Water Filtration That Keeps Natural Minerals, for Better Health

We’ve taken our hollow fiber membrane technology to a higher level of performance for a wide range of water purifier models, with standout benefits in cleanliness, safety, and the retention of natural minerals.

Hollow fiber membrane technology

Japan’s Leader in Drinking Water Filtration Innovation

As early as 1970, Mitsubishi Rayon (now Mitsubishi Chemical Cleansui) became the first company in the world to successfully research and develop high-precision polyethylene “hollow fiber membrane” technology, using it in blood purification systems and for direct drinking water filtration.

Because We Know “Minerals in Water” Matter to Your Health

The natural minerals in drinking water play an important role in immunity and bodily functions. That’s why we combine hollow fiber membranes with a multi-layer filtration system to deliver water that’s clean, safe, and full of natural goodness in every drop.

4 Highlights of Hollow Fiber Membrane Technology

Large filtration surface area

Millions of pores across the membrane surface let water flow through freely without clogging, handling large volumes with micron-level filtration while retaining the minerals your body benefits from.

Ultra-fine 0.01-micron pores

Up to 4 times the filtration area of flat-sheet filters and 10 times that of ordinary activated carbon, so it filters out impurities effectively without clogging and lasts longer.

Chemical-free

The membrane is made from high-quality polyethylene with no solvents or plasticizers, so you can be sure the filtered water is clean, safe, and ready to drink.

Durable and long-lasting

Made with a special fiber melting and stretching process for exceptional strength, it can be used continuously for up to 12 months, even under varying conditions and water pressures.

A Smart 4-Layer Filtration System, All in One

Mitsubishi Cleansui’s filtration technology removes up to 17 groups of harmful contaminants (under Japan’s JIS 3201 standard) by combining 4 filtration layers in a single cartridge. It is well suited to tap water quality in Thailand and retains the natural minerals that are good for your health, giving you clean, safe water you can drink straight from the faucet.

A 4-Layer Filtration Structure for Truly Clean Water

Cleansui filtration technology: 4-layer filtration structure 01

Non-woven Fabric Layer

Captures large impurities and suspended solids such as dust, particles, and rust, using a 3D structure that traps contaminants from 0.01 mm, without chemicals.

Ion Exchange Fiber Layer

Removes harmful heavy metals such as lead, manganese, iron, and mercury, with 10–100 times the ion exchange and adsorption capacity of granular systems. Stable and durable, it doesn’t swell in water.

Activated Carbon Layer

Adsorbs residual chlorine, organic compounds, pesticides, and unpleasant odors without reducing the water’s natural minerals. Mitsubishi Cleansui’s activated carbon is up to 3 times more effective than ordinary carbon.

Hollow-Fiber Membrane Layer

Water permeates from the outer surface into the inside of the fibers through ultra-fine pores (0.01 micron), thoroughly filtering out extremely small contaminants such as algae, microorganisms, bacteria, turbidity, and some metals, while letting beneficial minerals (Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺) pass through.
