AQV water filtration systems also work according to this principle.

• Nature
  By using gravity, the filtering process in the AQV system mimics nature. Thus, no power is needed!
• Superior in filtering
  The AQV systems are demonstrably capable of filtering up to 99% of contaminants from the water. The performance level of AQV systems are therefore comparable or even superior to filtration in most other water systems that cost up to ten times the price and also require electricity. Turns tap, rain (barrel), river or ditch water into clear and healthy drinking water.

How it works

1st stage - the ceramic filter

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 multi-step filter

The Redox filter consists of activated carbon, magnesium pellets and various bio-ceramic pellets.

This filter filters chemicals, THMs (TriHaloMethane) heavy metals, chlorine, pesticides, hormone and drug residues from the water, among others.

The magnesium and bio ceramic pellets raise the pH of the water by an average of 1.5 pH point to slightly alkaline water and lower the ORP value.

There are no magnesium and bio ceramic beads in the pH neutral filter. The filtered water becomes neutral with a pH of about 7.3.

At the top of the multi-step filter is the IER (Ion Exchange Resin) filter. This filter contains an ion exchange resin.

3rd step - mineralizing

During the extensive filtering process, some of the minerals are filtered out of the water. At the bottom of the tank of filtered water are Elvan mineral stones.

Elvan is a special volcanic rock that occurs only in a few places on our earth. The Elvan stones in our water filter 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 the way our drinking water is pumped through pipes. Water in nature hits a rock or other unevenness in the river, falls down a waterfall or is propelled through a curve. 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 action, 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.
