🎨 My filter replacement came out white, unlike many of my acquaintances who have your system, which comes out dirty after a year of use. Why does this happen?

The issue of filter cleanliness after prolonged use is a common topic of discussion among users of water filtration systems. At Camelot®, our filters are designed to provide the highest quality water while ensuring the safety and health of our consumers.

🧪 Natural Special Membranes and Filter Function

The replacement filter Imperial® features multiple specialized natural membranes ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 microns that are designed to capture solid particles such as rust, sludge, dirt, and other suspended particles, according to micron size. These membranes are essential for ensuring the purity of the water that reaches your glass. An additional indication of the effectiveness of these membranes is that they act as a first line of defense before the water reaches the activated carbon, increasing its lifespan and performance.

🏠 Quality and Composition of the Tubes

One factor that may explain why your filter remains white after a year of use is the quality and condition of the plumbing in your home. If your pipes are made of plastic and are new, they are less likely to release rust and other impurities into the water. This means that your filter does not have to combat as many pollutants, resulting in it staying cleaner on the outside. In older homes with iron plumbing, external staining due to oxidation and corrosion of the metal is more common.

🌿 Active Charcoal

Although the outer membranes of the filter may appear clean, most hazardous chemicals are colorless and therefore cannot be detected by the naked eye. This is where the role of activated carbon contained within the Imperial® filter comes in. The 850-gram activated carbon Imperial® made from high-quality coconut is extremely effective in removing all chemical compounds, such as chlorine, organic compounds, and other harmful chemicals that may be present in your water. This carbon is certified to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53, providing proof of its effectiveness in improving taste/odor and removing harmful contaminants.

📏 Comparison of Carbon Quantities

In the Imperial® Plus filters, concentrated active pharmaceutical carbon 850 grams is used, while in the Imperial® Maximum this amount rises to 1200 grams. This quantity is significantly larger compared to competitive filters on the market, which often contain only 30, 80, or 120 grams of activated carbon. This high degree of concentration in the Imperial® ensures that the filter can effectively remove harmful chemicals for a longer time and in greater quantity and efficiency. Thus, in 6 seconds, we can have one liter of the purest water.

📌 Conclusions

The difference in the condition of your filter compared to that of your acquaintances may be due to many factors, such as the quality of the pipes that carry water to your home, the quality of the water entering the filter, and the amount of impurities that your filter retains. The fact that your filter appears clean does not mean that it is not functioning properly or that it is not removing harmful chemicals from your water, or that you can change it later than the designated replacement date. On the contrary, it may mean that your water supply system is in better condition, allowing the filter to maintain its cleanliness externally.

However, the most important function of the filter is the removal of invisible hazardous chemicals, and this is achieved through the high-quality and high-quantity activated pharmaceutical carbon contained within the Imperial®. Therefore, even if your filter appears clean, it effectively does its job and provides you with clean and safe water by retaining the chemicals. The materials used in the filters of Camelot® are designed to be effective for an entire year. After this time, according to the manufacturer’s specifications, the filter should be replaced with a new one. Proactive replacement, even if the filter appears clean, is essential for maintaining absolute protection against chemical pollutants such as chlorine, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds.
