Brazil is renowned for having one of the most effective water filtration systems in the world: the traditional clay filter. This system, celebrated for its ability to purify water, has long been a staple in Brazilian households. Despite its proven effectiveness, the traditional clay filter has encountered some aesthetic and functional resistance that has hindered its wider adoption, particularly in modern, urban environments. We present a modern reinterpretation of the clay filter, crafted from white ceramic. This white ceramic filter does not leave an aftertaste in the water, a common issue with traditional clay filters. Additionally, it does not create mold, which can be a significant problem in humid environments. The smooth, non-porous surface of the ceramic is easy to clean, ensuring that the filter remains hygienic with minimal effort. This contemporary design not only improves functionality but also enhances the aesthetic appeal, making it a suitable addition to modern urban spaces.
By integrating contemporary design with traditional Brazilian elements, this new filter model unlocks and boosts the usage of the time-tested filtration system in urban environments. It gains new spaces of use, appealing to a demographic that values both form and function. The sleek, modern appearance of the filter contributes to reducing the reliance on plastic water containers, promoting a more sustainable lifestyle and benefiting the environment. The health benefits of this filter are significant. The filtration process for this ceramic filters remains faithful to that of the traditional clay filters, employing a filter element known as VELA. This element retains solid particles, eliminates bacteria, and removes chlorine from the water, making it one of the most effective filtration processes for human consumption globally. By ensuring the purity of drinking water, the filter helps prevent waterborne illnesses and contributes to overall health and well-being.
Each of this filters is meticulously handcrafted, which means variations in color, shape, texture, and finish are inherent to the production process. These small “imperfections” are not defects but rather a testament to the craftsmanship involved in making each piece. They add to the charm and uniqueness of our products, ensuring that no two filters are exactly alike. This individual touch enhances the aesthetic value and personal connection to the product. The wooden components of this filters also exhibit natural variations in grain and tone, characteristic of the rescued and repurposed wood we use. These variations depend on the specific type and condition of the wood, making each piece distinctive. The faucet handles, for instance, are manually turned and shaped, resulting in slight differences that add to the product’s uniqueness and appeal.
This filter model holds a total of 4.5 liters of water, with a capacity of 3 liters of filtered water in the lower reservoir and 1.5 liters of water waiting to be filtered in the upper reservoir. It stands at 39 cm high, 23 cm wide, and weighs 4 kg. The PETIT 4.5 Liter Off White filter features a silver tap, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to its design. To maintain optimal filtration performance, the filter element, known as the CANDLE, should be replaced every six months. These CANDLES are readily available throughout Brazil, and we also offer a mail delivery service for convenience. We recommend using Stéfani triple action CANDLES to ensure the highest quality filtration. This combination of tradition and innovation makes this ceramic filter an ideal choice for those seeking effective, stylish, and sustainable water filtration solutions.
