# PiTec Professional > MAUNAWAI PiTec Professional: professional-grade water filter for restaurants, cafes and bars. Consistently pure water on tap. ## For anyone who doesn't leave water quality to chance The PiTec Professional is designed for environments where the highest water quality is not just an option, but a requirement. - **Restaurants and commercial kitchens**: For guests who can taste the difference. Whether it’s in cooking, with coffee, or with a glass of water with a meal. - **Cafés and bars**: Coffee and tea only develop their full flavor when brewed with good water. It is the most important ingredient. - **Offices and cafeterias**: Well-being starts with water. High-quality drinking water for employees, every day and without the hassle of managing water bottles. - **Hotels and spa facilities**: Quality in every detail. From the spa area to the minibar: water that meets your standards. - **Organic grocery stores and fresh food**: For businesses where authenticity isn't just a marketing buzzword, but a way of life. - **Catering company**: Large quantities of high-quality water, reliably and without supply shortages. ## Six good reasons to choose the PiTec Professional - **Up to 10 liters per minute**: High-performance for continuous use in restaurants and commercial settings. No waiting, no refilling. Just turn on the tap. - **Regenerates rather than just filters**: Over 20 mineral ceramics restore the natural structure of water. Minerals are preserved, and the water’s natural vitality is restored. - **Comprehensive contaminant filtration**: Heavy metals, pesticides, chlorine, drug residues, odors, and micropollutants are reliably reduced. - **Low-maintenance and durable**: Designed for continuous use. Filter replacement every 4 to 6 months—quick and easy, with no special tools required. - **No electricity, no chemicals, no salts**: Natural filter media, no wastewater, no cleaning salts. Sustainable in operation, responsibly manufactured. - **A taste your guests will notice**: Good water is the most important ingredient. Coffee, tea, and food only reveal their full flavor when the water is fresh and free of chlorine and impurities. ## Four steps: from tap water to spring water quality Each filter module has its own function. Together, they form a system that not only purifies your water but also revitalizes it—much like spring water as it makes its way through layers of rock. - **Primary filter**: The first barrier: It traps coarse particles and sediment from the water. Anything that doesn't belong there stays here. - **Intensive filter**: High-performance activated carbon made from coconut shells reliably removes heavy metals, chlorine, odors, pesticides, drug residues, and micropollutants - **Limescale protection**: Limescale is broken down, while valuable minerals are preserved. Protects coffee machines, ice cube makers, and combi-steamers from limescale buildup. - **MAUNAWAI Pi Filter**: The core feature: 21 different types of mineral ceramics purify the water using nature’s own methods. The result: water with spring-water quality > All filter media are natural: activated carbon from coconut shells, mineral ceramics, precious shungite, and other natural materials. No chemicals, no cleaning salts. ## No separate faucet. The water comes out just as you're used to. The PiTec Professional integrates directly into your existing cold-water line. No additional faucet, no modifications to the fixture. You turn on the faucet just as you always do. The only difference is that the water is now filtered and revitalized. In a professional kitchen, where every inch counts, that’s a real selling point. Less installation work, less space required, lower costs. - **No additional faucet** - **Space-saving** - **Easy integration** - **Ready to use** - **low-maintenance** ## Easy installation, thoughtfully designed down to the last detail The PiTec Professional is mounted on the wall under the sink or counter and connected directly to the cold water line (3/8"). Installation should ideally be performed by a professional plumber. You can’t see the system. And yet it changes everything. All you need for installation is a flexible connecting hose (3/8" F × 3/8" F) and Teflon tape. Once installed, the system operates reliably for months with minimal maintenance. - **Wall mounting with stainless steel screws and brackets** - **Delivered pre-assembled upon request** - **Filter replacement without special tools** - **Suitable for cold water only (protect from frost)** ## How much does your current water supply really cost you? Bottled water, water dispenser service contracts, logistics, storage space, the hassle of ordering, and disposal: it all adds up. The PiTec Professional replaces all of that with a one-time installation and regular filter changes. - **Lower costs**: No bottled water logistics, no service contracts, no rental fees for water dispensers. - **Less plastic**: Say goodbye to single-use bottles and gallon containers. Improve your business’s environmental footprint. - **Greater satisfaction**: Fresh, revitalizing water for employees and guests. Every day, straight from the tap. > Ongoing costs: Filter replacement every 4 to 6 months. The effort involved is minimal, but the benefits are noticeable. ## We know where our products come from Like all MAUNAWAI products, the PiTec Professional is manufactured in Germany and the EU.
