Alka Spring Specification

The ALKA SPRING is a revolutionary antioxidant composite cartridge that ionizes and enhances tap water using Far-Infra-Red (FIR) Energy Beads and Mineral balls. This system raises tap water pH to 8.5-9.5, infuses it with negative ORP antioxidants, and restructures water molecules for better hydration and absorption. It also increases oxygen uptake and retains essential minerals, supporting daily health and vitality.

Distinctive features of the ALKA SPRING include its use of FIR beads, made from natural maifanshi stone and seabed minerals, to emit beneficial infrared energy, and its capacity to enrich water with up to 90 trace minerals like strontium and lithium for improved bodily functions.

The ALKA SPRING is particularly effective with different water sources. Rainwater, often acidic and mineral-deficient, benefits from remineralization, especially when stored in concrete tanks which naturally alkalinize the water. Conversely, Reverse Osmosis water, which is free of contaminants but also stripped of minerals, requires demineralization to enhance pH and antioxidant presence effectively.

Installation may require additional accessories like a FILTER ATTACHMENT KIT or a FILTER TAP, with several types available to meet user needs.

The cartridge also features Maifenite, or "Wisdom Stone", packed with a broad spectrum of minerals and trace elements, renowned in Asia for its health-promoting properties.

FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions below.

UV (Ultraviolet) filtration is a water treatment method that uses ultraviolet light to disinfect and purify water. When water passes through a UV filter, it is exposed to UV-C light, which is germicidal and capable of inactivating or destroying various microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
The UV light disrupts the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing and rendering them unable to cause infections or illnesses. UV filtration is particularly effective in eliminating waterborne pathogens that are resistant to other forms of water treatment, such as chlorine.
UV filtration does not remove other contaminants like chemicals, heavy metals, or sediment from water. Its primary purpose is to target and deactivate harmful microorganisms. Therefore, UV filtration is often used in conjunction with other water treatment methods, such as carbon filters or sediment filters, to ensure comprehensive water purification.
It is important to note that UV filtration requires a power source to operate and regular maintenance to ensure the UV lamp is functioning correctly. Monitoring and periodic replacement of the UV lamp are necessary to maintain its effectiveness in disinfecting the water.

According to our supplier The flow-restricter is a part that must be included in the package due to qualification reasons. However, it is not necessary to install the flow restricer. The flow restricter bring the flow down to 40l/min. Our reccomendation for the flow rate is 58l/min and peak flow 11l/min.

Installing our water filtration system is designed to be straightforward, and drilling a hole in your benchtop can be simpler than you think! For common materials like laminate, wood, or stainless steel, most plumbers can easily handle drilling with standard tools. If your benchtop is made of specialized materials, such as stone or glass, we recommend working with a skilled professional to ensure a precise and clean cut. And if you’re in the building or renovation phase, let your installer know the hole size and location in advance—this can make the installation process even easier! We're here to support you every step of the way.
