APLOS Clear: 2-in-1 Drinking Water Filter Kit

APLOS Clear is a compact DIY solution designed to improve the quality of your drinking water right under the sink. It features a 2-in-1 filter with a 0.5-micron carbon block and a 5-micron sediment cotton cartridge.

This filter efficiently removes sediments, sand, silt, rust, chlorine, unpleasant tastes, and odours, while also reducing lead, total organic carbon (TOC), and organic matter from tap water.

Stage 1:

Uses a 5-micron sediment cotton cartridge that is designed to remove particles and impurities from water. These cartridges are typically made from cotton, which is wound around a core to create a dense filter medium.  The primary function of this is to act as a pre-filter, removing larger particles before the water undergoes further purification processes via the 0.5 micron carbon block.

Stage 2:

Consisting of a 0.5 micron carbon block that uses activated carbon to remove contaminants from water. The “0.5 micron” rating indicates the size of the particles the filter can remove; in this case, it can filter out particles as small as 0.5 microns.
