BWT BESTMAX PREMIUM WATER FILTER AND SOFTENER SYSTEMS
Limescale & Gypsum Protection + Magnesium
Product Description
BWT bestmax PREMIUM with Magnesium
When coffee or tea tastes flat or flavorless, the fault does not necessarily lie with the beans or variety of tea. The water or rather, an imbalance of the minerals in the water, can also be responsible for this.
BWT bestmax PREMIUM is an innovative filter system for optimizing water especially for all hot beverages from coffee and vending machines. This filter reduces all undesirable components such as limescale, particles, off-flavors such as chlorine, and organic compounds from the raw water.
-
BWT Bestmax PREMIUM is magnesium-enriched.
-
Includes the patented Mg2+ technology.
-
Magnesium is a valuable flavor carrier that also balances the acid-base level of the water.
-
A filtration system for water optimization in the foodservice sector
-
Reliable limescale protection and high sensory water quality
-
Perfect water for all hot drinks and a pleasant-tasting cold drink.
-
Reduces scale buildup within espresso machines and coffee systems, dramatically reducing the need for descaling.
BWT bestmax PREMIUM and its Aroma PLUS formula can change this for you immediately. This groundbreaking innovation for water optimization from BWT water + more returns the mineral content in the water to an acceptable equilibrium. In particular, the essential mineral magnesium benefits from this. It brings out the full aromas of coffee, tea or cocoa. But BWT bestmax PREMIUM water tastes just as great when served pure. Well cooled, served in a jug, it is the perfect match: free from particles and odor, with a balanced mineral note, it is a great pleasure for gourmets. BWT bestmax PREMIUM ensures that you reliably remove the carbonate hardness and protect your machine against scale deposits.
Because the Premium filter has magnesium to sweeten the water. We recommend a flow meter to monitor your water flow usage, as the magnesium will provide a mineral reading on your hardness test stick that is not harmful, and you could not be getting the full usage out of your filter or waiting to long and damaging your machine. We recommend you check your total water hardness then set your meter to the recommended BWT chart that comes with every filter. Reading from the BWT chart based on your total harness reading, you can set the filter head to the proper setting for the % of protection you need and proper amount for your meter and it will tell you when it's time to change your filter.
Flexible – only one connecting filter head (not included see options) for all filter types
Capacity sufficient for 5440 l of perfectly mineralized water

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 mineralizes 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:
Pre filter when needed
For heavy sandy water or well water a pre filter cartridge of 10 micron is recommended to prolong your BWT bestmax filter with 0.5 micron.
- Particle Pre-Filter - Separation of coarse particles such as sand and rust.
- An Activated Carbon Pre-Filter - Elimination of oxidants, protection of the ion exchanger against aging.
- High-performance Ion Exchanger - Removal of hardening substances, adjustment of mineral balance.
- Activated Carbon Nonwoven - Elimination of organic substances, chlorine, foreign odor and foreign taste.
- Particle Fine Filter - Separation of fine particles and suspended matter.
The Bestmax Premium Filter also reduces scale buildup within espresso machines and coffee systems, dramatically reducing the need for descaling.
Filter Capacity
Depending on the hardness of your water, the total capacity of your filter will vary.
The capacities below are approximations for a filter used for an espresso machine.
- Max Capacity: 49.98 ppm / 7 °DTH (degrees total hardness) Water at bypass setting 3 - 6,140 Liters
- Min Capacity: 178.5 ppm / 25+ °DTH (degrees total hardness) Water at bypass setting 1 - 1,440 Liters
Please Note: Regardless of the total water volume run through the cartridge, BWT recommends replacing your filter after a maximum of 12 months of use.
