Tested Against Six Contaminant Categories
Microplastic Filtration Performance
Test Location: Germany
Conducted By: Measurlabs (ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited)
Date: February 2025
This test report, conducted by a renowned laboratory, demonstrates the effectiveness of Ecofiltro in removing microplastics from water. The test evaluated the filtration of 70 µm polystyrene beads using three filter units. No beads were detected in the filtered water during the test.
| 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 |

PFAS and Pharmaceutical Residue Filtration
Test Location: Germany and Finland
Conducted By: Measurlabs (ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited)
Date: December 2024
The laboratory assessed the reduction of selected pharmaceutical compounds and PFAS under specific test conditions. Results vary depending on the compound tested. See the full laboratory report for the individual results and detection limits.
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 |
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.
Test Location: Ciudad Vieja, Guatemala
Conducted By: AnalisaLab
Date: June 2025
| Substance | Initial Concentration (MPN/100ml) | After Filtration (MPN/100ml) | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Coliforms | > 23 | < 1.1 | 99.9% Removed |
| Fecal Coliforms | > 23 | < 1.1 | 99.9% Removed |
| E. Coli | > 23 | < 1.1 | 99.9% Removed |
Over 98% Glyphosate Reduction, One of the World’s Most Widely Used Pesticides
Laboratory testing showed a reduction of more than 98% in glyphosate, one of the world's most widely used pesticides, under the test conditions using a new filter.
Test Location: Montevideo, Uruguay
Conducted By: Technological Laboratory of Uruguay
Date: June 2025
| Substance | Initial Concentration | After Filtration | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free residual chlorine (Cl2) | 2.70 mg/L | < 0.049 mg/L | 99% Removed |
| Glyphosate | 415 µg/L | 6 µg/L | 99% Removed |
