Where are the filter cartridges and filtering systems produced?
As a quality manufacturer, all our water filter cartridges are produced in Mondsee, Austria. Our ultramodern production plant is located there, which is subject to permanent quality control. The filtering systems are produced in Germany and fulfil the highest requirements in terms of materials and processing.
How is the quality fo filter cartridges guaranteed?
Our production facilities in Austria and Germany are in compliance with the strict ISO-guidelines and the hygiene regulations of the HACCP-Concept and have been tested several times by independent auditors. The food quality of the products is controlled by the independent TÜV Rheinland/LGA. In order to meet the highest requirements in hygiene, the filter cartridges are sterilized and contain a small amount of silver (according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization WHO). As such, we provide a constant level of high quality. Only then can we guarantee that the handling of drinking water also always corresponds with the highest hygiene standards.
What are the ingredients of the filter granulate?
Our filter granules consist of a carefully balanced mixture of activated carbon and ion exchangers. Thanks to its large surface area, the activated carbon binds with taste-inhibiting substances, e.g. chlorine and chlorine compounds. The ion-exchangers absorb calcareous substances (e.g. calcium) and heavy metals (e.g. lead and copper) and remove them from the filtered water.
Additionally, the BWT filter granulates are fitted with the patent protected Mg2+ technology with which magnesium-ions are added to the filtered water. As a result, the water achieves a mineral balance and the pH-value is reduced less. This results in a better tasting water, as well as the food and drinks prepared with it.
