The Santevia Ceramic Pre-filter serves as the first stage of filtration in the Gravity Water System, effectively removing small particles and contaminants from tap water. It targets and eliminates particles larger than 0.3 microns, including microplastics as small as 2.5 microns, as well as rust and sediment. Designed to be compatible with the Gravity Water System, this pre-filter ensures cleaner, clearer water. For maintenance, it can be easily cleaned using the scrubbing side of a kitchen sponge. The filter has a lifespan of up to 1 year, providing reliable and long-lasting filtration.
