Natural water treatment begins with the selection of the right filter cartridge.
We only use activated carbon filter cartridges. Minerals and trace elements can pass through the activated carbon. This allows the water to retain its regional taste and character and a stable pH value. The GPF Premium is a premium activated carbon filter from Germany. Manufactured in a patented sintering process, it is one of the best activated carbon block filter cartridges available for filtering drinking water. With a pore size of around 0.4 μm and 50% more activated carbon mass than conventional activated carbon block filters, it impresses with its very high adsorption capacity and retention rate. Dissolved pollutants as well as particles and microorganisms can be removed from the water extremely safely. Most importantly for us: the water simply tastes great.

FAQ
- Have the filter cartridges been tested by an independent laboratory?Yes, the filter cartridges have been tested by various independent laboratories. You can find the tests in the expert reports on our website.
- Where are the filter cartridges manufactured?The cartridge is manufactured in Germany by Carbonit. They guarantee a constant filter fineness as they are not pressed like other models, but baked. Our cartridges are bacteria-proof and work without the addition of chemicals or silver.
- Can filtered pollutants be released again?No, so-called bleeding is conditionally not possible. Pollutants once retained in the cartridge are safely anchored in the structure of the cartridge and are not released back into the water even in the event of overloading.
- Does the cartridge filter lime?No. Minerals and trace elements are not filtered. This includes lime. It is involved in the taste of the water and stabilises the pH value. Water filters that remove lime either change the pH value, enrich the water with sodium or remove all minerals from the water. A LEOGANT filter system is designed to restore the natural balance of the water. Therefore, we do not remove limescale and concentrate on the combination of activated carbon filter and water vitalisation. This way, the water becomes comparably soft, as if it had been reduced by limescale, but remains fresh and pleasant in taste and does not need to be artificially manipulated.
- How can I dispose of the filter cartridge?Although our filter cartridges are mainly made of activated carbon, a certain amount of binding agent is required for production. After a life cycle of 6 months, the cartridge also contains varying concentrations of harmful substances. Drinking water filter cartridges should therefore only be disposed of in household waste. Household waste is mainly incinerated in Germany and residual materials are disposed of correctly.
Note on filter change according to DIN EN 806
We would like to point out that a filter change every six months is a prerequisite for the functionality and hygiene of the system. If the filter change is not carried out or is not carried out professionally, LEOGANT cannot guarantee the functionality of the water treatment system. The operator himself is liable for any contamination according to DIN EN 806/ DIN EN 1717.
