Bestmax Premium
The BWT Bestmax premium is the step up from the aforementioned Bestmax cartridge, it holds the same purpose of refining raw water into gourmet-grade water that is outstandingly suited for making hot beverages such as coffee, espresso and tea. The patented BWT Magnesium technology while filtering the water remineralised the filtrate with magnesium ions.

The BWT Bestprotect cartridge is designed for usage in areas of hard water, the filter balances mineralisation and provides a consistently high PH value in the filtrate. Hardness-forming calcium ions aswell are removed entirely aswell and limescale deposits and gypsum are prevented. These are key factors to minimise the risk of corrosion.
Besttaste
