THE MAGICIS IN THE FILTERFor our GROHE Blue system we have worked with BWT, Europe’s leadingfiltered water professionals, to ensure that our system produces an unparalleled,refreshing drinking experience. Our standard high performance S-Size filtercomes with every GROHE Blue Home starter set. It uses a five-step filtrationprocess to remove even the smallest particles from tap water, while leavingbehind all the important minerals that benefit your health.BYPASS SETTINGA small amount of limescale in thewater is important for a pleasant tasteand mineral balance. The bypasssetting allows a small amount ofwater to be filtered without removinglimescale in the ion exchanger.INLET WATEROUTLET WATERFIVE-STEP FILTRATIONFILTRATION BYPASS WATERBYPASS WATER FLOWIn addition, two other filters available.If you live in a soft-water area, theactivated carbon filter is right for you.It improves the taste but leaves thecarbonate levels in the water untouched.For the best taste and health benefits,the magnesium filter is the idealchoice.It adds up to 35 mg magnesiumto each litre of water, helping you getenough of this essential mineral whiledelivering the best tasting tea andcoffee possible.For more information about ourdifferent filters, visit: www.grohe.comFINE FILTRATIONCaptures even the finestremaining particles.ACTIVATED CARBON FILTRATIONA second filtering process fora maximum taste experience.
