According to the NHS, the amount of water to be consumed in order to avoid becoming dehydrated will vary from person to person, and will depend on different factors, including their temperature, size, weight and how active they are. However, the Department of Heath recommend to drink 1.2 litres of fluid of every day, equivalent to six 200ml glasses

In order to achieve an optimal filter effect, you should replace the filter cartridge every 4 weeks. The useful lifespan depends on the quality and on the degree of hardness of your tap water

The filter capacity depends on the water quality and hardness of your tap water. Under normal conditions of use, a capacity of up to 120 litres can be expected, making the BWT ‘long-life’-filter cartridge one of the most effective filter cartridges on the market.

The BWT Vida Water Filter Jug + 12 Magnesium Mineralized Water cartridges may only be used with cold water which is known to be safe and meets the legal requirements. After more than 3 litres of water have been filtered in one process, a pause of at least 15 minutes should be respected. If you are requested by the authorities to boil tap water as a result of contamination, this also applies to BWT filtered water. When the authorities approve the tap water again as being harmless to health, the filter cartridge must be exchanged. The water filtering system must be cleaned. For certain groups of persons, e.g. persons with restricted immune defences and for the preparation of baby food, the BWT filtered water must be boiled.

Ideally, you should store the filtered water in your fridge.

As a quality manufacturer, all of our water filter cartridges are produced in Mondsee, Austria. Our ultramodern production plant is located there, which is subject to permanent quality control. The filtering systems are produced in Germany and fulfil the highest requirements in terms of materials and processing.

he Easy-Control device counts exactly the number of fillings and the useful lifespan left and a flashing indicator reminds you when it is time to change the filter. Please note that the Easy-Control feature indicates the number of fillings (the volume of the funnel varies according to the BWT water filtering system) and not the number of litres filtered. The filter cartridge should be changed at least every 4 weeks, even if the capacity (number of fillings) of the filter cartridge has not yet been reached. The lid features a manual indicator acts as a reminder for the next due filter cartridge change.

Before the first use or replacement of a used filter cartridge, clean the jug, funnel and lid of the BWT water filtering system with mild soap water and rinse thoroughly with clean warm water. Do not use any scrubbing cleaning agents or scrubbing sponges, as scratch marks may be left on the BWT Magnesium Mineralized water filtering system. The jug and funnel are dishwasher safe. The lid may not be cleaned in the dishwasher. In order to achieve an optimal filtering effect, we recommend you put the filter cartridge into tap water and leave it for 5 minutes. This water is not then drinkable; please pour it away. After this, insert the new filter cartridge into the funnel of the water filtering system by applying gentle pressure. The lid of the BWT water filtering system is equipped with the automatic ‘Easy-Fill’ filling system. Therefore it is not necessary to remove the lid when filling the jug. The Easy-Fill system opens automatically when the water jet hits the opening and closes automatically again after filling. Pour away the first filling of filtered water and refill the BWT water filtering system. The BWT Magnesium Mineralized water filtering system is now ready for use.

The BWT water filtering system may only be filled and used with cold water which is known to be safe and meets the legal requirements. The water filter is not suitable for the production of drinking water; i.e. the filter is not suitable for the treatment of contaminated water. The BWT filtered water is intended for short-term use. It may not be exposed to direct sunlight and is to be stored in a cool place no longer than 24 hours. If the filtered water stands in the water filtering system for longer than 24 hours, white marks may be left in the jug through the evaporation of the water, which can easily be removed by cleaning. After more than 3 litres of water have been filtered in one process, a pause of at least 15 minutes should be respected. Permanent water contact with the filter cartridge is not absolutely necessary in order to guarantee the durable functioning of the filter cartridge. The filter cartridge keeps functioning even if it is not immersed in water for a longer time. If you are requested by the authorities to boil tap water as a result of contamination, this also applies to BWT filtered water. When the authorities approve the tap water again as being harmless to health, the filter cartridge must be exchanged. The water filtering system must be cleaned. For certain groups of persons, e.g. persons with restricted immune defences and for the preparation of baby food, the BWT filtered water must be boiled. According to the recommendations of the WHO, the filter cartridge contains small quantities of silver, in order to avoid the growth of germs. The filter cartridge must be replaced at least every 4 weeks after the first use.

Place the "Easy-Fill" opening directly under the water tap and hold the water filter slightly tipped to the front in order to avoid water splashes. Open the water tap and direct the water jet into the front opening side of the flap. Fill the funnel as full as possible. The water now automatically runs through the filter cartridge.

At each replacement, the BWT water filtering system should be cleaned with mild soapy water and rinsed thoroughly with hot water. Do not use any scrubbing cleaning agents or scrubbing sponges, as scratch marks may be left on the water filtering system. The jug and funnel are dishwasher safe. During use of the BWT water filtering system, limescale stains may be caused in particular on the lid of the BWT water filtering system through the drying of water drops. The limescale stains can be removed with a commercially available decalcifying agent/limescale remover. The lid including "Easy Control" must not be cleaned in the dishwasher

In principle we recommend leaving the lid with the ‘Easy Control’ in the lid insert and cleaning it by hand as the ‘Easy Control’ is not dishwasher safe.

Yes, neither the table water filter nor the cartridges are made of plastics which contain BPA. The table water filter is made of SAN and ABS. For the production of the cartridges PP and PPs is used.
