虹吸净水器是一种烛形净水器，它利用吸引压力迫使水通过高质量陶瓷过滤元件。这种创新的利用吸虹的方法可以达到每小时4到6公升的高速流量。吸虹净水器十分简洁，只有一个过滤元件、一个塑料孔，和一个必备的阀门，同时也可以利用现有的储藏容器。在水进入陶瓷元件之前，一块可洗的布被用作预滤器。这样的话，在用浑水的话，它可以防止陶瓷元件过早堵塞。净水器被设计用作家庭日用使用点。过滤元件是用银浸渍的，以此来提高过滤的效率。虹吸净水器是一种烛形净水器，它利用吸引压力迫使水通过高质量陶瓷过滤元件。这种创新的利用吸虹的方法可以达到每小时4到6公升的高速流量。吸虹净水器十分简洁，只有一个过滤元件、一个塑料孔，和一个必备的阀门，同时也可以利用现有的储藏容器。在水进入陶瓷元件之前，一块可洗的布被用作预滤器。这样的话，在用浑水的时候，它可以防止陶瓷元件过早堵塞。净水器被设计用作家庭日用使用点。过滤元件是用银浸渍的，以此来提高过滤的效率。

====Operation净水流程====The filter element is placed in a container with contaminated water, situated about 70 cm above the clean water container. The siphon action is started by squeezing the rubber bulb. The siphon pressure forces the water through the filter element, ensuring a high flow of water将过滤元件放置在盛满污水的容器中，并将污水容器固定于清水容器上方约70厘米处。通过挤压橡胶水泵诱发虹吸现象。透过虹吸压力，净水器会迫使水通过过滤元件，并达致高速的水流。====仪器制造====虹吸过滤器是由Basic Water Need India研发及生产的。该公司总部位于荷兰，生产工厂位于印度本地治里。陶瓷过滤器非常脆弱，塑料却坚固耐用。在2011年之前，公司已在严格的质量把控下，通过粘封过滤器顶盖，解决了泄漏问题。新的型号批次没有这种泄漏问题。整个塑料水泵都是由EVA（医用塑料软管的材料）制成。由于缺乏严格的质量把控以及可用的原材料，在当地生产过滤器是不可行的。有时候，就算以上条件都符合，但仅因缺乏初始投资，也无法在当地进行生产。可是，透过进口过滤器元件，便能将过滤器元件与当地的塑胶部件进行组装。 Basic Water Needs会参与整个组装过程，并作出严格的质量把控。如果当地拥有工业相关的基础设施，本地生产便可实现。使用陶瓷过滤元件制造的其他产品分别是郁金香座台式净水器和郁金香组合净水器。====高效净水====虹吸过滤器已通过了Waterlaboratorium Noord的认证测试。 Waterlaboratorium Noord是一所位于荷兰的独立实验室。测试显示即使过滤了7000升严重污染的水，过滤器仍然可滤除99.99％以上的大肠杆菌。大肠杆菌试验为滤除水中病原菌的指标。水生细菌是诱发大部分受水污染所引致的疾病病因。====后期保养====一段时间后，由于过滤元件的堵塞，水流的速度可能会降低。在这种情况下，透过反冲洗功能便能清洁过滤器。只需关闭阀门和挤压橡胶水泵，迫使水流倒回经过过滤器元件，冲出污垢颗粒，使过滤器畅通。这种反冲洗方法可以增加过滤元件的使用寿命。
====Manufacturing====
The Siphon filter was developed and is now produced by Basic Water Needs India, a company based in the Netherlands, with a factory in Pondicherry, India. The ceramic filter is quite fragile, the plastic is robust. Before 2011, leakage problems were solved by gluing the candle caps under strict quality control, however newer models do not have this leakage problem. Plastic bulbs are made in one piece from EVA (material used in hospitals for plastic hoses).
It is not possible to produce the filter locally due to a lack of quality control and unavailability of raw materials or sometimes only the initial investments needed for this. It is possible however, to import the filter elements and assemble these into local plastic parts. This is always done in cooperation with and under the quality control of Basic Water Needs. Local production will be applicable if there’s existing industrial infrastructure. Other products made with the ceramic filter element is the Tulip Table Top water filter and Tulip Group filter.
====Treatment Efficiency====
The Siphon filter has been tested using a certified method by “Waterlaboratorium Noord”, an independent laboratory based in the Netherlands. It was found that even after passing 7000 liters of heavily contaminated water, the filter still removed E. Coli by more than 99.99%. The E. Coli test is used as an indicator for the removal of pathogenic bacteria in water. Water-borne bacteria are responsible for the large majority of diseases caused by contaminated water.
====Maintenance====
After some time, the flow rate may reduce because of clogging of the filter element. In this case, the filter can be cleaned by backwashing. This is done by closing the valve and squeezing the rubber bulb, which forces the water back through the filter element, pushing dirt particles out and unclogging the filter. This backwash option increases the lifetime of the filter element.
