2. HIGH FLOW

The fibers containing boehmite allow the Aqua HD filter structure to be more open
TM
than the structure of conventional filters, and this in turn allows a much higher water
flow: up to 6 LPM (1.5 GPM) for the at home filtering units.

3. HIGH CAPACITY

The fibers in each filter create a large surface area.

In the Filter Bottle the filter surface area is 1,358 m (14,617 sq ft) - that is larger
2
than three basketball courts!

In the at home filters, the surface area is 8,175 m (88,000 sq ft) – that is larger than
2
a soccer field!

This large surface area allows each bottle cartridge to filter up to 1,600 L
(423 gal), and each home filtration cartridge to filter up to

11,355 L (3,000 gal) before replacement. 12 Page 38

11. LPM = liters per minute; GPM = gallons per minute. A flow of 6 LPM (1.5 GPM) requires water pressure greater or equal to 30 pounds per square inch (≥ 30 PSI).
12. In the at home filtration systems, actual capacity will depend on the amount of suspended solids and particles in your local water system. In certain water supplies, tastes and
odors may return or the flow may decrease prior to the rated capacity. In these cases the Aqua✓HD™ media insert should be replaced more often. For optimum performance we
recommend replacing the Aqua✓HD™ media insert at least every 5 years even if the red light has not yet come on. In the Rena Ware Filter Bottle, water containing large amounts of
sediment will reduce the duration of the filter cartridge, and using the cartridge beyond its capacity could reduce the quality of the filtered water.
