WATER FILTER FOR 
HEAVY METALS IN DRINKING WATER

FILTERING LEAD AND COPPER 
FROM WATER 

SHeavy metals such as lead, and copper usually find their way into our drinking water through old household water systems. Until the early 1970s, lead was used for pipes. The cause of this is therefore not in our waterworks, but in the pipes that bring the water to our taps. A general ban on lead pipes in drinking water systems will come into effect in the European Union from 2026.

Our solution: BWT water filters are specially designed to efficiently reduce heavy metals such as lead and copper. Our patented ion exchangers exchange the positive particles of the heavy metals. The process of our reverse osmosis also retains impurities caused by heavy metals and impresses with a particularly high-quality level of water purity.

How do I get heavy metals out of drinking water
