Filtration media Wellness-marketed
Terahertz Balls are fired ceramic balls made from natural minerals, sold under the name 'terahertz'.
Made of: Minerals refined from natural ores and sintered into a ceramic (supplier); full recipe not disclosed
Form: Ceramic balls
Main job: Marketed for 'terahertz energy' and weakly alkaline mineral water
Used in: Waslix custom layered cartridges; also sold loose by weight
The supplier states the minerals are built into the ceramic so they dissolve slowly into the water. The 'terahertz' name refers to a band of electromagnetic radiation that every object at room temperature gives off as part of its ordinary heat radiation, including the water itself; it is not a measure of water quality.
Weakly alkaline: the supplier states it raises pH slightly, without figures; we have not measured it
Releases minerals: the supplier states it slowly releases several mineral elements into the water, without amounts; we have not tested what it releases
Terahertz radiation: part of the ordinary heat radiation every object gives off; water absorbs it within a fraction of a millimetre, and we found no independent evidence that it changes drinking water
Evidence: limited The pH and mineral claims rest on the supplier's own description, with no test data, and we found no independent study of terahertz ceramic balls in drinking water. Independent evidence for the marketed effects is limited.
If you want it, add it as a single finishing layer near the outlet, after the treatment layers.
Layer position: Near the outlet, after activated alumina and iron-based media, and before the filtration pad
Pairs well with: Activated carbon and the other treatment layers placed before it
Keep in mind: It is an optional layer: it removes no contaminants, and any pH effect adds to other pH-raising layers

Before first use: Rinse until the water runs clear and send the first flush to drain
Storage: Keep sealed and dry; it is a fired mineral ceramic, so keep dust down when pouring and never crush it
Replacement: The supplier describes a long service life but gives no figure; replace it with the cartridge
Terahertz waves are electromagnetic radiation between microwaves and infrared. Every object at room temperature gives off a little of it as part of its heat radiation, and water absorbs it within a fraction of a millimetre. We found no independent evidence that terahertz balls change drinking water, so we make no such claim.
No. Choose the treatment layers in your cartridge, such as carbon, KDF or resin, for that. This is an optional layer.
No certification is claimed for this product. Filter media can be certified for material safety (for example to NSF/ANSI 61) and complete systems for performance (NSF/ANSI 42 or 53), but we have not found such a listing for this material.
How well any medium works depends on your water, the flow rate, contact time and the other layers in the cartridge. This page describes the loose medium, not a certified filter system.
Terahertz Balls are fired mineral ceramic balls, offered as an optional finishing layer for the outlet end of a layered cartridge. The supplier states they release minerals and make water weakly alkaline, but gives no amounts. They are marketed for 'terahertz energy' and changes to water structure; independent evidence for these effects is limited. They are not a contaminant-removal medium.
