The AQUAPHOR water filter pitcher J. SHMIDT 500 removes contaminants down to 0.1 µm thanks to the filter cartridge CARTRIDGE J. SHMIDT 500. It filters out heavy metals such as lead, copper or mercury, as well as bacteria, chlorine, pollen and other contaminants. The purified water is perfect for small children, people with allergies and coffee and tea lovers. It is also suited for use in bistros, cafés, hotel rooms and guest rooms.

Unlike standard filter pitchers with carbon filters, the Aquaphor table water filter has a filter cartridge made of Aqualen, a patented composite material which effectively reduces contaminants and thoroughly purifies the water. The technology enables efficient ultra-fine filtration of all particles from a size of 0.1 µm—800 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. The result is clean, fresh water free of chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, organic compounds or phenol. The filtration is 100% chemical-free and takes place in a water purifier jug made of BPA-free plastic.

The table water filter was filter 1 L of water in one minute. An indicator light shows when the water filter cartridge needs to be replaced. This is necessary after approx. 500 L of filtered water.
