Overview

F.H.E WFC3500 BWT Bestprotect Combi Oven Water Filter Starter Kit

The F.H.E WFC3500 is a BWT Bestprotect water filter starter kit designed to protect combi steamers, ovens, steam cookers, and hot drink equipment used in commercial food service environments. Natural water sources with high salt content, chlorine, or elevated mineral loads can cause corrosion, limescale, and calcium sulfate (gypsum) deposits that damage costly equipment over time. BWT Bestprotect cartridges use an exceptional filter medium and advanced BWT technology to remove these harmful elements before they reach your appliance, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.

Beyond protecting equipment, the WFC3500 cartridge is engineered to achieve an optimum pH value and a balanced water mineral profile, both of which are essential for great-tasting coffee, espresso, and steam-cooked food. With a rated capacity of 3,500 litres at 120 ppm, this Watermark-certified kit arrives complete with everything needed for a straightforward installation, including the filter cartridge, connection fittings, a universal filter head, a water pressure limiting valve, and a flush valve.
