From tapto glass

Aksu installs water filters for homes and offices in Baku. Tap water passes through five stages and reaches the glass as drinking water.

Animation: tap water passes through five filters, each holding back its own impurities, and clean water pours into a glass at the end.

Water travels a long way

Baku's water travels more than 180 kilometres along the Samur–Absheron canal and the Oguz–Gabala water main. It is treated at the plant, but it passes through old pipes and reaches your tap hard and tasting of chlorine.

Five stages

Each stage takes out one layer of the water. The order is deliberate: coarse particles are caught first so the fine membrane does not clog early.

  1. Sediment filter

    Polypropylene fibre holds back everything larger than 5 micron: sand, rust, pipe debris. It is the first gate, and it protects the filters after it.

    Material
    PP fibre, 5 micron
    Replacement
    3–6 months
    Sediment filter: PP fibre, 5 micron
  2. Granular carbon

    Activated carbon from coconut shell absorbs chlorine and its smell. Chlorine also damages the membrane, so it is caught here.

    Material
    GAC, coconut carbon
    Replacement
    6 months
    Granular carbon: GAC, coconut carbon
  3. Carbon block

    Compressed carbon filters more finely. It takes out organic compounds, traces of pesticides and any remaining taste.

    Material
    CTO block, 5 micron
    Replacement
    6 months
    Carbon block: CTO block, 5 micron
  4. Reverse osmosis

    Under pressure, the water passes through a 0.0001 micron membrane. Dissolved salts, heavy metals, nitrates and bacteria go to the drain.

    Material
    TFC membrane, 0.0001 micron
    Replacement
    18–24 months
    Reverse osmosis: TFC membrane, 0.0001 micron
  5. Mineral and final carbon

    Calcium and magnesium go back into the clean water, and the final carbon polishes the taste. The water is soft but not empty.

    Material
    Mineraliser, T33 carbon
    Replacement
    12 months
    Mineral and final carbon: Mineraliser, T33 carbon
