Fluoride is a water additive that promotes strong teeth*. A study conducted by an independent water quality expert confirmed that MAVEA cartridge maintains the fluoride in the water.

*Applies to fluoridated municipal tap water.

Using MAVEA filtered water increases the lifetime of domestic appliances like coffee machines, by reducing the build up of limescale* deposits, which can damage water heating equipment.

The MAVEA filtration technology is an optimal mixture of activated carbon and ion exchange resin beads that work together with the unique cartridge shape to improve water taste and reduce limescale* and other contaminants (e.g. cadmium, copper, mercury, atrazine, simazine, benzene and tetrachloroethylene).

Tap water, whilst safe to drink, may contain substances which affect its taste, smell, appearance and overall quality. MAVEA filtered water significantly reduces chlorine taste and odor making your drinking water crystal clear and refreshingly delicious. MAVEA filtered water:

• Makes great-tasting drinking water and beverages including, coffee and tea. Even your ice cubes look and taste better. 
• Makes coffee and tea develop their full flavor 
• Increases the life span of domestic appliances by reducing limescale build up

• Easy and fast Installation without pre-soaking
  The installation of MAVEA cartridges is very fast and easy. No additional, time-consuming pre-soaking is needed!
  
• Perfect fit
  With its oval shape the cartridge fits in the hollow of the reservoir. You will notice a "click" as the cartridge fits securely into place.

MAVEA water filter cartridge reduces:

• Limescale* 
• Chlorine taste and odor
• Organic impurities (benzene and  tetrachloroethylene) 
• Metals (mercury, cadmium and copper) 
• Certain pesticides (simazine andatrazine)

With regard to the company's responsibility for the safety of its products, we consider all products and the raw materials used in the manufacturing process to be subject to extremely strict external and internal controls.

In order to maximize our products safety, each MAVEA cartridge is hygienically sealed.

The raw materials and the finished products are rigorously controlled and tested against defined quality requirements in our company. In addition, independent institutes and scientists continuously test our products and production facilities.

No, due to the design of the cartridge, MAVEA cartridges keep their moisture, so that there is no further need to keep the cartridge immersed in water.

Water quality varies considerably; this in turn has an effect on the life of a cartridge. To ensure that your MAVEA filter is always working well we recommend that the cartridge is changed regularly, at least every 8 weeks or 40 gallons /150L The MAVEA Meter will let you know when to change your cartridge.
