CREA WATER
Technology

Three stages, one cartridge.

Water enters at the bottom of the system and passes through three filtration stages before it reaches the dedicated faucet. The last of them, the ultrafiltration membrane, has 0.01 micron pores — roughly seven thousand times finer than a human hair.

01
Pre-filtration

Holds back sediment

The first stage stops sand, rust particles and deposits shed by the pipes. It also acts as protection: without it, the fine membrane would clog far sooner.

02
Activated carbon

Corrects taste and smell

The activated carbon stage works on chlorine and on the compounds that give tap water its distinctive taste and smell. It is the difference between water you tolerate and water you drink without thinking about it.

03
Ultrafiltration membrane

Filters at 0.01 microns

The membrane has 0.01 micron pores: anything larger than that simply cannot pass through. Unlike reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration works on mains pressure alone — no pump, no power socket, and nothing sent down the drain.

Sense of scale

How small 0.01 microns really is

A micron is a thousandth of a millimetre. The membrane pores are a hundred times smaller than a common bacterium and several thousand times finer than a strand of hair.

Zero waste water

Reverse osmosis systems send several litres down the drain for every litre they produce. Ultrafiltration needs no such trade-off: everything that enters the system reaches the tap.

Runs on mains pressure

Between 1 and 4 bar, the system delivers 1.5 litres per minute with no pump and no socket under the sink. Nothing stops working when the power goes out.
