PDS_GC_Microplastics

AquaTru® reduces extremely small particles by 96.48%—including microplastics, which may cause inflammation and carry harmful chemicals, and cysts that can lead to gastrointestinal illness. By targeting these tiny but harmful contaminants, AquaTru ensures cleaner, safer water.

Example: From an initial concentration of 1,400,000 particles/mL, AquaTru effectively filters out the vast majority, leaving your water significantly cleaner.

Substance	How it gets into the water	Potential health effects
Microplastics, Particles 0.5 to < 1 µm	Breakdown of larger plastic debris, synthetic fibers, industrial runoff	Inflammation, carriers for chemicals that disrupt cellular functions
Cyst	Typically from fecal contamination or infiltration of surface water containing protozoa (e.g., Giardia, Cryptosporidium)	Gastrointestinal illness, including diarrhea, vomiting, and potential longer‐term health issues if untreated

 

Note: Particulate Class I (NSF/ANSI 42 substance) refers to very fine suspended particles sized 0.5 to less than 1.0 microns in diameter. This category includes microplastics as well as other microscopic solids.
