Product details
The high quality of drinking water in Europe is ensured by legal regulations and the regular inspection of waterworks. However, even good drinking water can be affected by unforeseen problems such as the sudden entry of particles, cloudiness, bacteria and protozoa (e.g. Giardia and Cryptosporidium). These issues can be caused by the public pipeline network or the installations in the affected building.
BWT bestcare 10 was specially designed to protect consumers against these risks. Thanks to its newly developed triple activated carbon barrier, almost all particles, cloudiness and organic components can be safely removed and unpleasant tastes and odours caused by chlorine and other substances can be eliminated. The drinking results are perfected through the final BWT hollow-fibre membrane filtration to ensure the safe removal of bacteria and protozoa – with a very high dirt absorption capacity and low pressure loss. BWT bestcare 10 – the new and innovative insurance for your water.
