No the Mavea system does not remove fluoride from 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.

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.
