What type of filter is used in the Ionizer Plus?
The Ionizer Plus utilizes granular activated carbon to absorb chlorine and chemicals. It utilizes another carbon stage to absorb lead. It has a 0.1 micron membrane filter that will block anything larger than 0.1 micron — that includes all bacteria. The filter is good for 6000 liters before requiring replacement, unless you have a lot of sediment in your water (i.e. from shallow wells). In that case, we suggest you pre-filter your water. 6,000 liters will last the average family of four about one year based on usage of 4.3 gallons of water per day. The Ionizer Plus features a digital meter that monitors the exact amount of water that has been processed through the filter. Audible and visual indicators will inform you when it is time to replace the filter. The digital meter retains its value even when unplugged. A filter change takes only about a minute.
