RivaALVA-S EM Replacement Cartridge Faucet Filter

Description
The RivaALVA-S EM filter cartridge is a sintered 10 µm activated carbon block filter that has been enriched with EM ceramic powder during production. EM stands for effective microorganisms. The EM ceramic is made from a specially fired clay that contains organic material from millions of years old plants. This material serves as food for the effective microorganisms during the several-month fermentation process. EM ceramic contributes to reducing the surface tension of water and minimizing cluster structures.

The filter cartridge is food-safe and is produced in Germany in an environmentally friendly manner from renewable raw materials.

Contaminant Retention
Contaminant retention occurs through three principles of activated carbon:
1. The filter fineness of 10 µm retains particles larger than the filter pores, including suspended particles, rust particles, and microplastics.
2. Through catalytic action, certain substances such as chlorine and chlorine compounds can be transformed, so they no longer exist in their original form.
3. Through adsorptive action, additional contaminants can be absorbed. These adhere directly to the activated carbon and remain there. Organic compounds such as pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, heavy metals like lead and copper, pharmaceutical residues, hormones, and taste-altering substances can be retained.

Flow Rate: approx. 6-10 liters per minute at 3 bar
Filter Fineness: approx. 10 µm
Dimensions: 7 x 7 cm

Usage Duration
We recommend replacing the cartridge every 4 months. The filter cartridge must be replaced after 6 months (according to DIN 1988). The recommended maximum throughput is 7000 liters.
