Why should I install a water filter?;

There are many different reasons why it is good and useful to install a water filter in your home.

• It can improve the smell and appearance of your water : Water filters retain the dirt, mud, sediment, solid particles that can exist in the mains water and cause a strong smell and cloudy appearance in your water. There are many times when work is carried out on the water supply networks, resulting in the network «carrying» a lot of dirt, mud and solid particles and these end up in our tap. Η ceramic surface of Olympus water filters retains (if present in the water*) 100% pathogens such as: E.Colli, typhoid, cholera, salmonella, fecal coliform, staphylococci, pathogenic and sporogenic bacteria, enterococci, cryptosporidium and other bacteria from 0.5 micron and above while retaining soil, sludge, sediment and solid particles. In addition the ceramic surface of Olympus water filters has the ability to be cleaned. Periodically, or when you feel the water flow from the filter is decreasing, you can use a sponge to clean the spout. This ensures a satisfactory flow while preventing sediment from building up inside the filter for a year.
• It can improve the taste of your water: Olympus water filters retain chlorine which causes a strong odour. Chlorination of water is a necessary process which is intended to disinfect the water. Water filters enable us to remove chlorine from the water a breath before drinking it. Olympus water filters have the ability to retain chlorine in very high percentages even in cases where the water happens to be over-chlorinated. Olympus water filters have internal activated carbon which ensures high filtration efficiency.
• It can protect us from germs. In cases of hypochlorination of the water, or in cases of network damage, there is a possibility of microbes developing. Even in such a case, the Olympus water filter is able to retain any microbes, thus protecting us and providing us with clean water. The OLYMPUS+ Antimicrobial Water Filter is a global innovation patented by CENTER PLUS SA, as it is the only water filter in its class that has an internal Antimicrobial Protection System, which ensures greater safety for consumers, since it has the ability within 2 hours to continuously kill up to 95% of the microbial flora of pathogens that the ceramic filter with micropores retains and at the same time, on a permanent basis, to disinfect the internal chamber of the device (self-disinfection). The combination and the studied arrangement of the antimicrobial parts of the device, constitute the revolutionary Antimicrobial Protection System of the OLYMPUS+ Water Filter, since the continuous release of copper ions destroys the cell membrane and the DNA of microbes on their contact surfaces, both in the chamber of the device and on the surface of the ceramic filter, due to the Hallo Phenomenon, which is a property of copper, killing microbes at a certain distance from the copper.
• It can improve the quality of your water: The ceramic water filters combined with the solid activated carbon contained inside the Olympus ceramic water filter, are capable of removing harmful substances from your water, such as chlorine pesticides, phenols, toxic substances, asbestos fibers, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, arsenic, lead and other heavy metals, while leaving all the useful water elements such as, mineral salts, trace elements, etc.
• You can wash your fruits, vegetables and cook with filtered water. It is very important not only to drink clean water but also to do even more uses with clean water. After all, fruits and vegetables absorb water, so it is very important that the water we use is clean. .
• You can save money : By installing a water filter, you save on the constant purchase of bottled water bottles. You buy a Olympus antimicrobial water filter device and you need to renew the filter either once a year or after a few litres (the time interval and the filtering litres are defined by the manufacturer of each filter). By installing a water filter, it takes just 45€ (depending on the model you choose) per year to ensure that you can drink guaranteed clean water for a year.
• You can get rid of the «carry»: by installing a water filter, you can ensure clean and fresh drinking water at all times, as you only need to turn on your tap to enjoy it.
• You can reduce your consumption of plastic bottles, which contributes significantly to reducing the environmental burden. The water filters are made of stainless steel, antimicrobial copper alloys, ceramic and activated carbon. All construction materials are certified for drinking water.
• You can mount it very easily. The top bench filters do not require installation. The installation is very simple as you just need to screw a fitting into the spout of your tap and you will be drinking clean filtered water.

Finally, for the complete safety of consumers, OLYMPUS+ water filters are addressed to city water, controlled by the Municipal Authorities and are the water filters that ensure forever, HEALTHY, CRYSTALINE and HOLY WATER.

* The city water is safe, except in very few cases of contamination, from network failures or hypochlorination of water.
