The AquaBare Platinum water purifier offers a complete filtration system that is not only the largest size in the industry, but one of the most effective. Connecting the 6.6 gallon chambers together are the cutting edge of off grid filter technology. The activated coconut carbon elements are ANSI/NSF certified to remove 99% of drinking water contaminants and have been proven to reduce the levels of those contaminants to acceptable levels in extreme cases.
The activated carbon elements have been tested by independent laboratories and found to be extremely effective in reducing a wide range of organic chemicals, chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, industrial solvents and hundreds of other man-made pollutants which are found in tap water across the country.
Visitors of this site will know how much of a fanatic I am about clean water. I’m constantly drinking and carrying bottled water with me. This AquaBare product really piqued my interest because it filters for lead, mercury, chlorine and hundreds of other contaminants, including most types of bacteria such as E-Coli and salmonella. The technology behind the filter is particularly interesting: activated carbon removes chemicals from the water, while activated alumina & granular carbon detoxify and remove heavy metal contaminants and even radiation. While there are several players in the countertop filtration game, after doing my research I realized that the filter elements are of the same quality assuming they are made of activated coconut carbon, but what truly sets the different units are are their size and where they are constructed. From a value standpoint, AquaBare wins hands-down in this category due to their low prices and large water volumes. If you are looking to conserve counter space with a tiny unit AquaBare is not for you. That being said, you can still use AquaBare filter elements in a competitor’s smaller canister.
“The AquaBare system is a more than adequate water purifying unit for many households, and some users may prefer the larger size as you can always put more fresh-water containers on top of it. I recommend this brand over others because its replacement elements are very affordable and the complete system can be purchased separately if another filter element catches your eye down the road”
AquaBare includes a free primer with every order which makes the initial priming of the filter element much easier. Since the units are designed to be bulletproof in the event of an emergency, this makes the initial filter set up a breeze. All you need to do is place the bottom chamber on the counter/table you will be keeping it on, unwrap and prime the black filter elements before screw the black screwing them into the holes in the upper chamber, attach the white elements to the bottom threading of the black elements, and then stack the upper chamber on top of the lower chamber and add fresh water to the top chamber.
The innovative design of the AquaBare platinum water purification system makes it easy to operate and maintain while delivering better-than-bottled quality. If you ever decide to store your aquabare system all you need to do is drain the lower chamber, remove the filter elements, and simply nest the upper chamber into the lower chamber. This makes AquaBare the perfect solution for camping and van life.
