The Vellamo under-sink water filter uses a replaceable filter cartridge that includes both a carbon membrane wrap for activated carbon filtering, and phosphate beads to reduce scale and water hardness through sequestration. If you’re like us and love a funky video to show you exactly what we’re talking about, you’re in luck! Take a peek at the video below. People are often skeptical of drinking from their kitchen or bathroom taps for fear of ingesting some unpleasant unknowns (and rightfully so), so why not put your mind at ease and get your hands on a tap filter that means you’ll never have to worry about those darned particulates again? The Vellamo filter kit also includes phosphate beads to reduce scale and water hardness through sequestration. Carbon filtering removes chlorine and prevents THMs from forming. THMs have been found to cause cancer in laboratory animals, and are created when chlorine reacts with other organic and inorganic compounds found in water. It is also the only filter type to remove all 32 identified organic contaminants including THMs (a carcinogenic by-product of chlorine), and all 14 listed pesticides and 12 herbicides. It is this massive surface area that makes active carbon filters so incredibly effective in removing nasty contaminants and other substances from water.Īccording to the EPA (the Environmental Protection Agency in the USA), active carbon is very effective in removing at least 81 chemicals, effective in another 30, and moderately effective for 22 more. 4 grams is equivalent to a football pitch. Just one gram of activated carbon has a surface area of 500-3000m2. So what does the filter actually… filter? Well, the Vellamo filter removes impurities including chlorine, VOCs, herbicides and pesticides, whilst also improving the taste of your water and reducing limescale build-up.
