PS5-PROTECT UST-M antibacterial insert 5 microns

The most advanced antibacterial sedimentation cartridge made of polypropylene nonwoven fabric available on the market.

A safe substance approved by the FDA as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) is used for antibacterial protection.

Unlike similar products, it does not contain nanomaterials or any other chemical substances that may exhibit side effects (e.g., allergic reactions).

Thanks to the highest quality of execution, PS-PROTECT retains solid contaminants such as rust, sand, silt, and suspensions with a diameter of just 5 micrometers.

• Prevents the growth of bacteria such as E. coli and staphylococcus
• Extended cartridge lifespan by 50%
• Material tested by the Department of Immunology and Infectious Biology at the University of Łódź and by an Italian laboratory with international accreditation
• Unlike other antibacterial substances, it is not released into the environment
• Does not contain nanomaterials or heavy metals. Retains solid contaminants such as rust, sand, silt, and suspensions
• Modern technological process entirely supervised by local engineers and technologists
• Exhibits bactericidal activity – confirmed in independent studies in several different laboratories and according to ISO22196 and JIS Z 2801
• Filed for patent
• Deep filtration allows for more effective filtration compared to surface filtration. The cartridge retains more contaminants, which translates to a longer lifespan
• Three-layer construction ensures a gradient structure (micron size decreases towards the interior of the cartridge), which extends its lifespan
• The consumption indicator informs about the need to replace the cartridge. The appearance of the logo indicates cartridge wear

Operating principle:

Contaminated water flows through the cartridge towards its core. The sediments contained in it are retained by micropores, whose diameter decreases towards the inside. Large particles are captured at the surface, while smaller ones are trapped in deeper layers.

This increases the effective surface area, filtration efficiency, and cartridge lifespan.

The bactericidal substance contained in the cartridges acts on the cell wall - the main element distinguishing bacterial cells from human cells. It causes morphological changes leading to the disruption of its structural integrity (lysis) and ultimately eliminates bacteria or prevents their reproduction. The selective action makes it completely safe for humans.

*The lifespan of the cartridge depends on the quality of the water.
