Partnership with Aqua free

KWC Professional will offer adapters* for use with the Germlyser® neo A sterile filter from Aqua free from 2025. The stainless steel adapters are optional accessories for the thermostatic wall-mounted mixers in the F4 and F5 tap range.

Hospitals and other healthcare facilities use sterile filters to minimise the risk of infection. High-risk patients undergoing intensive medical or oncological treatment require this additional protective solution, even if the conditions for drinking water hygiene are otherwise optimal.

To install a Germlyser® neo A sterile filter, remove the swivel spout of the installed F4 and F5 wall-mounted mixer taps. The adapter is then fitted to the tap housing. Thanks to the bayonet lock, the connection to the Germlyser® neo A sterile filter is quick and easy.

This end-of-line sterile filter is a CE-marked medical device with a 0.2 μm hollow fibre membrane. According to the manufacturer, this membrane reliably retains at least 99.99999% of critical, water-associated pathogens such as legionella, pseudomonads or staphylococci within a service life of up to 8 weeks. The water flow is not affected.

In addition, the antimicrobial MetalSkin Medical® coating on the filter housing and the jet disc prevents retrograde contamination from the drain or on contact.

The environmentally sensitive service concept of Aqua free fits in perfectly with the sustainable corporate philosophy of KWC Professional. As part of a rental package, the facilities receive newly refurbished filters before the end of their service life. The used filters are collected by the courier service and reconditioned at Aqua free in a complex, validated process in accordance with RKI recommendations. The adapters remain on the fittings, ultimately reducing plastic waste.
