The age of abundance must end
Water is life, it’s vital to our survival, yet our waters are awash with toxic chemicals.
Plastic, to readily available and too easily tossed to landfill, which in time leach to waterways.
We must all play our part, local solutions are needed, agricultural and industrial are the biggest contributors but, we need their output, and they are not the only problem, we are all custodians of this planet and so we must all contribute to the solution.
Our approach to use of water and plastic has simply got to change, HUFe can help make a difference, and in the process provide many benefits to personal health and the planet.
Founding HUFe
Hi there, my name is Colan Badham,

How the HUFe journey began
3 years ago, I discovered that chlorine was having a negative impact on my 3-year-olds skin. I purchased an online bath filter and discovered it didn’t satisfy his needs, so I set about using my industrial knowledge to create a more beneficial, yet sustainable product utilising coconut shell carbon as the main filter media. Prototype 1 – aka the ‘Bath Ball’ was an improvement for chlorine removal over my retailed purchase but, it was far away from one that would retail, you won’t disagree when viewing the below drawing and YouTube link.
Original Bath Ball conceptual sketch
Bath Ball original prototype (P1) in use
Created for you, by you…
HUFe evolved further through buying and testing many other Point Of Use filtration products and furthermore by reading the many negative customer reviews to gain better understanding of the problems experienced. Customer pain was logged and used to help steer development.
And so, after several thousand hours and 3 further prototypes. Development led to a more universal home filter now including drinking water, showers, challenging many other pollutants other than just chlorine and of course it became an eco-warrior too.
P1 / P2 / P3 – Prototypes. FP – Final product
HUFe – Now ready for production so others and the planet can reap its many benefits.
The benefits to HUFe filtered water…
There are just so many!
Watch to see how soft HUFe filtered water is
HUFe the eCO-warrior
eCO materials and design:
- Sustainable Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
- Extended GAC filtration life: Novel GAC back flushing method to extend media life, (not shown in this presentation due to patent pending status).
- No internal plastic filter cartridge = Less landfill
- Reusable (cleanable) stainless mesh separators = Less landfill
- Washable and re-useable PP cotton pads = Less landfill
- Standard water flow rate = no pressure drop = No external pump pressure = Stable motor power input
- Optimized filter size for maximum No. of units per carton
eCO through use:
- Reduced limescale = More lather = Less soaps and shampoos = Less pollution and less plastic bottles used
- No limescale or cleaning detergents = Less pollution going down the drain and less plastic bottles used
- White goods longer life: reduced limescale = Longer life of white goods such as kettles which end up as landfill
- Chemical free tastier water = Less mineral water bottles purchased
- Chemical free has less impact on sensitive skins and dandruff = Less topical / sensitive skin soothing creams and anti-dandruff shampoos = Less plastic containers
HUFe in detail
HUFe has been designed for maximum water filtration, optimum UK water flow rate (14l/min), offering no inconvenience when running a hot bath, no pressure drop when showering or pouring a glass of pure and tasty water just as you would without the filter attached.
A thing of engineering beauty
HUFe USP’s
Aside from treating all the nasty elements in our water, what makes HUFe a truly unique Point Of Use (POU) filter is:
- It’s universal – One filter that fits to screwed water fittings in Kitchen / Bath / Shower applications. (This is a world’s first – patent pending).
- Electric showers (any tight space) – Connects directly to water outlet under electric showers that are tight up against the wall. (No other filter in the world offers this).
- No plastic waste when changing filter media
- Reversible GAC section for backwashing. (Increasing activated carbon media life)
- Re-useable PP cotton pads and stainless mesh separators
- Selectable replacement media available to suit user requirements. (All other POU filters use predefined media in throw away plastic cartridges)
- Flow rate of 14 l/min. (Average single use POU filters reach just 8 l/min)
- No loss of water pressure through filter. (All other POU filters create pressure drop)
- Stainless steel connectors. (All other single application POU filter connectors are made from plastic).
- Travel buddy – Can be effortlessly removed from home application and dropped in to HUFe box / overnight bag
- Original packaging is retained by user for storage of connecting kit and overnight travel use
- HUFnMAPP – HUFe Neighbourhood Mobile App connecting the HUFe community
HUFe technical
HUFe uses only the finest filtration media!
HUFe standing tall against the market competitors
Size comparison against market leading competitor landfill cartridges
When it comes to filtration, size is everything!
Yes, HUFe may seem a little bulky but, that’s fundamental to achieve the flow rate and filtration where you need a larger surface area and deeper bed depth.
HUFe 11 REAL stages of filtration
HUFe ‘user defined’ media options
The filter comes with 3 filter media zones, sealed using removable stainless steel mesh separators. As there is no plastic landfill cartridge, each zone will be hand filled from convenient recyclable refill sachets ordered through our spare parts page.
Users will be able to re-order the GAC and also have a selection of zeolite ceramic balls to choose from depending on their requirements.
A deeper dive into zones 1-3
As standard, HUFe will always be lovingly prepared with the following medias installed:
Zone 1 (inlet) – Water softening zeolites – Limescale removal. Use in Zone 1 where possible to reduce limescale build up on internal ultra-fine stainless mesh separators
Zone 2 (middle) – Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) used for removal of many substances including chlorine, chloride, and chloramines, PFAS (PFOS, PFOA aka plastic forever chemicals) residual pharma drugs, pesticides, herbicides, phosphates, heavy metals, sediment, lithium, arsenic, unpleasant odours and water discolouration.
Zone 3 (outlet) – pH balancing zeolites (Targeting a neutral pH of 7-7.5)
This set up has been carefully chosen for those with sensitive skin and was the original driving force behind developing such an incredibly well engineered filter.
Replacing HUFe filter media
HUFe assured watertight seals
HUFe gaskets and seals have all been carefully designed with optimum water tightness in mind. (Made from food grade raw materials)

There will of course be risks and challenges ahead
Although a wealth of domestic and international product line transfers within the manufacture of high-quality goods for multi-national groups. And the fact that all suppliers have been nominated, prototypes made and tested, there is always the risk that the best laid plans deviate somewhat.
But through vast experience, under a close watchful eye and my local supervision of pre-production parts sign off and actual first batch production runs, I am confident backed by proven skills, to lovingly ship HUFe to the very highest quality standards by year end 2022.
Shipping
Although HUFe will be shipping internationally, due to the current volatility of shipping costs, shipping payments will be collected after the campaign ends and close to your shipping date. And as international custom fees, import duties and local delivery fees all differ across regions, they are not included in any of the perks. This means it is up to our international backers to pay these costs on delivery.
We will do the utmost to provide the best international shipping experience possible, but much of the process is out of our control and is in the control of the individual countries’ officials and mailing systems.
This will allow you the most accurate and up-to-date prices.
You will then be able to:
• Pay for shipping costs, taxes, and duties on the spot to help avoid local custom delays.
• Have the ability to add shipping insurance to the package.

Colan Badham – Founder of HUFe
And lastly, a message to all of whom I’m hoping reading this far, have now joined the HUFe journey.
For a year prior to the HUFe journey, I was in a very dark place due to several instances of personal mental trauma, the darkness felt like a live burial but, through discovering HUFe I came to realise the darkness was in fact not a burial at all, but it was the plantation of a very special new beginning.
And so, when HUFe becomes the recognised brand it richly deserves, I endeavour to write a short book helping others who are going through the ‘live burial’ feeling I once had.
And with that a message ‘to never give up, for hope is not lost’.
