Which filter granules can I use with the Aarke Water Purifier and what are they made of?Updated 3 hours ago
There are two types of filter granules designed exclusively for use with the Aarke Water Purifier:
Pure Filter Granules – focus on reducing heavy metals, limescale, and substances that affect taste and odor.
Enriched Filter Granules – provide the same filtration benefits as the Pure granules but also add magnesium and raise the pH, creating alkaline water.
Both types are developed in collaboration with BWT, a global leader in water purification technology.
What are the Pure Filter Granules made of?
The Pure Filter Granules contain:
Ion exchange resin – reduces limescale and heavy metals such as lead and copper.
Activated carbon – reduces substances that affect taste and smell, such as chlorine.
These granules are designed for optimal performance with the Aarke Water Purifier.
What about the Enriched Filter Granules?
The Enriched Filter Granules contain:
Ion exchange resin – removes heavy metals like lead and copper.
Activated carbon – improves taste by reducing chlorine.
Magnesium-enriching mineral – adds magnesium and raises the pH, making your water alkaline.
They are compatible with the Aarke Water Purifier and ideal for users who prefer enhanced mineral content in their drinking water.
What is ion exchange resin and why is it used?
Ion exchange resin is made from polyacrylate, a type of synthetic plastic that forms small, solid grains. These grains:
Attract and exchange ions to reduce limescale and heavy metals.
Are essential for removing substances such as lead, copper, and limescale.
Filters that do not contain ion exchange resin can improve taste but cannot remove many common tap water contaminants. The Aarke Water Purifier, together with its granules, is engineered to do both — improve taste and purify.
Who makes the filter granules, and are they tested?
Yes. The filter granules are developed in partnership with BWT, one of the world’s leading water technology companies.
The Aarke Water Purifier and its filter granules are:
Tested and certified by TÜV SÜD
Compliant with NSF standards
This ensures a high level of safety, quality, and filtration performance.
