Effectively filter pollutants in water – for a pure taste and peace of mind




Tap water is considered strictly regulated – and it is. Still, water contaminants can enter your drinking water through old pipes, local infrastructure, or everyday household activities.
Common causes of water pollution include:
• Chlorine – often added to disinfect tap water
• Limescale – leads to a harsh taste and calcified appliances
• Heavy metals – such as lead, copper or cadmium
• PFAS – so-called “forever chemicals”
• Bacteria – or other microbiological residues
• Iron and manganese – can cause reddish stains and a metallic taste
All of these are potential pollutants in water that not only affect the taste but, depending on their concentration, may also pose a burden to the human body.
Find out in our blog post how water can be professionally disinfected and filtered – without losing essential minerals.

To be honest? Pretty much everyone. Even if your tap water is deemed “safe”, a filter often makes a noticeable difference. Installing a water filter is especially recommended in buildings with old plumbing or if you want to protect your appliances from limescale and other damage.
But that’s not all! Children, pregnant individuals and older adults shouldn’t be exposed to pollutants in drinking water. People with allergies can also benefit from cleaner water. And if you're a tea or coffee lover, a reliable filter can take your drinks to the next level – no more off-flavours.
