By using the BWT filter cartridge “BWT Magnesium Mineralized Water + Silicate”, an overdose of silicon is not possible. A major advantage of this filter cartridge is that the supply of silicon and magnesium is distributed gently throughout the day. BWT technology is not comparable to high-dose tablets, which can occasionally lead to excess.

Magnesium Mineralized Water + Silicate is the solution for an active lifestyle. This is a simple and effective way to support your body. The silicate content of the water is increased by approx. 30-40 mg/l*. In addition, 2.5 litres* of mineralized water cover up to 10% of the daily magnesium requirement. Quite simply without any effort, without swallowing pills – just drink water.

A daily requirement of approx. 20-50 mg silicon can be assumed as a guideline. The human body needs around 300-400 mg of magnesium every day.

We work with a mixture of silicate, minerals and activated carbon. This increases the silicate content of the water. The activated carbon used reduces taste-impairing substances (chlorine) and organic impurities.

The BWT filter cartridge Magnesium Mineralized Water + Silicate contains silicon in its natural form. It is therefore not only a drinking pleasure but also supports you in maintaining normal skin, hair and nails. The silicon-enriched water supports your natural beauty and your mental freshness into old age. The filter cartridge enriches the water with valuable minerals – ideal for mineralizing soft, softened water.

We use natural silicates and minerals in our Silicate Mineralized Water cartridge. We would like to point out that transport-related abrasion of these materials can occur, which is released into the water at the beginning of the filter’s service life. The first two litres can therefore be cloudy. The turbidity released is completely harmless. For optical reasons, we still recommend discarding the first 2-3 litres until the water is clear.

To achieve an optimal filter effect, you should replace the filter cartridge every four weeks at the latest.

However, if the Easy-Control (model A) shows 100 fillings on the display before the four weeks have elapsed, the filter cartridge must be changed before the four weeks have elapsed. This is indicated by a flashing filter cartridge on the display.

• It is best to keep the filtered water in your refrigerator.
• Our models fit perfectly in most refrigerator doors on the market.
• The filtered water should not be kept for more than 24 hours.

If the water stays in the jug for more than 24 hours, discard the water and filter freshwater

Magnesium is an essential mineral for humans that cannot be produced by the body itself. The daily requirement is around 300 mg (according to the German Society for Nutrition) but can be even higher in special situations, such as stress. Magnesium not only supports our physical and mental performance and supplies our muscles, but it is also an important flavour carrier. With BWT Magnesium Mineralized Water you can support your magnesium balance.

The name BWT stands for quality from Austria. That is why all our filter cartridges are produced in Mondsee. There is a state-of-the-art production facility that is subject to ongoing quality controls. The filter systems are produced in Italy and meet the highest requirements in terms of material and processing.

No, neither the table water filter nor the filter cartridges are made of plastics that release plasticizers such as BPA into the water. This is strictly monitored by migration tests by independent institutes. The table water filter is made of SAN and ABS. PP and PPS are used to manufacture the filter cartridges.

In the BWT table water filter system, the drinking water is filtered in four stages:

Stage 1: Particles are filtered out of the water.

Stage 2: Depending on which filter cartridge technology you have chosen; the water is treated accordingly:

• Soft Filtered Water: Calcium and heavy metal content are reduced.
• Soft Filtered Water Extra: Limescale and heavy metal content are further reduced.
• Magnesium Mineralized Water: Calcium and heavy metal content are reduced; calcium ions are exchanged for magnesium ions.
• Magnesium Mineralized Water + ZINC: Limescale and heavy metal content are reduced, calcium ions are exchanged for magnesium ions and zinc is added to the water.
• Balanced Alkalized Water: The heavy metal content is reduced, and the pH value of the water is increased to >8.5.

Step 3: Substances that impair smell and taste, such as chlorine and certain organic impurities, are filtered out of the water.

Stage 4: Fine filtration is carried out.

No, the BWT filter cartridge is not designed to filter fluoride out of the water or to reduce the fluoride content.

Always observe local regulations for recycling! Filter cartridges and filter filling: Dispose of used filter cartridges and filter fillings in the household waste. Packaging material: Dispose of foils and cardboard boxes – if locally possible – for waste separation. You thus contribute to protecting the environment. Water filter system: Provide the water filter system – if locally possible – for waste separation. This contributes to protecting the environment. The “Easy-Control” replacement indicator is an electronic component that must be disposed of in accordance with the locally applicable regulations and statutory provisions. The replacement indicator can be removed from the cover using a screwdriver placed on the edge of the “Easy-Control”. The “Easy-Control” should only be removed from the lid when it is disposed of.

The service life of the filter cartridge varies depending on where it is used since the water is not the same everywhere. The capacity of the filter cartridge depends on the hardness of the water. The harder the water, the sooner the filter cartridge will be exhausted.

Filter capacities:

*KH = Carbonate Hardness, TH = Total Hardness

The specified substances, e.g., lead and copper, which are reduced by the filter, are not present in every drinking water. The filter cartridges meet the microbiological requirements for water filters according to DIN 10521. The requirements according to DIN 10521 for chlorine, lead and copper retention are also met.

With proper storage, the original BWT filter cartridges can be stored for several years. Proper storage means:

• At temperatures between 1°C and 40°C.
• The filter cartridges should always be kept in the original packaging film until the filter cartridge is changed
• The filter cartridges should be stored cool, dry and protected from direct sunlight

Our filter granulate consists of a carefully balanced mixture of activated carbon and ion exchangers. Thanks to its large surface structure, the activated charcoal binds to taste-impairing substances such as chlorine and chlorine compounds. The ion exchangers absorb calcifying substances and heavy metals such as lead and copper and thus remove them from the filtered water.

In addition, the BWT filter granulate is equipped with the patented magnesium technology, which releases magnesium ions into the filtered water in exchange for calcium ions. This lowers the pH value less than with conventional table water filters. The result is a better taste in the water and the food and drinks prepared with

Our production facilities in Austria and Germany are based on the strict ISO guidelines and the hygiene regulations of the HACCP concept and have been checked several times by independent auditors. The food quality of the products is monitored by the independent TÜV Rheinland/LGA. In order to meet the highest hygiene requirements, our filter cartridges are sterilized and provided with a small amount of silver (in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization WHO). This enables us to create a consistently high level of quality. This is the only way we can ensure that the handling of the sensitive product drinking water always meets the highest hygiene standards.
