Reverse osmosis (RO) is a filtration process in which water components are separated from the water. This includes pollutants, pathogens, but also minerals and trace elements such as calcium and magnesium. Even if pathogens can be filtered out of the water by reverse osmosis, such a system is still not safe. Pathogens can grow again in the downstream activated carbon, and a rupture of the membrane filter can also have serious consequences and cannot be seen from the outside. This process is also not particularly sustainable, since reverse osmosis produces a lot of waste water.

Our device combines filtration through activated carbon with downstream UVC LED disinfection. UV disinfection is a recognized, environmentally friendly and chemical-free disinfection process for drinking water that is used worldwide in drinking water plants. The HYPRO WATER removes pollutants, but leaves important minerals and trace elements such as magnesium and calcium in the water - and all this without generating waste water. It is therefore the much safer and more environmentally friendly method.

You can find a detailed comparison between HYPRO WATER and reverse osmosis here.

Since the HYPRO WATER is not an osmosis system, it does not change the original micro-Siemens value of your tap water.
The micro-Siemens value says something about the electrical conductivity of the water or about the particles in it Water that is charged.
In other words, the amount of substances dissolved in the water that are charged, e.g. metals, minerals or salts.
However, the value does not provide any information about which other pollutants (drug residues, viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, etc.) are in the water.
It is therefore not meaningful for determining the quality of the water.

Rely on independent institutes and ask whether the devices themselves are certified.

Here are the certificates that HYPRO WATER has.

The only maintenance effort is the filter change, which is due 3 times a year (after 120 days or 2,000 liters, whichever value is reached first). An LED on the device starts flashing when the filter needs to be replaced. You will also receive a push notification via the app.

Replacing is child's play, feel free to watch our video.

The UVC LEDs have a proven service life of over 10,000 hours. With normal household use, these last for about 80 years and therefore do not have to be replaced.

The HYPRO WATER does not change the pH value of the water.

The HYPRO WATER can be connected to any standard 2-way tap. However, we recommend installing it in combination with a 3-way tap.

The 3-way tap from HYTECON is an ideal addition to the HYPRO WATER because it has a separate Outlet for water filtered and disinfected by the HYPRO WATER.

The lever on the right of the tap delivers unfiltered and non-disinfected cold and warm water via a mixer tap, as before, perfect for washing dishes or watering flowers.
The separate lever on the left of the tap delivers perfectly prepared drinking water, which you can also use to cook or wash fruit and vegetables, etc.

Another option is to install it on an additional tap.

The HYPRO WATER does not remove limescale from the water, so it does not change the degree of hardness of the water.
The HYPRO WATER is a purely hygienic water treatment device. It ensures that there are no longer any harmful substances in your drinking water. Important minerals and trace elements such as calcium and magnesium are intentionally left in the water.

Since lime is not a substance that endangers your health and is a purely cosmetic problem, the HYPRO WATER does not filter lime from the water.
