Gefiltertes Wasser ist definitiv eine der gesündesten Optionen für den täglichen Wasserbedarf. Es reduziert schädliche Verunreinigungen und hilft dem Körper, eine optimale Flüssigkeitszufuhr zu erreichen.

Man sollte Leitungswasser nicht trinken, wenn ältere Bleirohre vorhanden sind (Schwermetallbelastung) oder wenn es warm aus dem Hahn kommt (längere Verweilzeit erhöht Risiko für Blei, Kupfer, Keime wie Legionellen), sowie generell bei Ungewissheit über die Qualität in der Hausinstallation (Schadstoffe, Keime, Medikamentenrückstände, Mikroplastik). Insbesondere Kinder und Schwangere sind gefährdet, daher ist es ratsam, kaltes Wasser laufen zu lassen, bis es kühl ist, und warmes Wasser nicht zum Trinken zu verwenden.

Both tap water and filtered water can be healthy, depending on the quality of the tap water and the type of filter used. In many regions, tap water is safe to drink and contains important minerals. Filters can remove impurities and improve taste, but they can also remove beneficial minerals if not carefully selected. The best option depends on individual needs and local water quality.

Yes, filtering tap water can be beneficial, especially if the water quality in your region is not optimal or if you want to remove specific substances like chlorine, heavy metals, or limescale. Filters improve the taste and odor of water and can also remove microplastics or drug residues. While tap water in Germany is generally of high quality and strictly controlled, a filter can offer additional safety and enhance your drinking experience.

Water filters in coffee machines are very useful and even necessary for several reasons. They improve the taste of the coffee, protect the machine from limescale and extend its service life. The taste of coffee is significantly influenced by the quality of the water. Limescale can lead to costly repairs and reduce the efficiency of the machine.

To ensure optimal coffee enjoyment and the longevity of your machine, you should change the water filter regularly, ideally every two months or after about 50 liters of filtered water. The machine usually indicates when a filter change is due. For exact instructions, please refer to the operating manual of your coffee machine.

Yes, all REINQUELLE products are safe for drinking water. We only use components that have been approved for use in drinking water installations in accordance with the German Drinking Water Ordinance.

"LFGB-tested" stands for "Lebensmittel-, Bedarfsgegenstände- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch" (Food, Consumer Goods and Feed Code). This German law is the primary legal text regulating food, tobacco products, cosmetics, and other consumer goods such as kitchen utensils, packaging, and toys. It serves as a framework and is implemented through various ordinances. It protects consumers by ensuring that products coming into contact with food (e.g., cutlery, dishes, food storage containers) are safe and do not pose a health risk.

When a product is "LFGB-tested," it means it complies with the requirements of this law. In practice, this means the product has been tested to ensure it does not release harmful substances into food, does not alter the taste or odor of food, and is safe for its intended use. Testing is typically carried out by independent and accredited laboratories.

All materials that come into contact with food are food-safe and have been tested for this purpose.
