3. Principe de fonctionnement
The BWT Bestmin Premium M filter utilizes a multi-stage filtration process to deliver optimized water quality:
- Particle Pre-filter: Separates coarse particles such as sand and rust from the raw water.
- Charbon actif : Eliminates organic substances, chlorine, foreign odors, and tastes.
- Mineralization Stage: Releases essential minerals, particularly magnesium (Mg²⁺), into the water, acting as a flavor carrier.
