Safe drinking water for babies and children

Children are more sensitive to water quality

Children drink less volume than adults, but their developing bodies can be more sensitive to unwanted substances, taste and hygiene. For babies, follow local medical guidance for formula preparation and use water that is appropriate for infants. When in doubt, ask a paediatrician.

The role of filtration

A premium water filter can improve taste and reduce many unwanted substances that may occur after municipal treatment, for example from old building pipes. Reverse osmosis with remineralization is especially interesting for families that want consistent drinking water and better taste directly in the kitchen.
