BWT bestcare 10 Hygiene Water Filter Cartridge

€
WT bestcare 10 is a professional multi-stage hygiene filter cartridge designed for drinking-water dispensers and other point-of-use applications where cold water is consumed directly.
The cartridge combines several treatment stages to improve both the hygienic and sensory quality of the water. An integrated pre-filter reduces particles larger than 5 µm, while BWT’s triple activated-carbon barrier with silver reduces organic compounds, cloudiness, chlorine and substances responsible for unwanted taste and odour.
The final hollow-fibre membrane provides an additional hygienic barrier with a pore size of 0.1 µm. BWT specifies 99.999% bacterial retention, equivalent to log 5, including organisms such as Legionella, together with retention of cysts and protozoa. The system is also designed to retain microplastics.
BWT bestcare 10 is particularly suitable for water dispensers, office drinking-water systems, hospitality applications and other cold-water points of use where maintaining consistent drinking-water quality is important. The cartridge has a nominal flow rate of 200 L/h and a maximum rated use of 6,000 litres or 6 months, whichever is reached first.
Installation is performed using the BWT besthead FLEX connection system. The cartridge must be installed vertically and is designed for operating pressures of 2−8 bar and water temperatures of 4−30°C.

Drinking Water Hygiene Filtration
What BWT bestcare 10 Does
BWT bestcare 10 is a professional hygiene filtration cartridge designed for water dispensers, drinking-water systems and other point-of-use applications where cold drinking water is consumed directly.
It combines particle pre-filtration, a triple activated-carbon barrier and a final hollow-fibre membrane to improve both the hygienic and sensory quality of the water.
01
99.999% Bacteria Retention
The final 0.1 µm hollow-fibre membrane provides log 5 bacterial retention and is designed to retain bacteria such as Legionella, as well as cysts and protozoa.
02
Triple Activated Carbon Barrier
Silvered activated carbon reduces chlorine, organic components, cloudiness and substances responsible for unwanted taste and odour.
03
Particle & Microplastic Retention
Integrated 5 µm pre-filtration reduces particles before the membrane stage, while the complete filtration system also provides retention of microplastics.
How It Works
How BWT bestcare 10 Works
Multiple filtration mechanisms are combined inside one cartridge, providing progressive treatment before the water reaches the dispenser or drinking-water outlet.
1
5 µm Pre-Filtration
Incoming drinking water first passes through an integrated pre-filter that reduces particles larger than 5 µm and protects the downstream filtration stages.
→
2
Activated Carbon Treatment
The BWT triple activated-carbon barrier with silver reduces organic components, cloudiness, chlorine and compounds that can negatively affect the taste and odour of drinking water.
→
3
0.1 µm Membrane Filtration
A final hollow-fibre membrane provides a hygienic barrier with 99.999% bacterial retention and also retains cysts, protozoa and microplastics.
