Product Overview
Why do you need a drinking water filter for the kitchen?
Water is an elixir of life and a limited resource at the same time. Whilst mains water is safe to drink it not always perfect and can often suffer from bad tastes and odours and trace elements that find their way into the supply from the source water or the pipes that deliver it. Regions with very hard water are all too familiar with the problems that scale can cause to coffee machines and kettles, often reducing their effectiveness and lifespan.
The topic of environmental protection and the reduction of plastic waste has also reached the centre of our society. Much is already being done to reduce the amount of plastic packaging and with a BWT drinking water system you can play your part in reducing the consumption of disposable single use plastic bottles by switching to the great taste of magnesium mineralized water on tap instead of buying water from a supermarket.

Frequently asked questions about water filter fittings
What is the AQA Monitor?

Can I install the AQA drink Pure Set with a flow heater?

Is there also a filter system that I can connect to my existing kitchen faucet?
