BWT bestaqua ROC ULTRA is a compact professional water treatment system combining reverse osmosis with final mixed-bed demineralisation. It is designed for laboratories, dental clinics, medical facilities and technical equipment requiring consistently low-conductivity water.
Reverse osmosis removes the majority of dissolved salts before the water passes through a BWT bestdemin PLUS mixed-bed ion exchanger for final demineralisation.
The combination of membrane separation and mixed-bed ion exchange produces highly demineralised water with an output conductivity below 3 µS/cm under specified operating conditions.
Removing dissolved salts helps prevent mineral deposits and residues in autoclaves, sterilisation equipment, laboratory instruments and other systems requiring high-purity water.
ROC ULTRA uses two complementary technologies. Reverse osmosis performs the primary desalination, while the integrated mixed-bed ion exchanger removes the remaining dissolved ions.
Incoming drinking water is pressurised and passed through the BWT bestaqua 14 membrane. The membrane retains more than 97% of dissolved salts and produces low-mineral permeate.
The permeate is monitored and recirculated until its conductivity reaches the configured target value, providing stable water quality before final treatment.
The water passes through BWT bestdemin PLUS. Its mixed-bed ion exchanger removes remaining cations and anions, producing high-purity water with very low conductivity.
BWT bestaqua ROC ULTRA provides demineralised water directly on site for applications where dissolved salts can affect equipment, processes or cleaning results.
Suitable for supplying high-purity water to dental autoclaves, sterilisation systems and other dental equipment requiring low-conductivity water.
Provides demineralised water for steam sterilisation, autoclaves, washing equipment and compatible medical applications requiring reliable water quality.
High-purity water can be used for laboratory applications such as preparation of reagents and residue-free cleaning of compatible laboratory equipment.
Demineralised water helps prevent salt deposits inside steam generators, autoclaves and sterilisation equipment, reducing mineral residue on internal components.
Suitable as process water for compatible washing and disinfection systems where mineral residues from conventional tap water are undesirable.
ROC ULTRA can also supply demineralised water to compatible technical systems and processes where consistently low conductivity is required.

BWT bestaqua ROC ULTRA must be supplied with drinking water that meets the specified feed-water requirements. In particular, free chlorine at the membrane inlet must remain below 0.05 mg/L.
Depending on the local water quality, separate particle, activated-carbon or other pre-treatment may therefore be required before the ROC ULTRA system to protect the reverse osmosis membrane and ensure reliable operation.
* Actual performance depends on incoming water quality, temperature, pressure and operating conditions. Suitability for a specific laboratory, medical or dental device should be checked against the water-quality requirements specified by the equipment manufacturer.
ROC ULTRA allows professional facilities to produce demineralised water directly from the drinking-water supply, reducing dependence on externally supplied demineralised water.
Two-stage treatment provides controlled low-conductivity water independently of normal variations in mineral content within the permitted feed-water range.
Produce high-purity water directly at the facility instead of relying entirely on the storage and handling of containers of externally supplied demineralised water.
The reverse osmosis membrane, controls and final demineralisation stage are integrated into a compact system designed for professional indoor installation.
Operating parameters including conductivity, pressure, temperature, water consumption and production data can be monitored through the BWT Professional App.
Key questions about BWT bestaqua ROC ULTRA and professional production of high-purity demineralised water.
ROC ULTRA is designed to produce highly demineralised water for professional applications including laboratories, medical facilities, dental clinics, autoclaves, steam sterilisation equipment and other compatible systems requiring low-conductivity water.
Yes. BWT uses reverse osmosis combined with bestdemin PLUS demineralisation for dental applications requiring high-purity water, including autoclaves, dental units and compatible washing or disinfection equipment.
Yes, provided the required water quality and flow correspond to the specifications of the connected equipment. BWT bestdemin PLUS is specifically used for producing demineralised water for steam sterilisation applications in medicine and dentistry.
Standard reverse osmosis removes most dissolved salts but does not completely demineralise the water. ROC ULTRA adds a second treatment stage using a mixed-bed ion exchanger, which removes remaining dissolved ions and further reduces conductivity.
BWT specifies conductivity below 3 µS/cm after the bestdemin PLUS stage under the defined operating conditions. The actual result depends on feed-water quality, cartridge condition and system settings.
A mixed-bed ion exchanger contains cation and anion exchange resins. These remove positively and negatively charged dissolved ions remaining after reverse osmosis, allowing substantially lower conductivity to be achieved.
The reverse osmosis membrane can produce approximately 120 litres of permeate per hour at 15°C. The integrated bestdemin PLUS final treatment stage has a nominal flow capacity of 100 litres per hour, which defines the practical maximum final system output.
It depends on the application. ROC ULTRA produces highly demineralised low-conductivity water, but distilled water and demineralised water are produced by different processes. Always compare the ROC ULTRA output specification with the water-quality requirements of the laboratory instrument, autoclave or medical device being supplied.
Feed water must comply with BWT membrane requirements. Because the permitted chlorine concentration is below 0.05 mg/L, appropriate activated-carbon and particle pre-treatment may be required depending on the local drinking-water quality.
Potentially yes. The system includes an external tank connection and can form part of a central high-purity water supply installation. Correct sizing depends on the peak consumption, daily demand and water-quality requirements of all connected equipment.
Yes. The BWT Professional App provides access to relevant operating parameters including conductivity, outlet pressure, water temperature, operating hours, water consumption and production volume.
