CFS with 5 and 8 elements: what is the difference and how to read the plate's card

When searching for "CFS plates", one quickly comes across confusing labels: "CFS with 5 elements", "CFS with 8 elements". Below is a brief overview without any health claims: where these terms come from, how to find them on a product card, and what to look for when choosing.

What "elements" mean in a CFS description

This refers to the generation of the plate's design used by the manufacturer itself — Planet of Regions LLC. Official descriptions indicate, for example, the approximate "water structuring time": for a CFS with 5 elements – 5 minutes, for a CFS with 8 elements – 15 seconds. This is the manufacturer's wording; we quote it verbatim and do not add our own measurements.

The background can be found in the archive news: the CFS project with 8 elements and the 2015 modernization with the fifth element.

Where this is visible in the PKSOVA card

• The first paragraph of the description names the series: for example, "plate of the Koltsov line; Koltsov CFS - 'Exclusive Series'."
• Below are the themes of the plate and a line about water structuring indicating the number of elements.
• It is convenient to check the series in the series reference guide.

How to choose if you are in doubt

1. First, decide on the theme and series: how to choose a CFS series.
2. Open a category: Blue Basic, Gold, Elite, Exclusive.
3. Check the name of the plate against the manufacturer's catalog — for the original, it matches.
4. The number of elements is a technical characteristic of the design, not an indicator of "strength" or medical effect.
