## Background of Development
In recent years, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been detected in tap water across various parts of Japan, becoming a significant social issue.
"Is it okay for my children to drink tap water directly?" "Do I have no choice but to keep buying bottled water?"
Amidst increasing concerns about water safety among households, ViVi Water developed the new "High Grade Plus" cartridge, a significant upgrade from conventional cartridges, based on the desire to "deliver safe drinking water in the easiest way possible."
In addition to the conventional "activated carbon layer," a specially manufactured "antivirus filter" has been newly incorporated.
The target substances for removal have been significantly expanded from the conventional 23 types to 50 types.
This includes PFAS, as well as bacteria and viruses like E. coli and norovirus.
By simply pouring tap water, ViVi Water provides an environment where safe and secure water can be consumed at home anytime.
