LAVIE launches a new range: say goodbye to PFAS and heavy metals

TheLife
gamme de produits LAVIE

LAVIE expands its product range to meet the diverse needs of its users in water filtration. Now, in addition to the UV-A water purifiers that have built LAVIE’s reputation, we offer a pre-filtration solution: Opropre Turquoise. These two technologies provide a comprehensive solution to eliminate a wide range of contaminants and achieve perfectly pure water.

Why these new filters?

At LAVIE, our mission is to offer water purification solutions that meet the varied and evolving needs of our customers. While our UV-A water purifiers ensure complete microbiological disinfection and help improve the taste of water by reducing chlorine and its derivatives by over 90%, we wanted to go further by launching the Opropre filters.

These new pre-filtration filters are designed to treat certain chemical and physical contaminants present in tap water, such as heavy metals, microplastics / nanoplastics, pesticides, and PFAS (eternal pollutants), which cannot (or can only very weakly) be destroyed by electrochemical processes.

At the time we developed our UV-A purification technology, PFAS, microplastics, and nanoplastics were not yet common measurement topics in the field of drinking water. However, at LAVIE, we are committed to anticipating and addressing the growing concerns of users regarding water quality. That is why we developed the Opropre Turquoise filters, which use coconut shell activated carbon and a specialized resin to capture these particles before they pass through the UV-A purifier.

A strengthened ecological commitment with Opropre filters

By launching the Opropre filters, LAVIE maintains and strengthens its ecological commitments. The Opropre filtration cartridges are deposited and reusable, thus minimizing waste and environmental impact. After use, each cartridge is returned to be filled with new activated carbon, while the used carbon is processed and recycled in industrial channels. The Opropre Turquoise model goes even further by integrating material separation, allowing for the independent recycling of activated carbon and resins.

This approach allows us to offer a solution that protects not only the health of our customers but also the planet. With Opropre products, you benefit from advanced filtration without compromising the environment, true to our philosophy of waste reduction and sustainability.

Which system to choose?

So what to choose among LAVIE products to purify your tap water: the Opropre pre-filters? the UV-A purifiers? both?

For microbiological disinfection and taste improvement: The LAVIE UV-A water purifier is sufficient. It ensures water free from bacteria and viruses, with a reduction of chlorine, pesticides, and traces of medications for water that is pleasant in taste and odorless.

For the removal of chemical and physical contaminants: The Opropre filters are ideal if you are particularly concerned about the presence of heavy metals and microplastics. The Turquoise model offers protection against PFAS for users keen on eliminating these “forever chemicals.”

A complementarity to act on the entire spectrum of tap water contaminants

The new Opropre Turquoise pre-filtration filters address users’ concerns:

  • Opropre Turquoise : Designed to eliminate heavy metals, microplastics, and nanoplastics using high-quality activated carbon. Equipped with a specialized resin, it also targets PFAS (the “forever chemicals”), for extensive protection against chemicals.

Why choose the Opropre Pre-filtration + UV-A Purifier?

  1. Double protection : The Opropre Turquoise pre-filtration removes chemical and physical contaminants, while the UV-A LaVie purifier ensures the destruction of microorganisms and chlorine.
  2. Optimal water quality: By combining the two systems, you obtain water free from heavy metals, microplastics, PFAS, pesticides, and also free from bacteria and viruses.
  3. Improved taste: The reduction of chlorine and odors by the UV-A system provides water with a pleasant taste and no undesirable smell.
  4. Ecological approach: UV-A water purifiers do not use filters, and the cartridges of Opropre filters are designed to be refillable and returnable, thus limiting environmental impact.

Oh, and we almost forgot! LAVIE has also just launched ODOUCE, an anti-limescale system. This is a distinct product in our range as it specifically addresses limescale, which is not considered a contaminant of drinking water but rather a natural mineral element. ODOUCE has been designed to limit limescale deposits without affecting the trace elements present in the water, making it an excellent complement to LAVIE purification solutions without interfering in the filtration process of contaminants.
