In a world of constant evolution where technology progresses at a dizzying pace, it is sometimes comforting to see that some things remain unchanged. Cintropur filters, developed 10, 20, 30, or even 50 years ago for the very first models, are a poignant example of this.

Despite the advancement of lightweight materials and engineering innovations, our filters retain their longevity and reliability, thus advocating for robustness in an ever-changing landscape.

We, as Belgian manufacturer, take pride in maintaining the tradition of these plastic filters that have proven themselves over the decades. Unlike the general trend of reducing the amount of material used in production, we have not succumbed to this pressure. Our filters remain true to their original design, with an unchanged plastic surface and openings that have stood the test of time.

Why no electronics?

Some might wonder why we haven’t automated our filters with control valves or self-regulators to cope with pressure fluctuations. The answer is simple: because our filters simply don’t need it. Their robust design and quality ensure a consistent lifespan, eliminating the need for costly and complex technologies to maintain their performance.

Indeed, our filters still have the same lifespan, low maintenance costs, and the same robustness as they did when first created. This consistency in quality is a testament to the trust our customers have in knowing they can rely on our products year after year, almost 50 years now!

Keeping an eye open and sleeping soundly

However, this doesn’t mean that users can sleep soundly without worrying about maintenance. Since the beginning, we have included essential information in our user manuals regarding the replacement schedules for screens, activated carbon, and UV lamps. This recommendation aims to ensure optimal water treatment, taking into account the natural wear and tear of these consumables over time.

Predictive maintenance and monitoring remain essential practices to ensure the proper functioning of our filters and any water filtration system. While our products are robust, they are not immune to normal wear and tear. Therefore, it is imperative that users continue to regularly monitor their filters and follow our recommendations for replacing the necessary components, which have been in stock since their inception.

Conclusion of 50 years of existence

Our advocacy for the robustness of Cintropur filters and sterilizers, as well as Cintroclear water purifiers, predictive maintenance, and monitoring, serves as a reminder that the reliability of quality products endures over time. Our filters, unchanged for decades, continue to deliver consistent performance, and while users can have confidence in their longevity, it is essential to remain vigilant about maintenance to ensure optimal water treatment.

Rainwater, which is natural and free, and well water, which is often abundant and local, are attracting a growing amount of interest from those wishing to opt for a more ecological and sustainable approach to their water supply.

However, the consumption of such water requires particular attention when it comes to quality and potability.

Wells : water resources to be used with care.

Wells are fundamental water sources, but their quality varies depending, for example, on geographical location and environmental conditions.

It is very important to understand that this water cannot automatically be considered potable. Some wells may be contaminated with pathogens and dangerous chemicals.

It is therefore essential to carry out a thorough laboratory analysis of this water. This will determine whether it complies with the potability water criteria and standards in force.

Every water source is unique, so it’s essential to work on a case-by-case basis.

For the interpretation of this water analysis, Airwatec is here to help ! We are a Belgian company, founder of the brand Cintropur, and specialized in water treatment solutions.

Thanks to our range of water filtration products, we have the solution you need to enjoy high-quality water from now on !

However, we strongly recommend that you perform this laboratory analysis regularly.

In fact, water that complies with standards at a given moment may later become non-compliant if changes occur.

Rainwater : a precious gift from nature.

Rainwater is a free resource, falling generously from the sky depending on the climate.

Collecting it offers many economic and environmental advantages.

It can easily be used for external household purposes (watering and gardening), floor cleaning and for flushing the toilets.

However, when it comes to using it for other purposes, it is essential to ensure its quality. Airwatec has made this its speciality.

Unlike wells, rainwater rarely needs a laboratory analysis.

In general, it is less subject to chemical contaminants. Nevertheless, it can be exposed to pollution from the roof, gutters or during its stay in the cistern.

That’s where 3 essential steps come into play. Filtering, treating and sterilizing this water will enable you to use it for many sanitary applications in the house (washing machines, dishwashers, baths, showers and washbasins)! We do not recommend using this water for cooking or as a hot or cold drink.)

Keeping your rainwater tank clean remains an important parameter. It will condition the quality of the stored water and the entire subsequent filtration and treatment process.

Cintropur’s TRIO-UV : the perfect combination for consumable water.

Cintropur offers a complete range of water filters and accessories, including the TRIO-UV, providing a triple treatment in a single device !

It begins with a filter screen that retains suspended particles, followed by activated carbon to remove odours, pesticides and herbicides, and to clarify the water. The final stage is a UVc sterilizer to eliminate undesirable micro-organisms present in the water.

After treatment with the TRIO-UV, this water will be considerably better quality for many sanitary applications in the home.

To conclude : let’s enjoy nature with care.

Rainwater and well water are precious natural resources that can be exploited with full knowledge of the facts, thanks to our water treatment solutions.

But it’s crucial to remember that every situation is unique, and that clear and transparent water is not necessarily consumable or potable.

Airwatec, along with its network of dealers, is always available to support and inform customers who want to understand and control their water quality. Feel free to contact us !

Don’t forget that every drop of water counts, so let’s make it a precious commodity for our health, our planet and our wallet !

To protect the quartz glass, especially in vibration-sensitive installations, Cintropur has developed an extended venting screw in PVDF.

This screw optimally supports the quartz glass and allows for monitoring the lamp’s operation.

How do you check if the lamp is working?

You can check the operating lamp through the purple/blue irradiation visible in the venting screw at the bottom of the black bowl.

To optimize the replacement/installation of the quartz glass in the Cintropur UV2100 and UV4100, we have prepared the assembly tool from the workshop for the maintenance technicians.

With this tool, the O-rings are placed optimally, and the quartz glass can be safely installed.

Feel free to check out the maintenance videos in the meantime.
