BWT Bestmax S Premium Water Filter for Espresso Machines, 5 Stage (S) | Replacement Cartridge | Limescale Protection | BWT Magnesium Technology | 1,070L Capacity | Fits Besthead FLEX

5 STAGE FILTRATION FOR BETTER TASTING COFFEE: The BWT Bestmax Premium S filters your water through 5 stages: particle pre-filter activated carbon pre-filter with silver high-performance ion exchanger with BWT Magnesium Technology activated carbon nonwoven and a fine particle filter. The result is water free from chlorine limescale particles and bad taste. Water that actually makes your espresso taste better not just cleaner

BWT MAGNESIUM TECHNOLOGY. Unlike regular water filters that only remove bad stuff BWT Bestmax Premium adds magnesium back into the water in exchange for calcium. Magnesium is a natural flavor carrier that brings out the aroma in coffee and tea. This is the reason specialty coffee shops worldwide use BWT filters specifically. It also stabilizes pH for a smoother balanced cup

SIZED FOR HOME ESPRESSO MACHINES. The S size has a capacity of approximately 1070 litres at standard water hardness (7 degrees total hardness bypass setting 3). For a home espresso machine pulling 2-3 shots per day this lasts roughly 6 to 12 months before replacement is needed. Replace after 12 months maximum regardless of volume per BWT guidelines

EASY INSTALL WITH BESTHEAD FLEX. Connects to your water line via the BWT Besthead FLEX filter head (sold separately). The Besthead FLEX has a universal 3/8 inch connection that fits most plumbed-in espresso machines including Rocket La Marzocco Lelit ECM Profitec and others. Can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on your under-counter space. No special tools needed for filter changes

PROTECTS YOUR MACHINE FROM SCALE DAMAGE: Limescale buildup is the number one cause of espresso machine breakdowns. The Bestmax S removes hardness minerals before they reach your boiler group head and valves. This reduces the need for descaling and extends the life of your machine. Dimensions: 88mm diameter x 360mm height (385mm with handle). Weight: 0.9 kg dry / 1.5 kg wet
