OUR FILTER SYSTEM
BELON works differently from other gravity filters: there is no plastic tank. The funnel filters directly into the carafe or bottle you serve from.
The funnel comes with a filter and its stand. The carafe is optional. If you already own a carafe you love, use it.
HOW TO USE
THE FILTER
BELON reduces chlorine, lead and microplastics, and leaves the minerals in. See the lab reports.
TASTE
Chlorine is added to municipal tap water to make it safer. The downside is the taste and smell. BELON reduces chlorine to make water taste like water again.
SPEED
A fresh filter runs a full funnel (34 fl oz or 1L) in about 3-4 minutes. Like with all gravity filters, depending on the water where you live, the speed may slow over time. That's just the filter doing its job.
MINERALS
The minerals in tap water are part of its taste. Without them, water tends to taste flat. BELON is designed to keep them in the water.
CONTAMINANT REDUCTION
We have tested the filter to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 protocols through an accredited certification body. It reduces chlorine, lead and microplastics to levels that meet the NSF/ANSI requirements. Lead stayed under the limit through twice the rated filter life. BELON is not yet certified. The full reports are on the Lab Data page.
THE PAPER
One pleated layer of electrokinetic nanofiber paper, made in the USA. The fibers carry a charge that captures contaminants as water passes through.
