Bundled for your convenience, the BWT Bestmax Premium Filter Package has everything you need to keep your espresso tasting great and to protect your machine from scale buildup.

BWT's Bestmax Premium filter cartridge is an all-in-one water filtration solution. Outstandingly suited for the filtration of water for hot beverages like coffee, espresso, the Bestmax Premium is a modular multi-stage filter that uses patented BWT Mg2+ technology. This unique feature mineralises the filtered water with magnesium, a known flavor enhancer that may be lost using other filtration methods. The Bestmax Premium uses the five layer filtration process detailed below:

1. Particle Pre-Filter - Separation of coarse particles such as sand and rust.
2. Activated Carbon Pre-Filter - Elimination of oxidants, protection of the ion exchanger against aging.
3. High-performance Ion Exchanger - Removal of hardening substances, adjustment of mineral balance.
4. Activated Carbon Nonwoven - Elimination of organic substances, chlorine, foreign odor and foreign taste.
5. Particle Fine Filter - Separation of fine particles and suspended matter.

The filter head can be adjusted to one of several blend settings based on the hardness of your water. The blend settings adjust the amount of water run through the ion exchange in ratios of 0/**0, *0/*0, *5/*5, and *0/*0. When switching out filter cartridges, the filter head will cut the flow of water to prevent leaks.

Also included is a braided 3/8" hose set to plumb into your machine.
