Hollow Fiber Membrane Technology Removes All Water Borne Viral And Bacterial Contaminants!

The .01M Biostone Ultra filter, also called a "Hollow Membrane Filter" has the same micron diameter that is used in kidney dialysis machines. It's the finest (smallest micron) domestic filter available for water ionizers, and is especially recommended for well water.

Features
The Biostone .01 Micron (.01M) Granulated Silver-Impregnated Carbon "Ultra" Filter removes chlorine, bad taste, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, all other common water micro-organisms and other contaminants from the incoming water. What remains is great tasting, clean and healthy water with the essential alkalizing minerals still intact.

The filter also includes a layer of calcium with magnesium plus a layer of tourmaline. Calcium not only helps to slightly remineralize the water but also naturally sweetens the water and changes volatile fluorine molecules into a benign compound (calcium fluoride). The tourmaline in this patented, state-of-the-art filter really makes a difference in the ability of the water to carry an ionized charge naturally. As the water passes over the tourmaline crystals the ORP (Oxygen Reduction Potential) is naturally decreased and the water made more bio-available. What this means is if water passes through your water ionizer - even with the power turned off - the water will come out more ionized!

Silver is also impregnated into the carbon to ensure no bacteria can grow in the media. Because it is embedded, or impregnated, into the carbon the silver does not leach into the water. Tests done by the Seoul Department of Health show that no silver is released from these filters.

Composed of the highest quality materials
  • The Activated Carbon in the filter comes from the UK and is NSF certified
  • The Calcium in the filter comes from Japan and is certified by the Japanese Government
  • The Ceramic Biostone in the filter is produced in Korea and comes with Korean FDA certification
  • All ingredients are put into the filter housing where sealing is achieved by using high motion heat friction thereby avoiding the need for any harmful chemicals
Filter Composition
Hollow Fiber Membrane: The 0.01 micron super-minute porous structured fiber system allows minerals pass but easily eliminates viruses, bacteria, cysts and parasites.

Silver Impregnated Carbon: The filtering function uses active carbon which is carbon created by burning palm trees at high temperature. This is a secondary pollution-prevention function.

Special Textile Filter: This filter contains a triple textile filter, so no need to worry about germ propagation.

Tourmaline Ceramic: This material produces an 0.03 mA electric current. It has composite functions such as absorption / repulsion, anion formation, etc, that are highly effective for activating tap water.

Calcium: Enhances electrolysis capacity, provides an important mineral and improves the taste of the water.

Capacity: 1000 gallons
Best Used For: Well Water
Filter Media: Hollow Fiber Membrane, Silver Activated Carbon, Calcium, Tourmaline
Estimated Life (1-2 people): 9-12 months
Estimated Life (3-5 people): 6-9 months

Dean's Bottom Line: At 1/100th of a micron filtration size, this filter is perfect for filtering out minute particulate matter, such as with well water. But, this filter doesn't really have the capability to remove chemicals, so you would NOT choose this filter if you own a single-filter ionizer and have chemically treated municipally supplied water.
How do I know when my filter needs to be replaced? All machines that use this filter have either a digital numeric readout or a progressive bar indicator. When the numeric readout reaches 9999 (or 999 on 3-digit readouts) or if all of the filter bars are lit up, generally a filter light will begin to blink letting you know that you've reached the maximum capacity of the filter. This can also be accompanied by the ionizer playing a constant tune. This can happen anywhere between 6 to 12 months, depending on the amount of water your family uses. When that occurs, it's time to change the filter. Also, you should change the filter at least every 12 months, whether the filter use light is blinking or not. It has been two years since I changed my filter last, but I don't use the machine that often. Do I still need to change the filter? Yes. Even though you may only be using the water ionizer once in a while, the filter media and housing is filled with water. The integrity of the internal filter media will begin to diminish over time, and the inside of the filter will degrade. Therefore, it is imperative that you change your filter at least once every 12 months. Is the .01M Biostone Ultra Filter appropriate for city-supplied water? Not really. Even though the filter contains a small layer of carbon which can absorb chlorine and a few other chemicals, this filter is not meant to reduce all of the contaminants you would normally find in treated municipal water. However, if your ionizer has two filters then you can use this filter in one of the filter compartments, while using a more appropriate filter in the second filter compartment. But, if your ionizer has only one filter, and you have treated city water, it would be best to use the AlkaViva UltraWater Filter instead... which is meant to remove most of the harmful contaminants associated with city-supplied water. Do I need a filter adapter to fit this filter into my water ionizer? Many water ionizers require a filter adapter to insert this filter into the machine. When changing the filter, be sure to remove the filter adapter from the old filter and insert it onto the new filter before installation. Otherwise, the filter will not fit. For those ionizers that do not use any filter adapters, the filter fits directly into the machine. If you have lost your filter adapter you can purchase a new one directly from AlkaViva by calling them at (775) 324-2400. What does the term "Biostone" refer to? Biostone refers to the addition of a ceramic formed of the semi-precious mineral tourmaline within the filter. What is tourmaline? How does it effect the water in my water ionizer? Tourmaline naturally emits far infrared energy (FIR) and changes the surface tension of the water, making it (a) easier to process for the ionizer and (b) beginning the negative ion creation process. In practical terms it means you'll get better water by far, even with the "Purified Only" water setting, and you'll get more antioxidant effect with the alkalized water, without an accompanying increase in alkalinity. It's like an antioxidant 'supercharger'. What is the source of the calcium in the filter? The calcium in the .01M Biostone Ultra Filter is premium food grade calcium and comes from natural Japanese mineral mines. Is this filter made by AlkaViva? No, this filter is made by Jupiter Science in Korea, and sold exclusively through AlkaViva in the United States. You can always tell which filters come from Jupiter Science because they are bluish-green in color.

    I have well water and have been buying this filter from SnyderHealth for years. Works great in my Mavello.

    Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely
