Frequently asked questions

AM/AMS cartridges have silver ions integrated into the filter media, which release into the water as it flows through and inhibit the growth and proliferation of bacteria and microbes within the filter itself — a standard spun filter has no such protection and can become a site for bacterial growth over time, particularly on stagnant or low-flow lines.

No — the silver ion treatment protects the filter media itself from bacterial growth and biofilm buildup, it isn't a certified disinfection stage for your water supply. If you need to address bacterial safety in your water, that's the job of a UV system or chemical disinfection, not the antimicrobial spun filter.

Borehole and well water treatment, water pump protection, private water supply systems, and as pre-filtration ahead of UV treatment — anywhere sediment filtration combined with resistance to bacterial growth in the filter itself is valuable.

Yes — by resisting bacterial growth and biofilm accumulation within the filter media, AM/AMS cartridges help prevent the musty or unpleasant odours that can develop in a standard spun filter left in place for extended periods, particularly on lower-flow or seasonal-use systems.

Single-use, like other spun-bonded cartridges. The antimicrobial treatment protects the media while it's in service, but the cartridge itself should still be replaced on a normal sediment-loading schedule rather than cleaned and reused.
