Ceramic / Ion Exchange
Activated Carbon
Hollow Fibre Membrane
Cleansui’s core technology! See the next page
The special ceramic filter removes soluble lead, apart from other contaminants. (Insoluble lead can be removed by the hollow fibre membrane filter.)
The activated carbon filter reduces unpleasant odors, chlorine and mould (2-MIB) from your drinking water. It also successfully removes pesticides, herbicides, CAT, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) such as total trihalomethanes (chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, bromoform), tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, etc.

What can Hollow Fibre Membrane do?
High Removal Performance High removal of particle, micro-organisms and rust in tap water that are more than 0.1 microns is made possible by the wall of the hollow fibre membrane (polyethylene).
For removing cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium is about 4 to 6 microns. The hollow fibre membrane filter can effectively remove particles that are more than 0.1 microns. What is cryptosporidium? It is a pathological micro-organism. If infected and proliferated in the small intestine it will cause abdominal pain, fever and acute diarrhea. Normal chlorine disinfection which is carried out in a water treatment plant is unable to eliminate this micro-organism.
For removing rust It effectively removes rust (solid rust) that is seen in many of the pipes in old buildings.

Mitsubishi Rayon’s membrane (Polyethylene)
Competitor's membrane (Polysulfone)
Does not easily clog The hollow fibre membrane has a mesh structure hence it is possible to filter through not only the wall but inside the filter. The secret of not easily clogging lies in the structure of the hollow fibre membrane compared with other competitor's products.
