New under-sink drinking water filter system with a separate tap – a sustainable source of safe and healthy water for your home.

In a previous article, we looked at various under-counter direct-flow systems for purifying drinking water. In 2024, Aquaphor’s product portfolio has been significantly upgraded. So, in this article, we will look at the improved Aquaphor Crystal series, specifically the new version of Aquaphor Crystal A, one of the most popular water purifiers.

The Aquaphor Crystal A water filter’s most recent generation (2024) offers an appealing solution for households looking for effective water filtration. This study looks at the essential features, components, and overall value proposition of this upgraded model.

Aquaphor Crystal A:  main features

The Aquaphor Crystal A is designed for moderate water pollution and zero-to-mild water hardness and has a 6,000-liter cartridge capacity (or 1.5 years maximum). This large volume ensures long-term usage before replacement is required, making it an affordable option for many households.

The filtration system uses three stages of purification with conventional cartridges (K5-K2-K7 set).

1. Aquaphor K5: element of the first purification phase; it is a mechanical filter in food-grade polypropylene with a porosity of 5 microns; purifies water from the most common impurities such as rust, sand and silt.
2. Aquaphor K2: element of the second purification phase; it is a carbon fiber (CFB) filter that combines deep absorption cleaning and mechanical filtration from particles larger than 3 microns; removes harmful impurities, incl. suspended matter, chlorine, heavy metals and organic matter; contains silver in an active ionic form, which provides a bacteriostatic effect.
3. Aquaphor K7: element of the third purification phase; is a super dense carbon block based on coconut activated carbon (CFB) in natural powder for final cleaning (with a porosity of 0.8 microns), which completely removes even the smallest amounts of harmful impurities; contains silver in an active ionic form, which provides a bacteriostatic effect.

This multi-stage technique provides comprehensive water treatment by addressing a wide spectrum of possible pollutants.

New Pro Series Manifold:

The updated manifold, which was previously exclusive to the Pro Series Crystal, is the most notable feature of the renewed filter.
It incorporates:
– JG 1/4 quick connect inlet and outlet for easy installation;
– Sturdy structure made of thick, durable monolithic plastic;
– The unique AutoLock cartridge holder makes it possible to quickly and easily change filters with one hand.

These improvements significantly enhance user-friendliness and maintenance ease.

Installation and Accessories:

The package includes:
– Mounting template for countertop or wall installation
– Two high-pressure JG tubes
– Comprehensive multi-lingual illustrated manual

– The connection node (T-fitting) is designed to fit onto a valve for a flexible connection to a sink faucet and has a thread size M/F 3/8″ (17.145 mm). This is a widespread size in Europe, and, even if it does not fit, it is easy to find an adapter;
– Spanner for quick-release connections.

The inclusion of these accessories ensures a complete installation solution right out of the box.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the new Aquaphor Crystal A water filter combines a user-friendly design aspect with high-capacity filtration. With its extensive filtration system, sturdy build, and accessories included, it’s a serious player in the home water purification market. Notable improvements include the simpler cartridge change method and the enhanced manifold design. The Aquaphor Crystal A is a water filter that is effective and low-maintenance, and it is something that should be given careful thought.

Aquaphor Crystal variants:

Basically, the different versions of the Aquaphor Crystal differ from each other in cartridge set and design:

Aquaphor Crystal has the K3-K2-K7 filter set and, therefore, better performance (2.5 liters per minute) and extended resource of filtration cartridges (8000 liters*).

Aquaphor Crystal ECO has the K3-K7B-K7 filter set. K7B module with hollow fiber membrane is used for microfiltration: it removes all common impurities such as chlorine, lead, bacteria, cysts, particles and germs down to 0.1 micron. This model has the largest and most beautiful tap and a greater resource of filter cartridges (8000 liters*).

Aquaphor Crystal HA has the K5-KH-K7 filter set and, therefore, is capable of softening water of medium excessive hardness (50-250 ppm mg/l or 0.5-2.5 mmol/L) and resource of filtration cartridges 4000 liters *.

Aquaphor Crystal H has the K3-KH-K7 filter set and, therefore, is capable of softening water of medium excessive hardness (50-250 ppm mg/l or 0.5-2.5 mmol/L) and extensive resource of filtration cartridges (6000 litres*).

* The KH (K4) softener cartridge has its own resource, not included in the filter resource (depends on the hardness of the water).
The actual resource of filter cartridges depends on the quality of the water in the pipes.

**Keeping in mind that all K series filter cartridges are compatible with each other, you can simply convert one version to another by changing the cartridges.
