Exclusive: Experts reveal why a water filter should be in every household!
Water isn't just a staple food—it's the elixir of life. Every cell, tissue, and organ in our body needs water to function properly.
Adequate water intake not only supports our physical health by, for example, aiding digestion and flushing out toxins, but also has a significant impact on our overall well-being and mental clarity.
But what good is all this effort if the water we consume is contaminated?
Because the quality of the water we drink is just as important as its quantity.
Increasing purification of drinking water and the role of water filters
In an ideal world, we would all have access to clean, pure water straight from our taps.
However, the reality is often different.
Due to industrialization, agriculture and, last but not least, outdated water infrastructure, the quality of our drinking water is at risk in many places.
Pollutants such as lead, chlorine, pesticides and microplastics can enter our water and endanger our health.
This is where the importance of water filters comes into play.
They serve as an essential line of defense against these contaminants by filtering dangerous substances from our water before they reach our bodies.
Many of our customers have tested their water themselves or had it tested by a laboratory before purchasing our rat.
I still remember a family who complained of unusual fatigue and frequent headaches.
After installing a water filter, they noticed a significant improvement in their energy and well-being.
Of course, water is not the only thing that is important for our health.
In this case, however, the connection was clearly noticeable because the quality of the water we tested was truly alarmingly poor.
Why water filters are important
Removal of pollutants:
The water that flows through our pipes is ultimately a mixture of many components – unfortunately, this also includes pollutants that can endanger our health.
The most common pollutants include chlorine, lead, pesticides and microplastics.
Each of these substances has potentially harmful effects on our health, and their removal from our drinking water should be a top priority.
Chlorine is often used to disinfect water, but in high concentrations it can be harmful to health and affect the taste and odor of the water.
Long-term exposure to chlorinated water has been linked in some studies to an increased risk of certain cancers.
Lead can get into our water from old pipes and is especially dangerous for children.
It can impair the development of the nervous system and lead to learning difficulties, behavioral problems, and increased intelligence. In adults, it can cause kidney problems and high blood pressure.
Pesticides enter our water sources via surface water from agricultural runoff.
Some pesticides can disrupt the hormonal system and are linked to a variety of health problems, including skin irritations, neurological disorders, and even cancer.
Microplastics have attracted increasing attention in recent years. These tiny plastic particles can enter our water through abrasion from larger plastic particles.
Although research into the direct effects of microplastics on human health is still in its infancy, initial studies suggest that they can trigger inflammatory processes in the body and promote the absorption and accumulation of toxins.
In general, water quality in Germany is of good quality across the board. The limits for pollutants in drinking water are adhered to and strictly monitored.
What is worrying, however, is that there are pollutants in drinking water at all – regardless of the limit values.
Improvement of taste and smell
In addition to removing pollutants, water filters offer another significant benefit: improving the taste and odor of tap water.
Many people are unaware of how much the sensory quality of their water is affected by contaminants until they experience the difference for themselves with a water filter.

How water filters can improve taste and smell
Water filters work without removing or at least greatly reducing chemicals such as chlorine, which is often used to disinfect water supply systems, as well as metals and organic compounds that can cause unpleasant odors and tastes.
Comparison of filtered and unfiltered water in terms of sensory quality
The difference between filtered and unfiltered water is often noticeable from the first sip.
Unfiltered water may have a metallic taste or an aftertaste of chlorine, which contains many of them, enough water to drink.
Filtered water, on the other hand, tastes fresh and pure, without the unpleasant aftertastes and odors that can occur with unfiltered water.
This can not only improve the drinking experience but also encourage people to drink more water, which is beneficial for good hydration and health.
We even tested this ourselves with blind tastings among friends and acquaintances, especially those with low prices who had long been reluctant to install a water filter.
The result was quite clear, especially among coffee and tea lovers, to whom we gave their favorite beverage to test once with and once without filtered water.
This improvement in sensory quality is not just a matter of personal pleasure, but can also be an important factor for health.
Since adequate hydration is crucial for maintaining our physical and mental performance, the pleasant taste and smell of filtered water can make a positive contribution to our overall well-being.
Prevention of health risks
Long-term exposure to less pure drinking water can lead to a variety of health problems, from acute gastrointestinal illnesses to chronic diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and reproductive problems.
The use of water filters can significantly reduce these risks by removing harmful contaminants before they even reach our bodies.
A study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that chlorine and its byproducts, as well as nitrate, increase the risk of certain cancers, including bladder and rectal cancer. Water filters further reduce these substances from water.
Another study, published in the Journal of Public Health , showed that lead in the blood remains a problem. Although the installation of lead pipes has long been banned in Germany, there are no precise figures on where lead pipes are still installed.
Drinking water filters can make a significant contribution to removing this extremely harmful substance from the water.
Types of water filters and their effectiveness:
Choosing the right water filter can be overwhelming, as there are a variety of types, each offering different benefits.
Here we give you an overview of the most common types of water filters, how they work and their advantages and disadvantages.
Jug filter:
Introduction and Function: Pitcher filters are a simple and inexpensive way to filter water.
They typically use activated carbon to remove chlorine, some pesticides, and organic compounds.
The water is filled in the upper part of the jug and flows through the filter in the main part of the jug, where it is ready for consumption.
Pros and Cons: The biggest advantage of pitcher filters is their simplicity and portability. They require no installation and can easily be stored in the refrigerator.
One disadvantage, however, is that they need to be refilled regularly and the filter cartridges need to be replaced frequently.
Additionally, they are not as effective at removing heavy metals and other more serious contaminants.
Under-sink filter:
Description and installation: Under-sink filters are connected directly to the water pipe under the sink and filter the water before it reaches the tap.
They provide a continuous supply of filtered water and are generally more effective than pitcher filters because they can utilize more complex filtration systems.
Effectiveness and cost: These systems can remove a wider range of contaminants, including heavy metals, fluoride, and bacteria.
The installation is a bit more complex, but it ensures the best water quality in an almost invisible way.
The costs are higher than pitcher filters, both in terms of purchase and maintenance, but the investment is worthwhile for households that want permanent and sustainable water filtration.

Reverse osmosis systems:
Explanation of the technology and its benefits: Reverse osmosis systems use a semi-permeable membrane to quickly remove all contaminants from the water, including salts, bacteria, and viruses.
They are one of the most effective water filtration methods available.
Investment and maintenance: These systems are more expensive to purchase and install and require regular maintenance, including membrane and filter replacement.
However, the costs and effort are justified by the exceptional water quality.
Reverse osmosis systems are available as under-sink filters as well as as built-in systems in beautiful designs, such as our devices.
Recommendations for households:
Choosing the right water filter depends on the specific needs and water quality in your household.
Those who want to play it safe are more likely than average to choose a reverse osmosis system to ensure that their family receives the cleanest water.
For someone who primarily wants to improve the taste and smell of the water for their morning coffee, a simple pitcher filter might suffice.
It is important to simply conduct a water analysis to identify the specific contaminants in your water.
Based on this, you can make an informed decision about which type of water filter is right for you.
Regardless of your choice, investing in a water filter is a sustainable step to ensure the health and well-being of your family.
Expert tips on water filtration
Maintenance and care of water filters to maximize their efficiency
An often overlooked aspect of water filtration is the regular maintenance and care of the filter system.
It is crucial to change the filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure consistent water quality.
The most common criticism of water filters is the potential for microbial contamination if the filter is replaced too late. And, of course, there's some truth to that.
Because the filters have served their purpose for weeks and months, it's only natural that this filter also needs to be replaced.
But imagine: all the pollutants that the filter had trapped would have ended up in your body instead?
Set an appointment in your calendar or on your phone and never forget to change your filter again.

Common mistakes to avoid
One of the most common mistakes is exceeding the capacity of the filter and not replacing it in time.
This can not only impair the effectiveness of the filter, but also promote the accumulation of bacteria and pollutants.
Change the filters in time and the problem won’t arise in the first place.
Test your water to find the right filter, then change the membrane as directed in the instructions and you will enjoy trouble-free water for a long time.
