Acquapuro ACQ-0.IFC Filter
A high performance 0.1 micron Acquapuro water filter for compatible 3 way kitchen filter taps, designed to improve drinking water taste, reduce fine particulates, reduce cysts and support cleaner everyday filtered water.
Why Choose the Acquapuro ACQ-0.IFC Filter?
0.1 Micron Filtration
Designed to reduce very fine particles and provide stronger filtration than a basic carbon only cartridge.
4 Stage Filter Design
Combines felt pre-filtration, carbon block, scale control media and UF membrane filtration.
30,000 Litre Capacity
Rated up to 30,000 litres, depending on water quality, pressure and usage.
Quick 1/4 Turn Change
Sanitary cartridge replacement with a simple quarter turn fitting method.
Advanced Drinking Water Filtration for Acquapuro Tap Systems
The Acquapuro ACQ-0.IFC is designed for use with compatible kitchen filtration taps and other drinking water applications. It helps improve the taste, appearance and consistency of drinking water while supporting reduction claims for chlorine taste and odour, particulate Class 1, turbidity, cysts and bacteriostatic performance.
This makes it a suitable choice for customers who want a stronger filtration option than a simple taste and odour cartridge.
4 Stage Filtration Process
1. Felt Pre-Filter
Helps capture larger particles before water reaches the main filtration media.
2. Carbon Block
Helps reduce chlorine taste and odour while improving everyday drinking water quality.
3. Scale Control Media
Polyphosphate media helps reduce scale formation, depending on configuration and local water conditions.
4. UF Membrane
The 0.1 micron UF membrane provides fine mechanical filtration for selected contaminants.
Certification and Performance Data
| NSF Standards | Tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for specific reduction claims. |
| Chlorine Taste and Odour | 97.3% average reduction shown in the performance data sheet. |
| Nominal Particulate Class 1 | More than 99.9% average reduction for particles greater than 0.5 microns to less than 1 micron. |
| Cyst Reduction | More than 99.99% average reduction shown in the performance data sheet. |
| Turbidity | More than 99.1% average reduction shown in the performance data sheet. |
| Bacteriostatic | Listed as pass. This means the system helps inhibit bacterial growth within the cartridge; it does not mean unsafe water is sterilised. |
Simple Quarter Turn Filter Replacement
The ACQ-0.IFC cartridge is designed for straightforward replacement. Shut off the water, relieve line pressure, rotate the old cartridge counter clockwise by a quarter turn, remove it, insert the new cartridge, rotate clockwise until it clicks, then flush the filter for 5 minutes before use.
The manufacturer recommends replacing the disposable cartridge every 12 months, before rated capacity is reached, or sooner if there is a noticeable reduction in flow rate.

The manufacturer recommends replacing the cartridge every 12 months, before rated capacity is reached, or sooner if there is a noticeable reduction in flow rate.
What does 0.1 micron filtration mean?
It means the filter is designed for very fine mechanical filtration. The ACQ-0.IFC uses a 0.1 micron UF membrane as part of its 4 stage filtration process.
Does this filter remove bacteria?
The technical data includes bacterial reduction and bacteriostatic claims. However, the filter should not be used with microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without suitable disinfection before or after the system.
Is the cartridge easy to change?
Yes. It uses a quarter turn replacement method. After fitting the new cartridge, flush the filter for 5 minutes before use.
Can this filter be used on hot water?
No. This filter is for cold water only and should not be installed on hot water supply lines.
