Do Water Filters Remove Bacteria?

In a world where water hygiene has become a top priority for homes, offices, and healthcare facilities alike, Billi stands at the forefront of innovative solutions with its state-of-the-art water filtration and UV purification technologies.

Celebrating over 30 years of Australian heritage in designing and manufacturing premium water systems, Billi’s legacy is built on delivering high-performance, eco-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing products for both commercial and residential use.

Understanding Water Filters and Bacteria

Water filters play a pivotal role in improving the quality of drinking water, but their effectiveness in removing bacteria varies based on the type of filter used. Billi’s advanced filtration technology, incorporating Fibron X and 0.2 Micron filters, is designed to tackle a broad spectrum of contaminants, including sediment, chemicals like chlorine, and to some extent, microorganisms.

Generally speaking, even costly and wasteful water filters such as Reverse Osmosis filters aren’t designed to remove bacteria. Instead, chemical treatments and non-chemical options like Billi’s Luxgarde™ offer an alternative to reduce or eliminate waterborne bacteria and pathogens.

How Do UV Filters Remove Bacteria?

Billi leverages advanced multi-stage filtration technology, notably through its partnership with BWT, Europe’s largest water treatment products company. This collaboration has birthed filters utilising unique Fibron X technology, which boasts a graded density profile for superior contaminant reduction performance. Unlike conventional carbon filters, which are often limited by their granular composition and resin binding, Billi’s filters ensure a broader and more effective filtration process.

To further bolster water safety, Billi introduces the Luxgarde™ UVC Purification Device. This device is engineered to purify water by up to 99.999%, making it an ideal solution for eradicating waterborne pathogens. The UVC LED technology at the heart of Luxgarde™ is essentially a high-tech, short-wave UV light for water filters that operates within the germicidal range of 250 nm – 270 nm. This effectively disrupts the DNA, RNA, and proteins of bacteria and viruses, thereby halting their ability to replicate and infect.
