One whole house water filter. Clean water from every tap.

A domestic water filter is fitted centrally at the property’s water connection and filters all the water before it is distributed throughout the house. With the Peka, this means: microplastics are trapped in the filter, whilst PFAS, heavy metals, pesticides and chlorine are reduced, and the minerals remain in the water. This ensures that clean water flows from every tap, not just in the kitchen.

Directly behind the water meter on the main pipe, usually in the cellar or utility room. You’ll need access to the cold-water pipe and a wall. When installed side by side, the Peka 10 requires a width of around 1.20 m and a height of just over 40 cm. However, the installation is flexible: the modules can also be divided into two groups or all four mounted one on top of the other as a column, in which case the unit will be correspondingly narrower and taller. The installer will plan the layout on site to suit your requirements.

For installation in the main pipe, we recommend a specialist contractor of your choice. We will provide them with the installation instructions and all the connection details; the connection is a routine job for them, usually taking half a day. You can easily change the filter yourself later on, if you wish.

The basic and intensive filters are replaced about once a year, whilst the limescale protection and PI filters last three to five years. The prices are listed above under ‘Running costs’. You can easily replace them yourself if you wish; it takes about five minutes per filter.

No, and she doesn’t want it either. The limescale protection removes some of the hardness from the water and binds the rest in such a way that it no longer forms deposits. Without salt and without sodium. You won’t get completely softened water with this system, as the calcium and magnesium are meant to remain in the water. If you need soft water in the traditional sense, a water softener is the right appliance.

Nothing. The Peka operates without electricity, relying solely on the water pressure in the pipe. There are no electronic components that could fail.

The pressure drop is around 0.5 to 1.0 bar. In most homes, this isn’t noticeable in everyday life. We’ll find out what your water pressure is like when we call you back.

Installation involves alterations to the building’s plumbing, so you will need the owner’s consent. For rented flats, an under-sink system is often the simpler solution; we will also give you honest advice on this.

The Peka 10, as a complete system with four filter stages, costs €2,799.–, including VAT and delivery. Which additional modules you need depends on your water. That’s exactly what we’ll discuss when we call you back.

For a specialist firm, this is routine work, usually taking half a day. After that, the Peka requires very little maintenance until the next cartridge change is due.

A backwash filter traps sand, rust and particles, thereby protecting your pipes and appliances. This is a sensible measure, but it only solves this one problem. The Peka takes care of this in its primary filter and goes a step further: it reduces microplastics, PFAS, heavy metals, pesticides and chlorine, whilst retaining the minerals in the water. The price difference is due to what the additional stages achieve.

Reverse osmosis filters very thoroughly, removing almost everything, including minerals. It requires electricity and a tank, and produces waste water. The Peka operates without electricity and produces no waste water; it reduces pollutants whilst leaving calcium, magnesium and trace elements in the water.

Yes, it's built for that. Well water often comes with its own challenges, such as iron, manganese, nitrate or arsenic. For each of these, there is a module that can be added to the filter series. Which one you need is shown by the water analysis.

Generally speaking, yes – it depends on your water requirements and the space available. Give us a call and we’ll work out your requirements and let you know which model would be suitable.

The 360-degree water analysis costs €80.–, including postage, and if you decide to purchase a Peka, we will deduct this from the purchase price. It forms the basis for everything that follows: only the results will show which filter stages are suitable for your situation and which ones you can do without. The test checks for heavy metals, iron, manganese, nitrate, chlorine, fluoride, iodine and pesticide residues – a much broader range than a single test would cover. You don’t need to order anything; our customer service team will take care of that after the phone call. You’ll receive the test results in any case, even if you don’t end up buying from us.

A plumber of your choice. We will provide them with the installation instructions and all the connection details; if they have any questions, they can contact us at any time. For a specialist firm, the connection is a routine job, usually taking half a day.

No. There’s no maintenance contract, no annual service call and no salt tablets to top up. The Peka operates solely using the water pressure from the mains, without electricity or electronics. The only thing you need to do regularly is change the cartridge, and you can easily do that yourself if you wish.

Yes, and that’s the idea. Changing a filter takes about five minutes per filter; you don’t need any tools or a professional to do it. You can order the right cartridges directly from the shop; instructions are included.

Yes, some of the hardness is removed, whilst the rest is bound in such a way that it no longer forms deposits. How noticeable this is depends on how hard your water was to begin with. You’re most likely to notice the difference when showering and washing your hair, because limescale combines with soap to form a fine film, which is less noticeable in softer water. The difference compared to a water softener is that, in a water softener, the limescale is exchanged for sodium, whereas with the Peka system it isn’t.

Both filters work in the same way; they differ in terms of flow rate. The Peka 10 delivers around 20 to 30 l/min and is sufficient for a standard detached house with one or two bathrooms. The Peka 20 delivers around 45 to 60 l/min and is designed for large houses, multiple residential units connected to the same mains supply, and commercial properties. Rule of thumb: if you have several taps running at the same time, we’ll recommend the Peka 20. We’ll clarify which model is best for you during our callback; all we need to know is the number of bathrooms you have and the water pressure.

It always means the same thing: a system installed downstream of the water meter that filters the water before it is distributed throughout the house. Some people call it a domestic water filter, others a domestic filter system, or simply a domestic filter. Do not confuse it with a domestic water pump, which is simply a pump and does not filter anything. The Peka is a domestic filter system for drinking water, featuring limescale protection as a separate stage.
