Aquaphor pitchers have become quite widespread in domestic regions. This is due to the winning combination of appealing pricing, availability, and a variety of replaceable filter elements.

Cartridge Variety

Now, the Prestige model. Here we deal with the procedure of further purification of tap water to a tolerable drinking level. This is basically handled by the B100-5 filter element, which removes mechanical particles, heavy metal impurities, chlorine, and petroleum products from the water. The pitcher is also compatible with B100-6 cartridges for reducing hardness levels, B100-7 for retaining the original mineral composition of the water, and B100-8 for purifying water with a high chlorine content.

Slider Lid

Up to 1.4 L of water can be passed through the pitcher's funnel in one go. Approximately the same amount of filtered liquid can be stored in the "clean" reservoir. For convenience in filling the funnel with water, the lid design includes sliding panels. A special counter at the top base of the handle tracks the number of slider uses — 300 L of filtered water is achieved with 200 openings, which is the standard capacity for a pitcher cartridge.

Under the Aegis of Accessibility

The striking appearance of the lid is marred by a small flaw — lime scale and dirt gather on the edges of the sliding mechanism. The lid is difficult to clean of such contaminants. The flip side is the accessibility and wide range of replacement cassettes for the Aquaphor Prestige. They can be purchased literally anywhere that sells consumables for water filtration systems.
