Replacement water filter Torayvino MKC-EG for the Torayvino MK2 tap water filter

Carbon is a fine, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic black substance in powder form and is a completely natural product. It can be produced from peat, bamboo, charcoal, wood, sawdust, coconut shells, olive pits, as well as other sources (the carbon filters you see here are made from coconut shells).

Activated carbon is similar to regular carbon, heated in a controlled environment and in a vacuum. This way, it acquires an extremely porous surface. These microscopic holes, or pores, can increase the surface area of the carbon from 500 to 1500 m2/g.

Thus, it can bind various substances that come into contact with it, in liquid or gaseous form, and in quantities many times its weight. One cubic centimeter of activated carbon has the same area as a surface of 50,000 square meters.

Activated carbon water filters are divided into granular (i.e., powder form) and solid form (carbon block). The permeability of the carbon block (how tight it is) is measured in microns. The fewer microns a filter has, the "tighter" the filtration it performs.

The Torayvino MKC-EG replacement water filter fits only the Torayvino MK2 device and effectively reduces chlorine, chloroform, turbidity, microorganisms, bacteria, coliforms, and many other harmful substances.

The Torayvino MKC-EG replacement water filter has a lifespan of 3-4 months or up to 1500 liters of filtered water. The replacement filter is changed with a simple twist of your hand. The device includes detailed instructions for use to easily install the device in just a few minutes.

    Below you will find the announcement (translation and English text) from the manufacturer of Torayvino water filters.

    Dear Valued customers,
    First of all we would like to thank you for your preference at our products all this time. Recently, we have received several inquiries regarding the changes in the Torayvino water filters. We understand the dissatisfaction that, due to the removal of the transparent top window in Torayvino MKC.EG-EU replacement cartridge, Torayvino users are no longer able to visually check the condition of the filter. The transparent window in Torayvino replacement filters was removed, following a change to the plastic materials in the product. Specifically, several plastic materials were changed to materials that are fully compliant with the EU Food Contact Plastics Regulation (EU 10/2011).
    Most importantly, while the plastic materials were changed, Toray Industries, the manufacturer of Torayvino water filters confirms that filtration materials, filtration system and the water purification performance have remained unchanged. All Torayvino water filters are designed and manufactured based on the Japanese domestic testing method for household water purifiers (JIS S 3201), and Toray Industries guarantee the indicated performance based on these test results.
    Our commitment is to provide the highest standards of quality, safety, and reliability for Torayvino users. We hope this clarification is helpful for you.

    We hope this clarification will be useful to you.

    Also, the exclusive importer would like to inform Torayvino water filter users of the following:
    The lifespan of a faucet water filter may vary depending on the local conditions prevailing in the water. Some areas have recently experienced natural disasters such as floods, fires, and severe weather phenomena, which are believed to have affected the water supply network. Therefore, it is assumed that the water has been burdened with increased mud and other particles. Even if the filtering materials, the filtration system, and the water purification performance of a water filter remain the same, if a water filter has to remove larger amounts of sludge or other particles in the tap water, the performance of the water filter may decrease more quickly than before. In this case, it is recommended to consider measures such as installing a solid particle filter at the main water supply, to prevent the premature reduction in the performance of a filter.

    What happened to the company and the quality got worse? In just 2 months of use, the flow dropped dramatically.. I continued to use it with a lot of patience and 10 days later the lid, which used to be removable, got a hole in it!!! It's a shame, unfortunately it used to be very good!
