As a general rule, the filters should be changed every 6 months (or after 6000 litres of water) to avoid the formation of bacteria. If however you have several bathrooms, and/or appliances which draw a high flow of water - such as a megaflow boiler - you will require the larger EcoPlus XL system.

So simple to fit the fridge water filter simply snaps into the 1/4″ plastic tube supplying your fridge in a matter of minutes. Hard water is water that has high mineral content and is formed when water percolates through deposits of calcium and magnesium-containing minerals such as limestone, chalk and dolomite. The purpose of the limescale filter is to extend the life of the product and maintain its efficiency over time.

When hard water is heated above 61 degrees (or as it evaporates) the balance between the dissolved minerals is upset and the bicarbonate converts to carbonate. Those dissolved minerals are just the same as what is found in hard water from municipal supplies, and in some cases even worse. These may work, but it depends very much on the concentration of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate in your locality. In this way, we significantly reduce our carbon footprint and the consumption of conventional plastic. To get perfect water for making coffee or tea, we recommend that you treat your tap water with a BWT table water filter with the patented magnesium technology.The EcoPlus Whole House Water Filter uses the latest in scale prevention and water filtration technology to filter the water for your whole home or business premises.
