About Gravity Water Filters
About Gravity Water Filters
Water is a vital component of life, and remaining properly hydrated is a foundation of personal wellness. Drinking water daily promotes cardiovascular health, regulates body temperature and improves skin elasticity, among other benefits. And while drinking tap water eliminates the costs and health risks of bottled water, as well as the environmental impact of single-use plastic on the environment, the water coming from your faucet may contain more than just H20 alone – including potentially harmful contaminants.
Your tap water likely travels through miles of pipeline to reach your home, and these pipes frequently contain accumulations of contaminants. Public water is often disinfected with chemicals that can result in carcinogenic byproducts in your drinking water. Additionally, increasing frequency of natural disasters due to climate change is resulting in more pollutants seeping into our water systems than ever before. These potentially harmful contaminants are increasingly ending up in our tap water.
The EPA regulates more than 80 contaminants which have been proven to pose a health risk, but are still legal to exist in trace amounts. However, there’s an increasing number of new and emerging contaminants which aren’t yet regulated, and may cause health concerns.
Additionally, the environmental impact of billions of plastic water bottles discarded each year has resulted in consumers seeking more environmentally-conscious alternatives to water bottled in wasteful plastics.
Filtering your water at home is a more environmentally-friendly method for ensuring your family has access to clean, drinkable water from the tap. While under-the-counter water filter systems are a popular and efficient solution, they’re more costly than counter top gravity water filters, and involve installation procedures that can be tedious.
Gravity filters for water use the force of gravity to reduce contaminants from water, without relying on plumbing or electricity to function. When the reservoir is filled, the weight of the water feeds the liquid through the filters, into a tank beneath the filtration system.
Water is added to the gravity water filter’s upper chamber and flows down through the filter’s microscopic pores, which prevent the contaminants and other pollutants from passing through it as well as being absorbed within the inner core granular media. This leaves only clean drinkable water to descend into the lower chamber.
There are various options when choosing a gravity water filter to suit different needs.
Water Filter Pitchers are designed for home use, with a convenient pitcher container most suitable for small families and individuals. It fits easily in the refrigerator, and reduces contaminants such as Lead, heavy metals, chlorine, Chloramines, Fluoride and many more which can significantly improve the taste and smell of your drinking water.
ProOne’s Water Filter Pitcher uses an advanced gravity filter technology instead of the traditional “pour through” filter, allowing a greater reduction of contaminants in your drinking water. In traditional water filter pitchers, the filter sits in the filtered water, potentially allowing cross-contamination of your drinking water. The unique design of the ProOne Water filter pitcher positions the filter upright in the container, out of the filtered water, eliminating the potential for cross-contamination and ensuring the purest possible drinking water.
Offering a 54-oz filtered water storage capacity, ProOne’s Water Filter Pitcher is made from BPA and BPS free food grade materials and includes a removable fruit/vegetable infusion tube. The ProOne G2.0 filters have an infused bacteriostatic outer ceramic shell and proprietary carbon-based granular media inside the core of the filter. The ProOne G2.0 M filter is independently lab-tested and proven to reduce 200+ contaminants including fluoride, chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, pharmaceuticals, lead, and heavy metals, while leaving in beneficial minerals in tap water. The ProOne G2.0M filter is NSF/ANSI-42 component certified for quality assurance.
Countertop Water Filters are highly popular among families and workplaces due to their versatility, ease of use and reduction of plastic waste. The point-of-use water filtration system purifies water by removing contaminants such as chemicals and parasites. Countertop gravity filter models are often preferred because they’re lightweight, easy to install, and don’t require excess space for operation. Many countertop water filters attach directly to your faucet, while others are portable, gravity fed water filter units that can be easily transported.
ProOne Traveler+ Gravity Water Filter is ideal for daily use, with a 2.25 gallon capacity reservoir that’s perfect for families at home or on the go. ProOne’s unique countertop filtration system uses ProOne G2.0 filter technology to bring you clean drinking water while reducing/removing 200+ contaminants.
A simple setup with no electricity or plumbing required, the Traveler+ Gravity Water Filter’s exclusive design makes it easy to lift the upper container to view how much water is in the lower container. The device is made from 304 stainless steel for long lasting durability, and also includes a stainless 304 spigot, a non-slip pad and a stainless steel rack making your ProOne filtered water easily accessible.
ProOne Big+ Gravity Water Filter is perfect for groups of 4 or more, offering a 3 gallon storage capacity to suit your daily water consumption needs whether at home or at the office. Considerably larger than the ProOne Traveler+, its exclusive design makes it easy to view how much water is in the lower container simply by lifting the upper container. The sleek stainless steel housing allows the Big+ to mirror its environment to perfectly adapt to its surroundings. The ProOne Big+ includes a stainless 304 spigot, non-slip pad and a stainless steel rack making your ProOne filtered water easily accessible.
ProOne Big II Gravity Water Filter is recommended for 2-4 persons, and perfect for either home/office use or hassle-free transport to little league games, camping adventures and beyond. The translucent design lets you know how much water is in the container at a glance, with a capacity of 3 gallons of water.
The Big II is available in a gorgeous blue, and is made from heavy duty BPA, BPS & BPF Free plastic for long lasting durability and lightweight in design. It includes a BPA Free plastic spigot and carrying bag.
Portable water filtration devices are ideal for outdoor adventures, travel and emergency preparedness. When you’re hiking or camping, few things are more critical to your well-being than safe water sources. Sight, smell and taste alone are poor indicators of water quality in outdoor settings. Streams, ponds, and other freshwater bodies are often host to a wide assortment of bacteria, parasites and other pathogens, invisible to the naked eye, which could cause life-threatening illnesses.
Scout II Portable Water Filter featuring ProOne G2.0 filter technology and treatment method provides a great option for clean water on the go without the need for purification tablets or chemical treatment. Made of durable BPA, BPS & BPF-free plastic, the Scout II Portable Water Filter reduces viruses and other common parasites like giardia from your water supply, leaving you with safe, potable water for camping or backpacking.
The device is lightweight, easy to disassemble and transport, with a nested size of 9.25” x 5” (in use, it extends to 14” x 5”). It holds a generous 1.5 liters of water (54oz.). Includes a carrying bag for easy transport.
The Scout II is equipped with the ProOne® G2.0 Prepper ceramic filter, NSF/ANSI-42 component certified and independent lab tested to reduce over 200 contaminants including lead and other heavy metals, chloramines, VOC’s, fluoride and more.
