The technology of periodic functioning of conventional filters is vulnerable. The sorption and ion exchange regime requires stable operating conditions and constant monitoring of the bacterial environment on the sorbent.

The accumulation of trapped bacteria in the volume of the filter (especially coal) leads to their active reproduction, which in turn contributes to the rapid biological fouling of the filter material.

There is no reliable indication of the end of the safe period of use of filters, although this requirement is the most important operational parameter. In the best case, the service life of the filter is indicated by the amount of filtered water, or, even worse, by time. But the shelf life depends on the degree of contamination of the source water, and on the time of contact of the filter material with water, and on the volume of water that has passed, and on the duration and number of breaks. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to determine the dangerous moment from which the filter turns into a direct threat to health, and this problem has not yet been reliably solved.

Coal, of course, purifies water from a wide class of impurities, but not from all. In the advertising of well-known filters, it is indicated that a carbon filter is able to reduce the content of organic impurities in water by 100 times, but in fact - only twice. The smallest rust (colloidal trivalent iron) and residual aluminum, activated carbon does not sorb, but it is silent about this. Coal does not purify hot water at all. Coal almost does not absorb some impurities (humic acids, colloidal suspensions). With the help of coal, it is impossible to deeply purify natural water. If this could be done, no one would resort to "reverse osmosis".

An old, long-used, carbon filter begins not to purify, but to pollute the water: the water at the inlet is better than at the outlet. This happens because the previously accumulated dirt begins to wash out of the coal mass. At the same time, the dust from coal filters contains the whole bouquet of pollutants, since activated carbons are created to capture them.

Chlorinated water passing through a household filter with activated carbon creates toxic substances and compounds. Chlorine is rather poorly retained by any types of filters (50-60%, no more). It reacts with fatty acids and activated carbon particles in filters. These tiny amounts of dust particles are enough to boil water with residual chlorine to form a powerful poison – dioxin, which affects a person at the genetic level. The fundamental difference of shungite is that the shungite carbon contained in it does not react even in boiling acid. Boiling chlorinated water with shungite does not lead to the appearance of dioxin due to the extreme stability of shungite carbon and especially fullerenes. Analysis of the results of shungite studies revealed 100% efficacy relative to dioxin (at its initial concentration of 1 ng/l).

Studies have shown that the filtrate cannot be used until 4-5 volumes of purified water pass through the shungite layer. The contact time with water should be at least 10-15 hours. However, almost all designs of existing household filters provide for connection to a water tap, or recommend a filtration rate of 1-2 liters / min with internal volumes of these cleaners of the order of 1 liter. At this rate of water pumping, the filter cannot bind even inorganic impurities by more than 5-10%, and organic impurities are sorbed and decomposed by adsorbents ten times slower.

Silver is quite expensive.

Silver has no adsorption properties and cannot be used for filtration by itself.

Silver as a metal accumulates in the body and, with certain amounts, becomes harmful to humans.
