Summary: This test report, conducted by a renowned laboratory, demonstrates the effectiveness of Ecofiltro in removing microplastics from water. The study confirms that Ecofiltro does not shed microplastics and effectively filters out externally introduced microplastic particles. The filtration process successfully eliminated all polystyrene particles introduced in controlled testing.
Microplastic Filtration: Proven Effectiveness
Ecofiltro has been rigorously tested for its ability to remove microplastic particles from drinking water. The test results confirm that Ecofiltro:
- Does not release microplastics into the water.
- Removes 100% of polystyrene microplastics introduced during controlled testing.
- Ensures a high recovery rate (88.4%), validating the effectiveness of the filtration system.
| Test Condition | Result |
|---|---|
| Filtered Water (Initial Test) | Minimal to no microplastics detected; Unit 2 had zero microplastics |
| Spiked Water (Polystyrene Test) | 100% of polystyrene microplastics removed |
| Recovery Validation | 88.4% recovery rate confirms test reliability |

Why It Matters
- Microplastics in Water: Studies link microplastic exposure to potential health risks. Ecofiltro ensures that your drinking water is free from harmful plastic particles.
- Ecofiltro’s Commitment: These test results reinforce our promise to provide clean, safe, and sustainable water filtration for every home.
The Efficiency of Ecofiltro in Removing PFAS and Pharmaceuticals
- Test Location: Helsinki, Finland
- Conducted By: Measurlabs (ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited)
- Date: December 2024
- Summary: This test report, conducted by a renowned laboratory, demonstrates the effectiveness of Ecofiltro in removing various pharmaceutical compounds and PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances). The report's first page highlights a range of pharmaceutical products commonly found in European water systems. The results show that Ecofiltro completely eliminates 13 out of 14 of these substances. The filtration results for synthetic chemical compounds known as PFAS are displayed on the second page. The data confirms that Ecofiltro either completely removes or significantly reduces the presence of these chemicals in the water.
Pharmaceutical Removal: 99.9% Effectiveness
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 |

PFAS Filtration: A Safer Future
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), known as "forever chemicals," are synthetic compounds that persist in the environment and water systems.
The test confirms that Ecofiltro:
- Completely removes or significantly reduces the presence of PFAS.
- Meets stringent quality benchmarks for water purification.
| PFAS Compound | Initial (µg/L) | After Filtration (µg/L) | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| PFOS | 0.0120 | 0.0009 | 99.0% Removed |
| PFOA | 0.0129 | 0.0014 | 98.9% Removed |
| PFDoDA | 0.0093 | < 0.0001 | 100% Removed |
| PFDS | 0.0088 | < 0.0001 | 100% Removed |
(Full list available in the detailed report)
Why It Matters
- Pharmaceuticals in Water: Substances like Diclofenac and Metoprolol are effectively removed, protecting your health.
- PFAS Dangers: Linked to long-term health risks, PFAS are effectively addressed by Ecofiltro’s advanced filtration.

*On Ecofiltro units, we use 0.22 liters of colloidal silver at 530 ppm for our 5L product, and 0.42 liters for our 20L product, both applied internally and externally. Studies show that initially, there is a higher release of silver, around 40 ppb (0.04 ppm), which is well below the recommended daily intake limit of approximately 30 ppm. According to the USEPA(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), the maximum intake of silver should not exceed 5 μg per kilogram of body weight per day (1996), translating to a daily intake of 350 μg for an average 70-kilogram adult.
