A water filter ensures that tap water is a healthy option for your most important foodstuff. It removes substances that are often neglected in official controls because they have no limit values but can still be harmful to health. Pollutants such as lead or copper, which should not actually be present in water, can also be significantly reduced by a filter. Even substances that comply with the permitted limits are often present in undesirable concentrations. A high-quality filter system protects your health and ensures greater vitality by minimising exposure to pollutants. Without a filter, your body takes over this task, which can lead to long-term health problems. A water filter is therefore a sensible investment to remove impurities from your drinking water.

Tap water versus bottled water

The question of drinking water quality is judged differently. Opinions also differ as to whether tap water or bottled water is the ‘better and safer water’. It also depends very much on which part of the world you live in and how you enjoy your own local water.

Where there are regulations and limits for tap and bottled water, these rules ensure ‘relative safety’, but only relative. Each limit value means that it is not an absolute value. In addition, these limit values are set by someone on the basis of some kind of foundation. The arbitrariness of the limit values becomes very apparent when they are suddenly changed.

However, it is undisputed that agricultural practices, the use of medicines and industrial activities are causing more and more pollutants to enter drinking water. Waterworks are often unable to filter these out completely.

Domestic water pipes also contribute to contamination. Old pipes or damaged seals can release heavy metals such as lead. In addition, germs and bacteria can thrive in underutilised pipes and impair water quality.

Mineral water is seen by many as an alternative, often for reasons of taste or mistrust of tap water. However, controls on mineral water fountains are less frequent and there are fewer limits than for tap water. Studies have shown that many mineral waters contain elevated levels of boron, uranium or endocrine disruptors from plastic bottles.

In ecological terms, tap water is clearly superior to bottled water as it does not require any transport or packaging.

To summarise, tap water and bottled water are officially considered safe to drink, but are not necessarily healthy. The use of a high-quality water filter can significantly reduce exposure to pollutants, even those without specified limits. Such a filter helps to make drinking water safer and healthier.

There is an under-sink filter for under the sink. This is the Home 80 filter.

The other filter sizes are installed on the house inlet pipe and supply the entire building. There are different sizes depending on the volume of water required.

These are the prices for a single purchase:

Larger quantities or special sizes are possible. You can enquire about these during the consultation.

You can also put together your other components (SPRING swirlers and accessories) as you need them - anything is possible. You will find out in the consultation with the expert.

Depending on the filter size, the replacement costs between 500 and 700 euros. A return address label for sending the old filter is also included.

The price remains unchanged.

Invoices outside Switzerland or the EU are issued in Swiss francs.

The exchange rate costs are borne by you as the customer.

Depending on the country from which you order, customs clearance and national/regional VAT will be added for you when shipping to your country.

Orders within the EU are dispatched from Germany.

Orders from Switzerland and all other countries worldwide are shipped from Switzerland. You may be subject to local taxes or fees, which vary from country to country.

The FlowLife filter is ready for delivery within 8 days. Depending on the country delivery may take a little longer. It is dispatched from Switzerland or Germany.

For Switzerland and Liechtenstein:

The shipping costs depend on the volume of the product ordered and are indicated with the item. From an order value of CHF 1,000.00, all products ordered within an order are delivered free of charge within Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein.

Outside Switzerland:

For deliveries to other countries, the shipping costs are individually adjusted to the volume and destination. If customs charges and/or additional customs fees are levied in the destination countries, the recipient must always bear these costs (DAP Incoterms). Unfortunately, it is not possible to include or cover these costs in the order processing/dispatch.

The filter is manufactured in Germany.

You can easily install it yourself with good DIY experience. The filter has standardised 3/8′′ inch connections for quick and easy installation on the cold water pipe.

If you are unsure, please contact a plumber. For warranty reasons, we recommend using an authorised installer.

Absolutely! The filter is very easy to install and can be removed and taken with you just as quickly.

After 3 years, you will receive an e-mail or a letter reminding you to change the filter. If you agree to the change, you will be sent a new filter. At the same time, you will receive the invoice for the replacement filter, between 500 and 700 euros depending on the size. You will also receive a return address label to send the old filter to the manufacturer.

You can change the filter itself within a few minutes using the 19 mm open-end spanner. If you are unsure, ask an installer.

Yes!

You can return the undamaged filter for 21 days.

Only high-quality and approved materials are used, which are confirmed by certificates: V4A, activated carbon, sterling silver.

No plastic or synthetic materials are used in the manufacture of the FlowLife filter.

FlowLife sends the filter back to the manufacturer, the housing is checked, the filter is regenerated and can be reused. No waste is produced.

All important minerals, which also influence the flavour of the water, are retained in the water. The water filter only changes the limescale structure from calcite to aragonite, which leads to a significant reduction in limescale deposits. These deposits are also easier to remove.

No chemicals are used. Only natural products are used as filter media. Silver is only used as a consumable in solid, bound form.

Thanks to the use of sterling-quality silver threads, the FlowLife filter is practically germ-free. Silver has a strong antibacterial effect: it inhibits the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi and can even kill them in very small quantities. However, silver only has this effect in the form of silver ions, which attach themselves to the cell walls of the microorganisms, disrupt their metabolism and prevent cell division. This is why silver is often used to disinfect and preserve water and is found in products such as drinking water sterilisation tablets and swimming pool care products.

In contrast to most conventional water filters, the manufacturer of FlowLife filters uses 99.9% no synthetic materials, plastic or aluminium. The materials used are completely environmentally friendly and recyclable. In order to close the ecological cycle, the manufacturer disposes of the used filters and filter materials through a specialised company that guarantees environmentally friendly processing.

As no plastics are used in production and disposal, no environmentally harmful degradation products such as microplastics (landfill) or dioxins (incineration) are produced. Although FlowLife filters are initially more expensive than conventional plastic filters due to the use of stainless steel, the price is relativised by the long service life, high performance and environmental friendliness. Although stainless steel is more expensive to manufacture and more difficult to process, it offers an almost unlimited service life.

Stainless steel is more expensive and more difficult to process than plastic. However, its service life is ‘almost infinite’!

Conventional water filter systems produce at least around 150 g of plastic waste to remove 100 mg of microplastics from drinking water. In other figures, this means that the vast majority of filter systems first filter out microplastics and then, when disposed of, produce at least 1500 times as much plastic waste.

In terms of performance, service life and environmental considerations, the price is put into perspective and the FlowLife filter becomes one of the most powerful, affordable and environmentally friendly drinking water filters on the market.
