So far, I used two systems, one of Brita in my study and in our kitchen a drugstore DM with glass jug, which are similar to those of cartridge very Brita.
In a known electric market BWT was promoted with a Super introductory price, which led me to buy. Not least because of the addition of magnesium when filtering, because I suffer from chronic magnesium deficiency.
Of course, these BWT filter not fix my health problem. Who goes there a balanced budget magnesium expected simply is wrong because the amounts added are too low.
To filter effect:
Very effective, the water comes clear and absolutely tasteless from the container. Tests show initially a term greater than 97% filtration of toxic chemicals. This filtering takes course from the course of a month. At day 3 1/2 liters of water consumption, the filter efficiency was at month-end immediately prior to filter change just about 70% pollutant retention. How do I find a pretty good value, especially as still no dazzling Kalkaugen deteriorate the enjoyment of tea.
I welcome also, that these filters can be used further, when they dry out, because you either forgot to replenish the water or an extended period unused. I knew of Brita and (formerly) of Aqua Select forth otherwise, there are no "Einweichorgie" with one waterway tilting or so ... enough water for five minutes.
Use in other systems:
With BRITA systems, these cartridges sit a little tight, you have to press a little stronger, then they are tight and no water runs laterally past the filter. According BWT This is because that BRITA has changed somewhat the cartridge form.
Completely unproblematic use with the glass may filtration system the DM drugstore, which summarizes more than two liters. BWT cartridge push in until it is firmly seated noticeable, that's it.
Whether one opts for filter of Brita or BWT is seen purely from the filter effect ago, relatively unimportant and, ultimately, 'ne question of price. Both systems work very satisfactorily. For me was the decisive effect of magnesium and the very favorable purchase price for the BWT-water tank.
Where BWT on the latter a bit "file" should, because the processed when my pot in the lid, digital fuel gauge does not work, but only flashes in front of him. But that is not so important to me, for I have fixed cartridge changing times based on experience and a chemist as a wife. Therefore, the tests ...
The plastic jug itself almost 2.5 liters of water filters. But that does not pass through in one go, but because of the hinged, separate filter tank is after about 1.2 liters of an end to the run, because physical reasons resulting in a height level stalemate between unfiltered residual and overflowed through filter water quantity. Then drain So when required larger amount of water, making sure that no unfiltered water due to excessive inclination Can rausläuft, or simply fill less.
