How It Works

The filter bed is made up of four layers of inert natural media that have an increasing density, a decreasing particle size and specific shape factor.

The media has a naturally high positive charge where as micro-organisms such as cryptosporidium & legionella are negatively charged, this ‘Zeta Potential’ enhances the highly effective mechanical filtration with surface adsorption to remove up to 99.95% of the offending bacteria.

As indicated in the chart below, the Spruce Filter™ is a real alternative to membrane systems within the micro filtration range.

The Spruce Filter™ may be used as a filter in its’ own right, a pre-treatment to membrane filters and a polishing filter for end of pipe solutions.
