THE SCIENCE

The Science Behind Torus Pet

Designed with purpose. Built for pet health.

Every Torus Pet product is engineered using food-grade materials, advanced filtration, and antimicrobial technology to support cleaner, safer hydration — at home and on the go.

It's more than a bowl. Torus is a solution.

Maintains a consistent water levelReduces spills and splashingEncourages pets to drink naturallyWorks without electricity or pumps

MATERIALS

Food-Grade & Pet-Safe Materials

Safe enough for food. Strong enough for real life.

Torus Pet water dispensers are made using food-grade, BPA-free polypropylene (PP) — the same material trusted for food storage and medical applications.

Why it matters:

✅ No BPA, no harmful plasticizers
✅ Won't leach chemicals into your pet's water
✅ Tough, lightweight, and long-lasting
✅ Safe for daily, repeated use

Because your pet drinks from it every day — safety comes first.

UV PROTECTION

UV-Stabilised for Indoor & Outdoor Use

Built to perform wherever life takes you.

All Torus Pet dispensers are UV-stabilised, helping protect the bowl and bottle from degradation caused by sunlight.

Benefits:

Reduces plastic breakdown over time
Helps prevent discoloration and brittleness
Ideal for patios, yards, travel, trucks, and outdoor adventures

ANTIMICROBIAL PROTECTION

Integrated Antimicrobial Protection (IONPure®)

Protection built into the product — not sprayed on.

Every Torus Pet dispenser incorporates IONPure® antimicrobial technology into all plastic surfaces during manufacturing.

How it works:

IONPure releases silver ions at a microscopic level
These ions inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and algae on surfaces
Protection is permanent and non-leaching

What it does NOT do:

❌ It does not wash into your pet's water
❌ It does not replace proper cleaning
❌ It does not alter taste or smell

This is passive, built-in protection that works quietly in the background.

DUAL PROTECTION

Help protect your pet

IONPure®

Embedded into all plastic surfaces of the dispenser. Permanent, passive, non-leaching protection.

BioSafe®

Integrated into the Advanced Filter media only. Helps maintain filter cleanliness over its 30-day life.

Together, they provide layered antimicrobial support across both the product surfaces and the filtration system — each performing a distinct role.

FOR YOUR PET

Water when they need it. Clean every time.

Pets need water. A lot of it — roughly 1oz per pound of body weight each day. Cats are especially vulnerable to kidney problems when they don't drink enough. We designed Torus to make that daily requirement effortless: water stored safely in the walls, released into the drinking well at a controlled level. No spillage. No stale puddles. No empty bowl at the worst moment.

FILTRATION

Two Filtration Options. One Smart System.

Choose the right level of filtration for your pet.

STANDARD FILTER

Everyday filtration for fresh, great-tasting water

What it does:

Reduces chlorine and common odors
Helps improve taste and freshness
Supports hydration by making water more appealing

Best for:

Daily home use
Municipal tap water
Healthy adult pets

ADVANCED FILTER

Serious protection for sensitive pets and demanding environments

What makes it different:

Includes BioSafe® antimicrobial ingredients in the filter media
Helps inhibit the growth of bacteria and microbes within the filter
Supports cleaner, fresher water over extended use
Designed for higher-demand and variable water conditions

Best for:

Multi-pet households
Travel and unfamiliar water sources
Puppies, seniors, and sensitive pets
Homes seeking an added layer of filtration hygiene

BioSafe® works within the filter media to help maintain filter cleanliness — it does not leach into the water and does not replace regular filter changes.

SCIENCE FAQ

Your questions, answered.

Standard filters use activated carbon. Advanced filters have a perforated wall made from stainless steel for a more controlled release. They also contain FDA approved and NSF certified antimicrobial features that reduce bacteria and remove impurities.

Torus Pet's activated carbon filters contain small pieces of carbon that are very porous. With millions of tiny holes in each grain, just a few grams of activated carbon can cover the surface area of a sports field! This huge surface area enables activated carbon in both our Standard and Advanced filters to absorb contaminants and effectively remove them from water, so only clean water flows into the drinking well of the Torus. Activated carbon is most effective at absorbing contaminants when there's a slow water flow with low pressure and cold water. That's why water passes slowly through the Torus and into the drinking well in lower volumes—enough for your pet to drink instead of gulp in one go.

Activated carbon can effectively remove hundreds of contaminants found in tap water. Studies conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States (EPA) and NSF show that activated carbon is the only filter technology able to remove: all 32 identified organic contaminants including THMs (chlorine by-products), all 14 listed pesticides (e.g., glyphosate) including nitrates, and the 12 most common herbicides.

Activated carbon is powerful and can remove over seventy contaminants from water without stripping water from healthy minerals like magnesium. It doesn't remove dissolved metals like iron, which isn't considered a contaminant. Some microbiological contaminants like coliform, viruses, and small bacteria are more difficult to remove. Inorganic contaminants like arsenic, asbestos, and radionuclides are only partially removed.

Any Torus made in 2021 or later contains IONPure® antimicrobial in the plastic. Certified materials help reduce bacteria buildup. Feel free to contact us to receive a list of certifications.

Advanced Filters have BioSafe® antimicrobial and high-grade activated carbon used in potable water and food applications. The Torus itself also contains antimicrobial technology.

Torus water dispensers and filters are made of PET polypropylene. They are antimicrobial, food-grade, and 100% recyclable. Stainless steel is also used in the making of Advanced Filters.
