How do you filter water?

Water filtration can be essential for ensuring the purity of the water we consume. There are various methods available for filtering water, each with its own set of advantages and limitations. Some common methods include activated carbon filters, nanofiltration, and ultrafiltration, all of which are effective in reducing different types of contaminants in water. However, in this article, we will focus on Aquaporin’s technology, specifically highlighting the Aquaporin A2O Pure water purifier, which stands out due to its innovative use of Aquaporin Inside® technology. This advanced method leverages the natural properties of aquaporin proteins to provide a highly efficient and effective water filtration solution for households.

Different methods of water filtration

There are various methods available for filtering water, each with unique advantages. Natural filtration uses layers of sand, gravel, and activated carbon to remove sediment and organic materials. Coal filtration, or activated carbon filtration, eliminates chlorine, improves taste and odor, and captures VOCs and other chemicals. Nanofiltration uses nanometer-sized pores to reduce divalent ions and heavy metals, offering high contaminant reduction but requiring significant maintenance. Ultrafiltration employs slightly larger pores to reduce bacteria, viruses, and suspended solids, providing comprehensive purification. Aquaporin’s A2O Pure water purifier stands out by leveraging both activated carbon filtration and natural aquaporin proteins for highly efficient and selective water filtration, making it an optimal choice for household use.

The science behind the Aquaporin technology

Aquaporin proteins are naturally occurring in all living cells and act as highly selective water channels. These proteins facilitate rapid and selective transport of water molecules while blocking contaminants. The Aquaporin Inside® technology used in the A2O Pure water purifier mimics this natural process to achieve excellent water filtration.

1. Selective water transport:
   • How it works: Aquaporin proteins embedded in the membranes of the A2O Pure system create a natural filtration pathway. These proteins selectively allow water molecules to pass through while blocking a wide range of contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and chemical pollutants.
   • Advantages: This selective transport allows water molecules to pass through, thereby significantly reducing contaminants and resulting in high-quality drinking water.
2. High efficiency:
   • Efficiency: The exceptional efficiency of the Aquaporin Inside® products enable excellent flow rates. This results in faster and more efficient water filtration, across applications.
3. Innovative membrane design:
   • Membrane technology: Unlike traditional synthetic water filtration membranes, which are dense polymeric sheets with micron-to-nanometer-sized holes that only allow very small particles to pass through, the membranes used in the A2O Pure water purifier utilize Aquaporin Inside® technology. These membranes harness nature's capability for selective molecule transport by mimicking the exterior of a cell, embedding aquaporin proteins within a stabilizing membrane layer. This specialized natural architecture allows water to pass through more quickly and selectively.
   • Durability: The advanced design and high-quality materials used in Aquaporin's membranes ensure long-lasting performance and durability.
