🧬 Does the Imperial® Plus filter remove pharmaceutical residues and microplastics from water?
The answer is Yes, the Imperial® Plus filter from Camelot® is specifically designed to provide the highest level of protection and effective removal of both pharmaceutical residues and microplastics that may be present in drinking water. Its capability is due to a series of technologically advanced features and certified filtration stages, making it one of the most reliable options in the field of household filters.
🧪 How does Imperial® Plus remove medications?
Today, in all areas, even tap water contains residues of pharmaceutical substances, such as antibiotics, hormones, anti-inflammatories, painkillers, and many others. These may come from human use, from veterinary medicines, agriculture, or even from waste that is returned to the water supply network without complete treatment.
The Imperial® Plus filter includes an advanced activated carbon cartridge, manufactured with specialized compression technology (carbon block), which ensures:
- Maximum contact area with water (over 3,000 sq.m./gr.)
- Enhanced porosity, capable of binding organic microparticles and chemical residues
- Retention capacity of drugs, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
In addition, the filter undergoes strict testing and carries international certifications (NSF, WQA) that confirm its ability to remove over 95% of specific pharmaceutical residues.
🧼 How does it remove microplastics?
Microplastics are invisible pollutants that come from the wear and tear of plastic items and are now found in all environments — even in tap drinking water. Recent studies have shown the presence of thousands of microplastic particles per liter, even in cities with seemingly good networks.
The Imperial® Plus features a porous filter of 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, or even 0.1 micron, depending on the version chosen by the consumer. These diameters are multiple times smaller than the size of most microplastics, which range from 1 to 500 microns.
👉 This means that:
- Microplastics naturally are retained in the structure of the filter
- They are not allowed to pass through the clean water outlet.
- The kidneys, liver, and the entire intestinal system are protected by their consumption.
🛡️ Why is the removal of these substances so important?
The chronic consumption of water that contains drugs or microplastics, even in small amounts, has been linked to long-term health effects:
- Ορμονικές διαταραχές και προβλήματα στο ενδοκρινικό σύστημα
- Microbial resistance to antibiotics
- Toxin accumulation in the body
- Effects on the reproductive system and on sensitive organisms such as children and embryos
By using a certified water filter Camelot® such as Imperial® Plus, the consumer can have complete confidence that they are protecting their health and that of their family from invisible but extremely dangerous pollutants.
✅ Final conclusion
The Imperial® Plus yes, removes both medications and microplastics from tap water. It is certified, safe, and technologically advanced, while combining:
- 99%+ yield in organic and chemical compounds
