Care instructions
The filter cartridge should be replaced regularly after 6 months and at the latest after 12 months, or earlier when the filter capacity has been reached. The system is installed with a BWT besthead filter head where the bypass is adjusted according to the water hardness and needs. An important thing to know is that correct adjustment affects both taste and capacity, so the filter works best when adapted to the actual water quality.
