Description

SINAI - Fuente a Salud P. 103867 Conrado Granell. Large baluster filter fountain on base. 159 x 40 cm (Damage, chips, cracks, restorations) Did you know? Water filters began to be manufactured in Valencia at the end of the 19th century, as part of the hygiene movement and the desire to prevent epidemics and bacteriological diseases. A more sophisticated type of water filter was the Sinai: in addition to its filtering and purifying function, it was prepared to correct water and convert it into mineral and medicinal water. A Sinaï is a type of water filter invented in 1926 by the Valencian chemist and biologist Conrado Granell and patented in 1927. In addition to its filtering and purifying functions, the SINAI was designed to correct water and convert it into mineral-medicinal water. The Sinai is made from a mould of white limestone paste. The various containers contain mineral matter, activated carbon, porous stones, etc., which purify the water as it passes through (at a rate of eight litres in ten hours), before finally being collected in the central container. "The SINAI device, as you can easily understand, is not just another filter; it is quite simply a prodigious miniature mineral spring that produces, at will, completely and perfectly purified and revitalised mineral table and medicinal waters, (...) With a SINAI, it is no longer necessary to go and find the medicinal spring. The source of healing itself is brought home.
