PiPrime: The 5-stage filtration process
Each of the five stages fulfils a specific function. Together, they produce water that is not only free from pollutants but also has a revitalised, living structure, comparable to natural spring water. And it works without electricity, without chemicals, and without a water connection.
Ceramic filter. The first line of defence.
The ceramic filter is the first stage of the process. It is the preliminary stage through which your tap water passes before the actual purification process begins.
With its extremely fine pores, the ceramic filter physically filters out anything that doesn’t belong in your drinking water: particles, scale and other residues from the water pipes.

Lime filtration. Reduces lime and heavy metals.
In the second stage, the water passes through the limescale filter pad. Here, specific problematic substances are removed from the water, including excess limescale and heavy metals.
It is particularly important to note that heavy metals such as lead or copper can enter the drinking water via old domestic plumbing. The limescale filter pad reliably reduces these contaminants.
The PiPrime K8 is fitted with limescale filter pads that are specially optimised for hard water (from approx. 14 °dH) and significantly reduce limescale.

Hinweis
Activated carbon. The heart of the filtration process.
The multi-layer filter cartridge containing high-performance activated carbon is at the heart of the MAUNAWAI system. It traps organic pollutants that could not be removed in the previous stages.
A key advantage: the flow rate in the MAUNAWAI is deliberately slower than in many other systems. This significantly increases the contact time between the water and the activated carbon, thereby substantially improving the filter’s performance. The material: activated carbon made from coconut shells
Entfernte Schadstoffe (Auszug)
Completely removed, no more chlorine taste
All 23 pesticides tested in the laboratory have been removed
Hormones, antibiotics, painkillers: below the limit of detection
Disinfection by-products. 99.2% reduction
All 10 substances tested (PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFNA, etc.). 99.99% reduction
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Below the limit of quantification
Total organic load: reduced by 88%
Invisible particles from the pipework: removed mechanically and by adsorption
The material: activated carbon made from coconut shells

Mineral ceramics. Just like in nature.
It is at this stage that MAUNAWAI begins to set itself apart from conventional filters: the purified water is revitalised. Zeolites, quartz and coral sand, as well as tourmaline ceramics, restore trace elements and the water’s natural structure, much like in a natural stream.
This process goes beyond simple filtration: the mineral ceramics enrich the water with trace elements and restore its natural cluster structure.
MAUNAWAI uses a proprietary blend of over 20 different highly porous mineral ceramics. The main components are:
Zeolite granules
Quartz and coral sand ceramics
Precious shungite
Tourmaline ceramic beads
Other ceramics in the mixture
Manufacture of ceramics (Generation 2)

Pi technology. Living water.
In the final stage, EM ceramics and calcium complete the regeneration process. The pH stabilises in the slightly alkaline range, and the water’s natural cluster structure is fully restored.
At the end of this process, your water will have properties that make it comparable to natural spring water: a revitalised structure, a balanced mineral content and a taste that you will notice straight away.

pH level
Approx. pH 8 (slightly alkaline). Corresponds to natural spring water.
redox potential
227–252 mV. Indicates the release of reducing substances.
coherence frequency
22.5 Hz (circularly polarised). Associated with optimal water absorption by the body.
Cellular water frequency
61.0 Hz. Properties similar to those of intracellular fluid in the biological resonance range.
Taste
Soft, fresh, pleasant. Retains its pleasant tea-like flavour even when stale or warmed. Hardly any other method achieves this.
Electrical conductivity
420–500 µS/cm. Slightly elevated due to mineral ions, but remains at around one-fifth of the limit value.
The result: revitalised water of spring-water quality. Pure, rich in minerals and easily absorbed by your body.

Eternity chemicals, and why long-term protection matters
PFAS enter the groundwater via industry, agriculture and household products, and remain there. Your body breaks them down only extremely slowly. That is why it is not enough to test for contaminants just once: what matters is that a filtration system provides reliable protection over a period of months. This is precisely what was demonstrated in an independent 12-month long-term study of the PiPrime.
None of the ten PFAS substances tested were detectable after filtration.
The accredited laboratory (DAkkS) tested for PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFNA and six other compounds. Reduction rates exceeded 99.99% in each case. For a gravity-fed system such as the PiPrime, which processes several litres a day, this level of consistency is crucial. Not just when new, but throughout its entire service life.
Six good reasons to choose the PiPrime K8
Proven to be clean
99.5% reduction in contaminants. Confirmed in an independent 12-month long-term study. The PiPrime reliably removes heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, hormones, pharmaceutical residues and microplastics from your water.
Living water instead of dead filtrate
Unlike reverse osmosis systems, the PiPrime does not remove everything. Minerals are retained, and the natural structure of the water is restored using PI technology with 21 mineral ceramics. The result: water that your body can utilise to the full.
Self-sufficient: no electricity, no mains water supply
Simply place the PiPrime wherever you need it. No installation, no technician, no hassle. Ideal for the kitchen, office, surgery or waiting room.
Noticeably reduced limescale (K8)
No more white limescale on pots, taps or in the kettle. The K8 uses heterogeneous catalysis, a natural process that involves no chemicals. The minerals are preserved in the process.
Long-lasting filter modules
One filter set lasts a whole year. Ceramic filter (12 months), cartridge (8–12 months), limescale pads (every 4–8 weeks). All are easy to replace without the need for tools.
Sustainable and plastic-free
No more plastic bottles. Hand-blown glass bottles instead of plastic. Manufactured in the EU, using natural filter media. Around 12 cents per litre for spring-quality water.

Tested for twelve months. No loss of performance
Many filters are only tested when brand new. The PiPrime was tested under real-world conditions for a whole year, and the results speak for themselves.
Throughout the entire twelve-month test period, the MAUNAWAI filter system demonstrated consistently high removal efficiency for heavy metals, pesticides and other pollutants — without any measurable degradation of the filter media.
Ready for soft water of spring-water quality?
Whether for your family, your practice or your office: the PiPrime K8 delivers fresh, revitalising water every day, free from limescale. With absolutely no effort required.
