How it all started
Humans' attempt to improve water quality through the use of filters is intertwined with their evolution. The first recorded attempts at water filtration date back to 2,000 BC. The main reason for filtering the water was to improve its taste because, as they believed, the water had to be tasteless, odorless and colorless.

Why are water filters "green"?

12/11/2013
by Ιoanna Vaiou

Water filters are "green"...

-> If we use filtered water, we do not throw plastic water bottles in the garbage. Plastic, although recyclable, often ends up in the trash can. Also, do not forget that it is not biodegradable, and it takes many years to dissolve. Water filters, on the other hand, always offer us fresh clean water, with our only "obligation" to renew the water filter cartridge annually.
