Firstly, let’s explain what activated carbon is. Carbon is a fine, odourless, tasteless and non-toxic substance in the form of powder. It is produced from bamboo, charcoal, wood, coconut bark, olive kernels, or sawdust. Activated carbon is similar to ordinary coal, but it is processed in a way that allows it to have an extremely porous surface. Due to this treatment it can bind various substances coming in contact with it, both in liquid and gaseous form. Activated carbon produced from coconut bark is the most environmentally friendly carbon.

This powder (activated carbon) is placed in a plastic cartridge, thus creating an activated carbon water filter. A key feature of the activated carbon water filters is that they combat problems such as turbidity, asbestos fibres, mud, stones, chlorine and micro-organisms and completely remove the unpleasant taste and odour of the water from the mains.

STUDIOLIFE manufactures silver-enriched activated carbon filters, which combat the growth of germs and easily address all the problems that may exist in major urban cities, such as can be found in Athens.

Firstly, let us explain what reverse osmosis is. This water filtration method is universally accepted as the most effective way of dealing with all water problems. This method is also used by desalination plants. By exerting pressure, water passes through the reverse osmosis membrane and is separated into a denser and a thinner solution. The denser solution is discharged into the sewage and the thinner solution is ready for drinking.

Reverse osmosis filters effectively address chlorine, turbidity, suspended solids (mud, stones, soil, asbestos fibres, rust), organic compounds (trihalomethanes, pesticides, volatile compounds that give a bad taste and odour to water), micro-organisms, salts, ions (nitrites, nitrates, calcium and magnesium salts – so-called hard water), heavy metals (iron, manganese, chromium, lead, arsenic, mercury) etc.
