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?
The AQA drink Pure Sets also include an AQA Monitor, which monitors the filter capacity and signals the filter change. It counts the amount of water filtered through the filter.
The AQA Monitor consists of:
- the flow sensor: monitors the filter capacity
- the counter unit (display): programming and display of the filter capacity
- LED ring on the tap: visual indication of the filter capacity
Can I install the AQA drink Pure Set with a flow heater?
The AQA drink Pure Set cannot be operated with a pressureless under-table storage tank (instantaneous water heater).
If, on the other hand, you have a pressure accumulator or a thermal or hydraulically controlled instantaneous water heater installed under the sink, an AQA drink Pure Set can be used.
Is there also a filter system that I can connect to my existing kitchen faucet?
Yes, the AQA drink Pure filter set can be connected to most existing kitchen faucets. It contains the Magnesium Mineralized Water Filter, which enriches your tap water with the Mineral Magnesium for more taste, and the AQA Monitor, which keeps an eye on the filter capacity. The AQA drink filter cartridge is small and does not take up much space under the sink. It can be installed vertically or horizontally.
