LABORATORY TESTS

Filtration Effectiveness

Independent laboratory tests have evaluated Ecofiltro's performance in reducing specific contaminants under defined test conditions. Explore the available test results below.

Tested Against Six Contaminant Categories

Heavy Metal Reduction

Laboratory tests showed varying levels of reduction depending on the metal tested:

Lead, cadmium and mercury removed 100%. Arsenic: 63%. Fluoride: 26%.

Over 98% Glyphosate Reduction

Over 98% glyphosate reduction one of the most widely used pesticides in the world, under laboratory test conditions using a new filter.

Tested by LATU, Uruguay, 2025.

99.9% Reduction in E. coli Bacteria

No coliform bacteria detected in filtered water throughout a 5,000-litre test.

Tested by LAE, Mexico, 2023.

Microplastic Particles Elimination

No 70 µm polystyrene particles detected after filtration in three filter units.

Tested by Measurlabs, 2025.

Pharmaceutical Residue Reduction

Ecofiltro has been rigorously tested for its ability to remove pharmaceutical compounds commonly found in European water systems. The results are remarkable: Ecofiltro completely eliminates 13 out of 14 tested pharmaceutical substances, ensuring your water is safe and clean.

Substance Initial Concentration (µg/L) After Filtration (µg/L) Efficiency
Amisulprid 0.049 < 0.010 99.9% Removed
Beta Estradiol 0.049 < 0.010 99.9% Removed
Candesartan 0.050 < 0.010 99.9% Removed
Diclofenac 0.043 < 0.010 99.9% Removed

Reduction of PFAS Contaminants

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), commonly known as “forever chemicals,” are synthetic compounds that can persist in the environment and water systems.

Laboratory tests show that Ecofiltro reduces PFAS levels, with most of the compounds tested falling below the laboratory’s detection limits after filtration.

PFAS Compound Initial (µg/L) After Filtration (µg/L) Efficiency
PFNA 0.0098 <0.0001 98.98% Removed
PFBS 0.0109 0.000367 96.60% Removed
PFDoDA 0.0093 < 0.0001 >98,92% Removed
PFDS 0.0088 < 0.0001 >98,86% Removed
LABORATORY TEST RESULT

Coliform Bacteria Reduction Over 99.9%

No coliform bacteria were detected in the filtered water throughout a 5,000-litre test, corresponding to a reduction of over 99.9% under the test conditions.
