Our filtration solutions are tested in various contexts to evaluate their effectiveness on real water from varied sources representative of everyday use.

The main water issues today

Pollutants in our tap water

The PFAS scandal in France reveals worrying contamination of drinking water by persistent chemical substances, mainly PFOA, far exceeding regulatory thresholds. These pollutants are linked to past industrial practices, notably discharges from factories.

Image
The hundreds of plastic bottles

In France, approximately 15 billion plastic bottles are consumed each year, representing a significant portion of plastic waste. However, only 27% of this waste is recycled, while the majority is incinerated or sent to landfills.

Image
Potential health risks

Contaminants in tap water in France, such as nitrates and pesticides, can have serious effects on human health. This includes gastroenteritis, neurological disorders, cancers, and respiratory problems. Prolonged exposure to these substances can lead to hormonal disruptions and increased risks of chronic diseases.

Stainless steel pre-filtration

Some of our solutions are equipped with precision stainless steel filters of 25/50/80 microns, allowing for the retention of initial micro-contaminants

02

Activated carbon

Thanks to the active elements in the carbon, we are able to reduce the taste and odor in your water

03

High-precision filtration

Our technology combines 0.1-micron hollow fibers with electro-adsorption to capture contaminants, including ultrafine particles down to viruses of 0.001 microns: bacteria, viruses, pesticides, PFAS, and heavy metals.

What are we filtering?

Focus on our filtration performance, validated by independent laboratories.

Microbiology
-99.9%
  • Escherichia coli (fecal indicator bacteria): >80 /100 mL in raw water → 0 /100 mL after filtration (standard: 0) → 100% removal
  • Total coliforms (contamination indicators) : >80 /100 mL in raw water → 0 /100 mL after filtration (standard: 0) → 100% removal
  • Intestinal enterococci (fecal contamination) : >80 /100 mL in raw water → 0 /100 mL after filtration (standard: 0) → 100% removal
  • Salmonella spp (pathogenic bacteria) : present in raw water → absent after filtration (standard: absence) → 100% removal
  • Sulfite-reducing anaerobic spores (persistent contamination) : present in raw water → not detected after filtration → 100% removal
