German drinking water is of outstanding quality. To achieve even better water quality, some people filter their water. Aquion is a well-known manufacturer of water filters. But how good are their filters? We present experiences and criticism from users.

In a nutshell

  • Filtering of water actually not necessary
  • offers various models and accessories
  • Efficacy not yet scientifically proven

The importance of clean water

The human body consists of over 60% water. This is involved in all important processes within the organism, such as:

  • metabolism
  • digestion and energy metabolism
  • cardiovascular function
  • transport of oxygen and nutrients
  • Strengthening of bones, teeth and muscles

In order for all bodily functions to function properly, it is important to supply the body with sufficient liquid. Water is therefore a fundamental foodstuff. In Germany you can get water very easily:

  • in the supermarket
  • from springs and wells
  • Tap water from the tap

German tap water is strictly controlled and is therefore generally of very high quality. Therefore, unlike with pool water, it is actually not necessary to filter the drinking water. Nevertheless, some people are convinced that water filters are necessary to remove limescale or microplastics from the water.

German drinking water is of high quality.

Notice: Filtering also removes important nutrients and minerals from the water. Filtered water can therefore be rather bad for the human organism in the long run.

Aquion water filter

The Aquion company was founded in 2004 by Gottfried Röttel and Johannes Heppenheimer as "Salux Netzwerk GmbH". It has its headquarters in Hamburg and operates throughout Germany through sales partners. In 2004, the company was the first to offer drinking water ionization. They remain one of the leaders in this space to this day and offer several models to choose from. The Aquion water filters are characterized by the following functions:

  • high performance filter
  • FlowChange technology
  • electrode water cell
  • Aquion eSmog protector
  • AutoControl
  • 15 year full guarantee

In addition to the entire filter systems, the filters for the respective model are also available separately. They are priced at either 89 or 119 euros. The systems can also be expanded with additional accessories:

  • light module
  • Strainer insert for matching drinking bottle
  • Flexible water outlet
  • angle shut-off valve
  • adapter
  • Aquion eSmog protector

Criticism of water filters

There is a lot of discussion on the internet about the effectiveness of water filters in general. There are hardly any discussions about water filters from Aquion in particular. So far there is no sound scientific knowledge or studies that establish a clear connection between water filters and health. However, this does not per se exclude the possibility that using a water filter can have positive effects. However, there is also no guarantee that the manufacturer's promises can be kept. So there are some arguments that contradict these:

  • Water only has an invigorating effect because it is whirled up
  • Lack of precise information about what is filtered
  • Activating hydrogen makes little physical sense
  • Reducing the size of the molecules makes little sense given their already small size
  • Light Energy: Photons only exist at the speed of light, disappearing as soon as they hit a body
Not everyone is convinced of the usefulness of water filters.

Experiences with Aquion water filters

There is still disagreement regarding the effectiveness of water filters. In any case, those who believe in its effectiveness are satisfied with their water filters.
