Athena Biostone Plus and Fluoride Shield Replacement Filter Combo

NEW Biostone Plus Water Filter. 0.1-micron water filtration. The Biostone Plus represents the state of the art in water filtration today.

Fits all Jupiter ionizers (Except Vesta and Regency II)
—

The New Biostone Plus Filter removes chlorine, bad taste, giardia & other microorganisms, heavy metals and other contaminants. The “Plus” refers to the recent re-engineering of the filter to additionally remove chloramines (cancer-causing by-products of chlorination). The filter’s activated carbon is embedded (impregnated) with silver to prevent bacterial growth WITHOUT leaching silver into your drinking water. (lab-proven)

Important Note: The new Biostone Plus filter may look a little different than your old filter, but have no fear! It will fit your ionizer; just follow the instructions provided.

What remains is good healthy water with essential alkalizing minerals remaining.

Compare this to Reverse Osmosis, distilled and many bottled waters –highly acidic and with all essential minerals unnaturally removed.

AntiScaling

It’s a fact that mineral buildup (scaling) will damage any ionizer – especially in hard water areas. The new BioStone Plus is the first internal ionizer filter to help prevent the damaging effect of hard water scale build-up inside your ionizer before it occurs. The media, extracted from all natural sources, has also been shown to:

• have antioxidant and detoxifying effects
• improve the chalky taste due to hard water minerals

Centaur Carbon Block Technology

Engineered for ultimate chlorine and chloramines removal, and the elimination of trihalomethanes, phenols, sediment, odor, sour taste, organic waste, lead, pesticides, and bacteria of all kinds. Standard granulated, activated carbon contains “negative” space that allows water to pass through without actually coming in contact with the media. Solid block technology forces your water to pass through a solid “wall” of carbon causing every last water molecule to come in contact with the media. The new BioStone Plus employs the superior Centaur grade carbon and solid-block technology – both industry firsts! Centaur Carbon Block offers you:

• 150 times more surface area than granulated activated carbon
• 20 times more adsorption capacity than granulated activated carbon.
• 10 times faster adsorption rate than granulated activated carbon.

Cutting edge KDF Technology:

Increased contact time for better contaminant removal, increased flow rates, and a greener manufacturing process that produces less waste. This recently improved form of KDF offers superior reduction of chlorine and chloramines, the majority of heavy metals (such as iron, mercury, and lead), plus manganese and hydrogen sulfides.

Vortex Technology

The body of the new BioStone Plus incorporates the amazing, natural properties of vortex hydraulics, which reduces “channeling” and ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your filter

Special heavy metal reduction media: Reduces lead, aluminum, copper and other heavy metals.

Lifespan is 8-12 months – depending on your water source and frequency of use. For example, if your tap water contains between 0.4 and 1.0 ppm (parts per million) of chlorine, a water filter can last 12-16 months for one person’s use. If greater than 1.0 ppm, the water filter may last 9-12 months. A family of three on a typical North American municipal water supply will use a water filter each 12 months.

An LED indicator on the front panel gives an approximate indication of remaining water filter life. By changing your water filter at regular intervals, you are assured of the inner hygiene of the filter.

Regarding the Removal of Fluoride.

Recent independent tests showed a reduction from 4.40 (ppm) parts per million to 0.59 ppm.

These tests used a high flow rate and a pH setting of only 8. If the flow rate is reduced and the pH put on a high setting, the result will be an even greater reduction as the water takes longer to go through the filter and because the more alkaline the water, the fewer the fluoride ions.

For fluoride test results see here.

The Biostone Plus is manufactured in the USA with NSF certified components.
