How It Works
Pour 5 litres of 40% spirit into the upper reservoir which is then filtered by the two-stage cartridge system as it makes its way to the lower reservoir.
The essencia Carbon Filter combines the sub micron properties of ceramic filtration with an effectively packed bed of specially formulated activated carbon.
Using the essencia Carbon Filter
Fill the upper reservoir. Spirits should be at your drinking strength (normally 40% ABV or lower.)
Filtered product will emerge into the lower reservoir from the bottom of the Carbon Cartridge.
Filtered product can be drawn off through the tap as required.
The upper reservoir can be topped up as the level drops.
Various ways to use:
The essencia Carbon Filter is a gravity system, and filters product when the fluid level in the upper reservoir is higher than the level in the lower reservoir. The system stops processing when the levels are even.
Because of this, the essencia Carbon Filter can be used in several ways:
Batch: Process and draw off whole batches, drawing off filtered product through the tap in the lower reservoir to keep the level in the lower reservoir lower than in the upper reservoir
Storage: Continue to top up the upper reservoir until both reservoirs are full. Draw off filtered product as required for use, topping up the upper reservoir as the level drops.
Continuous: Process with the tap on the lower reservoir open. Filtered product will flow from the tap as it is filtered and can be collected in another vessel.
