Shungite filter cartridge
Shower filter - Made from high-quality shungite carbon
The 600 million year old black shungite rock consists of hollow spherical fullerenes and is often referred to as the "fountain of youth" in anti-ageing research. Shungite is still relatively little researched, but is said to have a positive influence on the skin's ageing process1. The properties of shungite are based on the experience of many users and the effect is still largely unexplored!
In addition to absorption and catalytic properties, shungite also has bactericidal properties2. The number of microbes in water filtered with shungite can be up to twelve times lower than in conventionally filtered water, reducing turbidity and foreign odors.
Area of application
What does the cartridge do?
Binding of free radicals
Due to its molecular structure, shungite is said to be able to absorb and bind free radicals, which are partly responsible for the skin's ageing process.
Adsorptive, catalytic and bactericidal
Studies by Krutous and Rysev, Khadartsev3 attribute high adsorptive, catalytic and bactericidal activity to shungite.
Pure shungite
Made from 100 % pure shungite coal granulate from Karelia.

1 Performance characteristics according to studies by Yonsei University, Alexey Rybakov, V.A. Khromushin, Krutous and Rysev, Khadartsev3
2 According to a study by Yonsei University / Korea, shungite is able to absorb and bind free radicals. This helps to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation caused by UVB radiation. A reduction in free radicals has a positive effect on the skin's ageing process.

Installation / filter change
Quick guide to changing the filter cartridge. The old cartridge does not need to be removed during initial installation. For detailed instructions, please read the operating instructions for your water filter.
filter change ELEMENT/DUO
- Unscrew the lower cover from the filter body (Element or Duo). (A)
- Pull the old cartridge out of the sealing cap with a slight twisting motion. (B)
- Press the new cartridge into the holder of the sealing cap with a slight twisting motion. (C)
- Screw the lower cover back onto the filter body. (D)
- Let the water run through the filter for a few seconds to activate the cartridge.
- The new cartridge is now ready for use.
- Before starting installation, connect the water supply line to the corresponding fitting.
- Unscrew the cold water supply hose from your angle valve to the fitting.
- Screw a second Flex hose connection onto the angle valve (included in the complete set and complete set with quick-release couplings).
- Then attach the filter housing (ELEMENT or FUSION) between the flex hose connection from the angle valve and the supply line to the fitting.
- Use an adapter if necessary.
- Open the water supply pipe at the angle valve.
- Slowly open the tap and let the water run through the filter for 20 seconds to activate the cartridge for operation. (Fusion: When activating the Active cartridge, the Nano cartridge must not )
-> Please read the supplied installation instructions before installation.
