BMB 1000 Pro Nano - Full Set Filter Cartridges

Filter Cartridge Specifications:

1^st Stage: Antibacterial 5 Micron Sediment

The two-stage filter is made from nano zinc powder infused, NSF certified polypropylene fibres. The fibres have a +97% efficiency of filtering particles that are 5 microns or larger while the nano zinc powder acts as an antibacterial agent for any microorganisms in the incoming water supply. Although zinc is an element that humans cannot live without, it is lethal to microorganisms such as bacteria, virus, algae, fungi, etc.

Contaminants Reduced or Removed:

Sediment, particles, dust, rust, iron, manganese, microorganisms (bacteria, algae, fungi, etc.)

2^nd Stage: Sediment + Coconut Shell CTO Carbon Block

The two-stage filter is made from NSF Certified Coconut Shell Carbon, which has a very high capacity to reduce taste and odour compared to charcoal filters. The carbon block filter is also wrapped in a microporous cloth which not only filters sediment but also protects the honeycomb style pores of the carbon from particles, so their filter capacity is used on contaminants such as chlorine as opposed to dirt. To increase the adsorption process further, the carbon is treated with nitrogen to make it “activated”. This attracts the contaminants into the pores and makes sure they stay there.

Contaminants Reduced or Removed:

Chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, herbicides, nitrate, phosphate, lithium, pharmaceuticals, micro-plastics, arsenic, asbestos, lead, zinc, copper, mercury and other heavy metals.

3^rd Stage: KDF + Silver Impregnated Coconut Shell GAC Carbon

The three-stage filter is made from NSF certified KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) Media and NSF Certified Silver Impregnated Coconut Shell Granule Activated Carbon (GAC). The KDF media is a high-purity copper-zinc media that filters contaminants in water using an oxidation/reduction (redox) process. The nano silver impregnated Coconut Shell Granule Activated Carbon (GAC) is a two-stage media that not only filters common contaminants found in water supplies such as chlorine, but also kills bacteria and reduces taste and odour. Each granule is impregnated with silver and, unlike standard GAC carbon which can promote bacteria growth, the silver will not only prevent the growth of bacteria but also aids in killing them.

Contaminants Reduced or Removed:

Chlorine, hydrogen sulphide, calcium carbonate, magnesium, chloramine, pesticides, herbicides, nitrate, phosphate, lithium, pharmaceuticals, micro-plastics, arsenic, asbestos, heavy metals (lead, zinc, copper, mercury, iron, chromium, etc.) and microorganisms (bacteria, algae, fungi, etc.).

4^th Stage: Anti-Scale & Anti-Corrosion

This water filter is made from harmless polyphosphate mineral (siliphos), which is gradually released into the filtered water to form a very thin layer of film on water contact surfaces such as: pipes, heating elements, shower, kitchen, etc. This thin layer prevents the limescale (scale) found in hard water from depositing on these surfaces by repelling scale-forming molecules as well as coating them to prevent scaling further downstream. The film also protects surfaces from corrosion because it blocks molecules containing oxygen, which leads to oxidation, which leads to rust and corrosion.
