BRITA offers different filter heads with specific bypass settings that control how much of the water bypasses the filter cartridge. The choice of filter head depends on your specific needs and the desired water quality. Here is an overview of the different types:

30% bypass filter head: Here, 30% of the water bypasses the filter cartridge, while the remaining 70% is filtered. This setting preserves some of the water’s natural minerals, which can be desirable for achieving a specific taste in beverages.

0–70% variable bypass filter head: This filter head allows you to adjust the bypass setting from 0% up to 70%, providing flexibility to adapt the filtration level to specific needs and local water conditions. It is especially useful in commercial applications where water quality requirements may vary.
