Why choose a Star Water Filter® gravity water filter?

Filtration technology developed in France

Developed in France after many months of research and testing, Ultimate Star Filter® filters combine high-quality activated carbons, a specialist medium for reducing heavy metals and a nanotechnology membrane. This combination effectively removes many tested pollutants while retaining the minerals naturally present in the water. Their performance has been measured by independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories at different volumes of filtered water. View the published test results. The filter media used are also NSF® certified to NSF/ANSI 42, and the filter complies with European REACH and RoHS requirements.

The benefits of a self-contained system

Filtering tap water helps reduce any residual contaminants it may contain and improve its taste. With no plumbing connection or electricity required, Star Water Filter® systems operate simply by gravity and are easy to use every day. Made from AISI 304 stainless steel, they come in three capacities and three finishes to suit the size and style of your household. You can therefore enjoy healthier water, with many tested pollutants removed, thanks to a sustainable, economical solution designed to reduce the use of plastic bottles.
