The UNI 3 spare cartridges are perfectly interchangeable and can be fitted indifferently to both Classic and Silver models of drinking water filters.

The duration of the filter cartridges is subject to the characteristics and quantity of water to be filtered, but it must not exceed 3 months. Anyway the recurrence of the unpleasant taste shows that the filtering action is running out.

The first time a new cartridge is used and when the water filter remains inactive for more than 48 hours, wash the active carbon by running at least two liters of water. It is advisable never to let flow hot water through the cartridge.

The practical and economical 4-cartridge package covers the need for one year of use.

The domestic equipment for the treatment of drinking water is not a  purifier but a water filter, capable of improving the organoleptic characteristics (smells, tastes, etc.) of aqueduct waters that already meet the chemical – physical and microbiological law requirements.

Since chlorination is the system used for the disinfection of water intended for human consumption, one of its problem is the formation of “chloro-compounds", known to release bad smells and flavours to the potable water. The version A spare cartridge resolves the above-mentioned problems, while the B version (Water filter + Water Softener) reduces, in addition, the limescale.

The activated carbon used in UNI3 Water filters and their spare cartridges is treated (according to law regulations) in order to avoid the proliferation of bacterial flora in case of prolonged non-use.

In the upper part of the cartridge, a flow regulator lets the optimum quantity of water flow pass so that the active carbon action is fully exploited.

In fact the more slowly the water flows, the more effective the active carbon action is.

Inside the cartridge, the reduced flow is redistributed uniformly by a mechanical filter over the entire carbon surface (50g), in order to optimize filtering.

The flow of water from top to bottom takes full advantage of the entire volume of the carbon, allowing it to absorb impurities and chlorine in a homogeneous and effective way.

The funnel-shaped cartridge facilitates the slow passage inside the carbon, directing the flow into a second smaller stainless steel filter which retains any residual solid impurities.
