science meets water quality

The nature filter system relies on an advanced process to reduce the degree of hardness of the water. Very fine membranes are used that clean the water through physical filters. "Calcium and magnesium, which lead to high water hardness, remain behind and are derived into a neighboring channel," explains the EVN. In this way, water quality is achieved similar to that of spring water without changing the taste of the drinking water. Before delivery to consumers, the filtered water is finally disinfected with UV light. According to EVN-Blog , the membranes used ensure that only the purest water components are forwarded, which makes the need for water support devices in the household.
