Masterpiece Water Filters What is the objective of water filters - to remove unwanted wastes, contaminants, bacteria, viruses, fungi, chemicals etc. from your water supply. The Masterpiece comes with the choice of two types of filters, both of which are excellent filters. The standard filter has been used for years by ourselves, but as with all 'things' you are now given a choice of your filtration with your Masterpiece Ioniser. Both of the filters Regular and Biostone, have the same filtration capability 0.1M(micrometers), as you will see below how effective this can be and why it is so important to change your filter when it is indicated.
