NanoFilter

Description

The NanoFilter is a 3-part filtration system capable of removing bacteria, microorganisms and harmful heavy metals. The first part of the filter is a slow sand filter which removes the microorganisms. The second part is patented and is acombination of nanomaterials made from sodium silicate and silver to eliminate toxic heavy metals such as copper, fluoride, or other chemical contaminants depending on a particular geographical area. The third part is a micron hollow fibre membrane. It then absorbs all the contaminants leaving water very clean and safe and can later be removed manually.
