Quell | Countertop

Countertop

Elegant, modern design of the Quell countertop filter unit will go well with any kitchen. The device can be easily connected to the faucet, so you can immediately enjoy clean and great-tasting water. It is deal for home masters and tenants, as no drilling is required when installing the filter unit. Everything you need for installation is included in the package. The device with a height of 32 cm and a width of 21 cm sits securely on a non-slip mat and is equipped with a chrome faucet. Water from the Quell filter unit tastes better because it is better. Much better.

Two-stage filtration

This filter unit is equipped with a combination of two filters: carbon block (CarbonBlock) and Disruptor ™, which achieves practically perfect water filtration. Quell filtration units remove all unwanted contaminants from water such as bacteria, parasites, viruses, microorganisms, heavy metals, chlorine, drug residues, microplastics and many more. Filtration removes odors and improves the taste of water. At the same time, however, it does not remove minerals, which are an important part of drinking water. The water filtration process does not require high pressure, electricity or chemicals, it does not add anything to the water.

Disruptor™ filtration technology is one of the most efficient technology available on the market today. Thanks to the principle of electroadsorption, it not only retains but also disposes of organic contaminants. Until recently, the disruptor was used exclusively by NASA.

Do you need a water filter at all?

If you’ve ever thought about the quality of the water that comes out of your tap, you can be sure that it has been thoroughly tested before it reaches you and is definitely safe. But is it good enough to drink?

Safe drinking water requires ingredients that you can often smell or taste, such as chlorine or a disinfectant. It is added to water to kill microorganisms and protect against recontamination as the water passes through the distribution system. Aluminum-containing chemicals are used in a process called flocculation, in which suspended particles are removed from water to increase the transparency of water. The passage of drinking water through the distribution system also releases small particles into it, while the oldest distributions may contain lead.

Filtering tap water just before consuming it is the best way to remove all these unwanted ingredients and at the same time significantly improve its taste. Compared to buying bottled water, it is also a cheaper solution without creating unnecessary environmental burdens.

Disruptor™
(product code: QU-DRC)

The Disruptor™ filter cartridge is the second stage of filtration in Quell filter devices. It is the most effective filter available on the market. It uses a process called electroadsorption, which creates an electric field when in contact with water. Removes and eliminates almost all contaminants.

Product features

The unique technology removes more dirt than any other filter
It removes 99.99% of chlorine, endotoxins, viruses, bacteria, cysts and parasites, pathogens, drug residues, organic contaminants, some heavy metals (lead, copper, iron), phosphates and polysaccharides
Reduces odor and improves taste
Contains disinfectant antimicrobial silver
Quick and easy installation
Long-life filter

The Disruptor™ filter cartridge should be used in combination with the PP sediment or CarbonBlock filter cartridge to prolong its life.

CarbonBlock
(product code QU-CBRC)

A high-quality activated carbon block filter cartridge is used as the first stage of filtration in Quell filtration devices. It removes impurities, deposits, chlorine, parasites and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reduces odor and improves the taste of water. Extends the life of the second stage of filtration.

We recommend its use for the filtration of municipal water or well water if it is sufficiently mechanically clean.

Product features

Fast filtration
Quick and easy installation
Reduces odor
Long-life filter
Extends the life of the second stage filter

Recommended retail price: 29,90 €

PP Sediment
(product code QU-PPRC5M)

The PP sediment filter cartridge is used as the first stage of filtration because it removes impurities, deposits, sludge, rust and particles larger than 5 microns, thus extending the life of the second stage of filtration.

We recommend using it if the inlet water is more dirty and the first stage filter becomes clogged faster.

Fast filtration
Quick and easy installation
Long-life filter
Extends the life of the second stage filter

Is there a difference in the effectiveness of the “countertop” and “undersink” filter units?
No. These filter units differ only in design, the filters used are identical in both.

Which filter unit should I choose?
If you want to mount the filter unit for permanent use and at the same time you have a place on the sink for fitting a second water tap and a place for placing filters under the sink, choose the “undersink” version. If you can not drill into the sink, e.g. in case it is porcelain or if the installation of filtration is only temporary, e.g. due to sublease, choose the portable “countertop” filter unit.

If the Disruptor is so effective, why are the filter units equipped with another filter?
Simply to protect the Disruptor. The pre-filter prevents premature clogging of the Disruptor and thus, the need for its more frequent replacement. The PP Sediment or CarbonBlock filter can catch a lot of dirt and are cheaper to replace. This prolongs the life of the Disruptor.

When should I choose PP Sediment as the reassigned filter and when CarbonBlock?
The CarbonBlock filter is finer and captures more dirt. However, it clogs faster and thus reduces the waterflow. Therefore, we recommend using it for relatively clean water. Definitely also in the case of municipal water, because it also reduces chlorine. Be sure to use PP Sediment if the inlet water is more mechanically contaminated (sediment, sludge), for example in well water.

Can I use the Quell filter units to filter well water?
Quell filter units reduce the impurities common in well water to almost zero and are thus able to ensure water purity. However, since we can not rule out that the water in your well may be contaminated by e.g. chemicals from a nearby factory or farm, we always recommend doing a regular analysis of water in a specialized laboratory. Through its authorized service centers, Quell will even allow you to borrow the filtration equipment free of charge, so that you can analyze the water from your well even after filtration and thus make sure before the purchase itself that our equipment meets your requirements.

What is the service life of filter cartridges?
The capacity of the Disruptor filter cartridge is approximately 3,000 liters, which usually represents a service life of min. 6 months at a consumption of 17 liters per day. However, do not exceed a period longer than 12 months. The service life of PP Sediment or CarbonBlock pre-filters depends on the purity of the inlet water, usually 4-6 months. In their case, the water flow is a good indicator. If you notice a significant decrease in the water flow through the filter unit, replace the pre-filter first. If the flow rate improves, it will be sufficient to replace the Disruptor at the end of its service cycle.

Does Disruptor soften water?
No. Disruptor does not remove minerals from water.
