What Contaminants does the Tap Water Filter Remove?Updated 2 months ago
The Tap Water Filter and EcoPro water filters have been independently tested and certified to remove several contaminants from tap water. These filters employ advanced 5-stage filtration technology to ensure microbiologically safe and clean water. Below is a detailed table highlighting the specific contaminants removed and their percentage reduction.
