Choose Your Water Purifier
Answer the questions to get the right system for you.
Short test to understand what what water filtration system you need to choose.
Do you want to remove KALK from the drinking water?
As a compound of calcium and hydrogen carbonate, lime is difficult to metabolize (10-30%) and can lead to serious deposition problems in the body (Dr. med. Barbara Hendel). Furthermore, according to the MAYO Clinic, even the formation of kidney, bladder and gallstones can be favored. Minerals are much better metabolizable in a citrate or chelate form, but they can only be found in good dietary supplements or in a balanced diet.
Do you want to remove Nitrat / Nitrit ?
Nitrate can be converted into nitrite (nitrosamines) in the body by bacteria. Even in small amounts (from about 2.5 mg / L), this can increase the risk of bladder cancer or ovarian cancer by a factor of 2.8. This is shown by a study by the University of lowa on almost 22,000 women. Even small amounts of nitrate in drinking water are dangerous, the researchers report in the May issue of the scientific journal "Epidemiology". Furthermore, it can lead to iodine deficiency symptoms or thyroid malfunctions (eng. Medical Journal 1997). A recent study from Denmark has shown that small amounts of nitrate in drinking water also significantly increase colorectal cancer.
Do you want to remove Chlorine, Fluorine and Pesticides?
Chlorine increases the risk of an increasing risk of thrombosis, chronic poisoning and damage to the central nervous system (diseases caused by halogenated hydrocarbons Leaflet 1302 for medical examination). Glyphosate is criticized for its cancer-increasing risk and the negative effects on the intestinal flora (the reproduction of healthy intestinal bacteria is restricted), weakened by the immune system. A recent study has shown that glyphosate is detectable in about 2/3 of people in Germany.
Water treatment materials such as silicates, phosphates, aluminum compounds, etc.?
In order to protect the pipeline system, waterworks are increasingly using treatment materials. These can be contained in small amounts in drinking water, whether they have an effect on the organism cannot yet be estimated.
Do yo want to remove Plasticizers such as antimony, acetaldehyde, BPA, BPS?
These xenohormones have an estrogenic effect on the organism and can lead to infertility, cancer, brittle teeth and food intolerances. Some countries are already in the process of banning some of these substances.
Heavy metals (copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, cobalt, mercury
Basically, all heavy metals are toxic even in low concentrations and cause or increase for almost all civilization diseases; Book "Heavy metals - Cause of Civilization Diseases" (Peter Jennrich, doctor and advisory board of the Committee for Clinical Metal Toxicology).
Do you want to remove Salt ?
Too much salt is associated with high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases (University of Regensburg 2014). Therefore, the concentration in drinking water should be well below 10 mg/ L. Mineral waters or so-called "healing waters" usually contain significantly more salts than tap water .
Hormones & Drug Residues
Risk of infertility and antibiotic resistance (multidrug-resistant germs/MRE), 3sat NANO; in 2018, MRE was detected in surface waters in the Frankfurt area in connection with a death.
Bacteria, multi-resistant pathogens, viruses, parasites?
Drinking water is a distribution medium for Rota and noroviruses (University of Helsinki). Due to drug residues such as antibiotics, more and more resistance genes are being formed in bacteria, which are increasingly detectable in surface waters and drinking water. For this reason, too, drinking water filters without mechanical germ barriers in the entrance area are no longer up-to-date and by no means future-proof. When the germs penetrate into such filters, they even pose an increased health risk.
Microplastics, nanoparticles, assel droppings, sediments, asbestos, humic substances, other pipe releases?
The Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology has already been able to detect asbestos in drinking water "Humic substances can be precipitated in the pipeline network or accumulate on the walls in order to then come out of the tap at irregular intervals as a kind of sludge at the consumer". (Prof. Dr. Joachim Fettig); Microplastics and nanoplastics can be detected almost everywhere in drinking water and mineral water - possible harmful effects on health cannot yet be estimated.
Effect of water on metabolism (connective tissue / Pischinger Raum)
The saturation of water with salt and metal ions has an effect on the dissolving and transportability in the body. The possibility of detoxification in the connective tissue / Pischinger area (heavy metals, cell degradation products or so-called slags) is significantly influenced by this (Prof. L.C. Vincent, Prof. Pischinger and Dr. Alexis Carel).
Levitation by clockwise swirling
According to Viktor Schauberger, the water clusters are to be reduced mechanically by the turbulence and thus the spring water effect is to be simulated.
Energization, vitalization, bioenerget. Activation, E-smog protected
The water is activated again, informed with natural information from spring water, special frequencies and harmonized by the e-smog. With today's measurement techniques, this is not yet detectable or difficult to detect, but it is clearly noticeable in the taste.
The redox potential of water
This value indicates whether the liquid is oxidative (cell-aging) or antioxidant (neutralizing free radicals). Spring water has I.Dr. values below 150 mV. Tap water and mineral water tend to be significantly higher. A well-treated filtered water should have a redox potential in the range of high-quality spring waters (slightly antioxidant).
Do you want your drinking water to be enriched with hydrogen
Drinking water enriched with hydrogen (hydrogen water) is credited with a strong antioxidant effect. Furthermore, it should improve regeneration and provide additional energy.
pH value?
This value is a science in itself. The cell pH is about 6.7 - The blood pH is about 7.4. Both too acidic or too alkaline water can permanently lead to impairments. Good spring waters are in the range of 6.5 to 7.5. Permanently acidic water can promote the hyperacidity of the body, whereas permanently too alkaline water can lead to increased gastric acid formation or to reduced self-regulation of the pH value in the body.
Re-mineralization of the filtered water
A completely empty water (without minerals) usually has a bland or metallic taste (often in reverse osmosis systems). In addition, it is usually acidic and has too high a redox value (e.g. in classic reverse osmosis systems). Such a completely demineralized water is unsuitable for a stable and functioning energization and therefore corresponds more to a technical water.
What about water taste?
Taste is an important indicator for your body. Good and healthy water should taste delicious and encourage you to drink more of it. However, 70% of the population suffers from chronic dehydration because they do not like the water or the body suppresses the natural feeling of thirst. This can lead to malfunctions in the body in the medium to long term (symptoms or diseases).
How important is it for you to secure your water filter with a mechanical entry germ barrier?
This prevents bacteria and viruses from entering your filter from the drinking water network, being able to multiply there and making the filter unusable in the medium term.
Installation conditions for a water filter
There are different versions of water filters with various functions. Would you rather install a water filter on the countertop or under the counter?
Installation service for your water filter
Do you want your water filter to be installed by a technician service or do you want to install the filter yourself?

With the increasing awareness of water contamination and its health impacts, choosing the right water purifier has become a crucial decision for households. However, selecting the ideal water purifier can be overwhelming, as it depends on the type of water you currently have and the quality of water you want to achieve. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed choice.
Step 1: Understand Your Water Source
The first step in selecting a water purifier is to identify the type of water available in your area. Common water sources include:
- Municipal water supply: Treated water from local authorities, may still contain impurities like chlorine, sediment, or bacteria because of the water pipes in your building.
- Borewell water: Typically hard water with high levels of dissolved solids (TDS) like calcium, magnesium, and heavy metals.
- Mixed sources: A combination of municipal and borewell water, which may have varying levels of contamination.
Get your water tested to determine the TDS level, pH, and presence of contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, or heavy metals. This analysis will guide you in choosing the right purification technology.
Step 2: Determine the Desired Water Quality
Depending on your water quality test results, decide on the level of purification you need. Do you require water that is:
- Free from microorganisms and bacteria?
- Softened by reducing hardness?
- Low in TDS and devoid of heavy metals?
- Improved in taste and free of unpleasant odors?
Your specific needs will influence the type of water purifier you should choose.
Step 3: Explore Water Purification Technologies
There are several types of water purifiers available, each suited for different water conditions:
1. Reverse Osmosis (RO)
- Best for high TDS water (above 300 ppm).
- Removes dissolved solids, heavy metals, and contaminants.
- Enhances taste by reducing saltiness.
- Ideal for borewell or hard water.
2. Ultraviolet (UV)
- Effective against bacteria, viruses, and pathogens.
- Suitable for municipal water with low TDS.
- Doesn’t remove dissolved solids.
3. Ultrafiltration (UF)
- Filters out larger particles, bacteria, and viruses.
- Works without electricity.
- Suitable for low-TDS water.
4. Activated Carbon Filters
- Removes chlorine, pesticides, and organic impurities.
- Improves taste and eliminates odors.
- Best as a supplementary filter for municipal water.
5. Water Softeners
- Reduces hardness by removing calcium and magnesium ions.
- Ideal for hard water areas.
- Can be used alongside other purification systems.
