How LotusDY Works

The LotusDY uses the same patented TipaTech Air-Release stage family as the T-18 — installed at the top of the filter head with a dedicated gas trapper. It's engineered to help release trapped air and certain undissolved gases commonly present in water systems:

• Designed to help release undissolved gases including sulfur-related (hydrogen sulfide), radon-related, and chlorine compounds — subject to source water conditions
• Dedicated gas trapper captures released gases at the head of the filter
• Helps limit internal conditions that may promote microbial growth within the filtration pathway
• Supports improved water freshness and overall water quality at the tap

Polypropylene pre-filter stage designed to help reduce coarse particles such as sand and sediment, helping prepare the water for downstream carbon and membrane stages:

• Reduces sand, sediment, and visible particulate matter
• Protects downstream activated-carbon and membrane stages from clogging
• Contributes to extended cartridge life

Granular activated carbon and specialized media designed to:

• Help reduce chlorine and chloramine
• Reduce color, turbidity, and unpleasant tastes and odors
• Support overall water quality improvement as part of the multi-stage filtration process
• Reduction levels may vary depending on source water quality and operating conditions

Internal collection chamber designed to capture and contain separated contaminants and suspended waste, helping prevent re-entry into the treated water stream:

• Isolates accumulated impurities as part of the system's closed filtration pathway
• Helps limit discharge of separated contaminants back into the environment
• Supports cleaner output water — no drain-line connection required

A final carbon polishing stage engineered to further enhance taste and odor for a cleaner, smoother drinking experience. Optimized to refine water quality after primary filtration for noticeably improved palatability.

A ceramic-based media stage designed to support adsorption of certain chemical compounds as part of the multi-stage filtration process:

• Engineered to help reduce certain organic and inorganic chemical compounds
• Performance varies depending on source water quality and operating conditions

TipaTech's patented No-Smosis™ proprietary membrane operates at nominal performance down to approximately ~0.007 microns:

• Engineered to help preserve naturally occurring minerals (unlike typical reverse osmosis, which significantly reduces overall mineral content)
• Designed to help reduce cyst-sized particulates commonly associated with organisms such as Giardia (depending on source water)
• Reduces rust particles, sediment, and fine particulate matter including microplastic fibers
• Reduces a broad range of chemical and inorganic contaminants — including certain heavy metals (such as lead and mercury) and certain radioactive-element compounds (including uranium- and thorium-related constituents) — subject to influent water quality
• Reduces contaminants associated with agricultural runoff (including arsenic-related compounds) and trace pharmaceutical residues, where present
• Operates without electricity and without a continuous drain-line connection

The LotusDY is engineered to support lower ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) values compared to typical tap water:

• ORP is a physicochemical parameter commonly discussed in water science in connection with antioxidant-related properties
• Lower ORP values are often discussed in scientific literature as an indicator of certain water quality characteristics
• Achieved through TipaTech's patented design — no chemical additives, no electricity
• Actual ORP values vary by source water quality and operating conditions

The LotusDY's Hydronator module is designed to generate and integrate hydrogen nano-bubbles into the water prior to dispensing:

• Closed-loop process engineered to help retain dissolved hydrogen in the water
• Produced without electricity — driven by household water pressure
• Stable nano-scale bubbles designed for consistent user experience at the tap
• Dissolved hydrogen levels vary by source water, flow rate, and operating conditions
