Disruptor™ filtration technology

The basis of the Quell NOMAD filter bottle is the Disruptor™ filter cartridge, which is one of the most efficient on the market today. It does not require high pressure, electricity or chemicals for the water purification process, it does not add anything to water. Thanks to the principle of electroadsorption, it not only retains but also disposes of organic contaminants. Until recently, Disruptor ™ was used exclusively by NASA.

More information about Disruptor™ can be found here.

What does the filter remove from water?

The unique Disruptor™ technology removes more impurities from the filtered water than any other filtration technology without the need for electricity.

bacteria
E.coli
viruses
parasites and cysts
sediments
endotoxins
trace elements after drugs
chlorine
some heavy metals (lead, copper, iron)

Filtration does not remove minerals that are a natural and necessary part of drinking water.

Possibilities of use

Municipal water also has different quality and taste in different places, the content of chlorine, metals or the presence of microorganisms. So, if you have a more sensitive stomach or simply want to drink really clean and tasty water, the Quell NOMAD filter bottle will serve you not only at home but also at work, in the car, at school, in the gym, etc.

Be sure to take it with you on trips, bicycles, camping and trips abroad. You can never know if there is clean water or a shop where you can buy bottled water. Moreover, if you’re traveling with small equipment only, you won’t need many water bottles in your backpack. By the way, do you know how much money you will save if you don’t have to buy bottled water unnecessarily?

Ecology

The ecological aspect is certainly not negligible for many, as the Quell NOMAD filter bottle is reusable and you will avoid unnecessary purchases of disposable plastic bottles (1 filter = up to 150 plastic bottles…). At the same time, the bottle is fully recyclable (except for the filter cartridge).

Where can I use the Quell NOMAD filter bottle?
Practically anywhere. It will definitely serve you best on trips and hikes, cycling, in the car, traveling abroad, camping, but also at work, at school or at home. You will also be pleasantly surprised by how much less plastic waste will be generated thanks to you (capacity of one filter = approx. 150 pcs of 1.5 l plastic bottles).

What is the life / capacity of the filter?
The service life of the filter cartridge is approximately 300 cartridges (approx. 200 l) or 2 months from the first use. However, the actual life may vary depending on what kind of water you are filtering. If it is dirty, you will clog the filter much earlier. A good indicator for filter replacement is the flow of water through the filter. If it decreases significantly and the water passes more difficult, replace the filter cartridge as soon as possible and do not try to force the water through the filter.

Do I have to replace the filter after two months even if I haven’t used the bottle?
No. If you really rarely use the Quell NOMAD filter bottle, you can use the filter longer than 2 months. We have checked the efficiency of the filter over time with minimal use in cooperation with the German laboratory ISEGA. See the results in the tests section. However, be sure not to leave the filter unchanged for more than one season, even with occasional use. We also recommend using a new filter if you want to use the bottle in an environment with uncertain water quality, e.g. when traveling abroad. You will be assured of the best possible filtration result.

Why do the filter cartridges have a different color?
If you use several Quell NOMAD bottles e.g. in a family or in a batch, you can distinguish them by the color of the filter cartridge. There is no other difference between them.

Can I use the Quell NOMAD bottle also without a filter?
You certainly can. If you go on a trip and fill the bottle e.g. with mineral water, remove the filter and use the bottle like any other. When you run out of the drink, screw the filter back on and use its filtration capabilities after filling with water from another source.

Can I filter hot water?
No. It would damage the filter. Only fill bottle with water up to 38°C.

Can I drink filtered water from any source?
The Disruptor™ filter cartridge, as the most effective available (portable) filter, removes almost all contaminants from the water to 99% (see the description of the technology) and thus, in the vast majority of cases provides you with safe drinking water. However, we do not know whether the water you are about to filter is not extremely industrially polluted or poisoned, so we can not give a clear answer to such a question. In case of unavailability of municipalwater, prefer springs and streams. If you use common sense, the Quell NOMAD bottle will reliably serve you wherever you need it.

Will the Quell NOMAD bottle also make drinking water out of seawater?
No. Minerals and salts remain in the water.

How will the Quell NOMAD bottle help me abroad?
Many people have digestive problems when drinking tap water abroad. This is caused by microorganisms in water. These are also present in permitted amounts in our domestic water, but the types of microorganisms present in water abroad may differ from the ours. And since our body is not used to these, the iringestion causes a stomach reaction, and the same water does not cause any problems for the domestic population. By filtering the water, the disruptor reduces all microorganisms (even foreign ones) to almost zero, thus eliminating this problem. We also recommend using filtered water abroad when brushing your teeth. In addition, Quell NOMAD can save you a lot of money on buying bottled water or solve a problem with drinking water at the airport or on the plane.

How to take care for a filter bottle?
Wash the bottle in the usual way, you can also wash it in the dishwasher (without a filter!). Rinse the filter occasionally under running water.
