BWT Bestmax Premium filter not working as expected
Hey there mate, you say Berlin? BWT Bestmax premium is as far as you can get taste-wise without going for RO. Berlin water has really high sulphates content so problem with most decarbonisation filters (Bestmax) is the precipitation of gypsum. The only way to prevent that is RO or using water soften...

Sanity check: can inlet pressure damage rotary pump?
