Water filters
Atlas Filtri water filters
We are used to having tap water that is almost always of excellent drinking quality. However, this isn’t always the case when water has been stored in a tank for a while. It is often mixed with older water, which may be of questionable quality.
Atlas Filtri offers a wide range of filter housings that accommodate different types of cartridges, each designed for a specific function, and some even provide dual functionality.
Cartridges with micron and carbon filters
A popular choice for purifying drinking water on yachts is a cartridge that combines a fine micron filter with an active carbon filter. This removes visible particles, such as algae, along with chlorine and any unpleasant odors from the water.
Boil drinking water before use
Please note: Using a filter does not guarantee that water is safe to drink. If drinking water has been stored for a long time, it is highly recommended to boil it before use. Boiling will kill any viruses and bacteria. This can also be achieved with a UV lamp.
Beware of water with low pH levels
If the water comes from a reverse osmosis watermaker, we advise against drinking it, as it contains very few minerals. This water is only safe to drink once its pH level has been raised.
Tailored advice
Atlas Filtri also produces filters for hot water and high-pressure water systems.
