  "short_description": "The BOROUX Legacy water filter in sage green **with 2 original BOROUX Foundation Black filters**. Wonderfully pure water for home or office, with a unique design!",
  "description": "The BOROUX Legacy water filter in sage green is not just an upgrade, it is a transformation. Experience wonderfully pure water and stainless steel quality that lasts a lifetime. BOROUX has been perfecting water filtration for 20 years. The superior stainless steel design guarantees lasting beauty for this elegant countertop water filter with a capacity of 11.4 litres.\n\nThe BOROUX Legacy water filter in sage green comes as standard with 2 [BOROUX Foundation Black filters](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-foundation-black-filterelementen/), but you can upgrade it to 4 filter elements. These BOROUX filters reduce, among other things, more than 99% of chlorine, heavy metals, pharmaceutical contaminants (medicine residues), pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, plastic and industrial contaminants (PFAS), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), microplastics and disinfection contaminants. The essential minerals your body needs are retained.\n\n#### Designed for a lifetime of enjoyment\n\nExperience the lasting beauty and durability of this deliberately designed system. Materials and elements have been carefully selected with the user in mind. The chambers are made of AISI 304 stainless steel to prevent corrosion. The discreetly vented lower chamber prevents a vacuum, while the elegantly curved lid gives a seamless look. Thoughtful design elements improve filtering efficiency and ease of use without compromising on aesthetics.\n\nMinimise your impact on the environment with BOROUX. They give priority to environmentally conscious materials and a streamlined process to reduce waste. The filters, accessories and system are built to last with sustainability in mind. A durable alternative to disposable products, making every refill a conscious choice for a greener future.\n\n#### Different colour, unique design\n\nThe BOROUX Legacy water filter is available in 3 colours. Besides the [polished model](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-legacy-waterfilter/), it is also available in [white](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-legacy-waterfilter-wit/), [black](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-legacy-waterfilter-zwart/) and [sage green](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-legacy-waterfilter-saliegroen/). These versions have a high-quality coating (on the outside only), and of course the tap and all other parts come in this colour too. A wonderfully unique design!\n\n#### BOROUX Foundation Black filters\n\nThe advanced filter technology does not just filter the water, it transforms it. By removing more than 99% of harmful contaminants, [BOROUX Foundation Black filters](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-foundation-black-filterelementen/) make sure your water is as pure and refreshing as nature intended. Every reduction of a contaminant contributes to an improvement in your health and wellbeing!\n\nThe filters consist of, among other things, a special mix of activated carbon. The BOROUX Foundation Black filter elements contain silver, an antimicrobial agent, to prevent micro-organisms from affecting the product itself. These filters are not intended to filter micro-organisms.\n\nThey are also so powerful that they can remove red dyes from water without removing the useful minerals your body needs.\n\n#### Test reports and certification\n\nThe BOROUX Foundation Black filters have been tested by an independent laboratory (IAPMO R&T Lab NJ, ISO/IEC 17025) according to NSF/ANSI standards 42, 53 and 401. See all [test reports](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/ufaq/laboratorium-testresultaten-van-de-boroux-waterfilter/) for more details; clarity and transparency come first.\n\nBOROUX is NSF/ANSI/CAN-certified by the Water Quality Association (WQA). This important achievement underlines their commitment to delivering safe, high-quality and effective water filtration solutions. This certification is not just a seal of approval: it shows that their products meet the strict standards of NSF International (NSF) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), internationally recognised organisations that safeguard public health and the safety of consumer products.\n\n#### Features of the BOROUX Legacy water filter in sage green\n\n- The ideal water filter for home and office.

The first step is priming the [BOROUX Foundation Black filter elements](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-foundation-black-filterelementen/). It is important that this is done properly, otherwise purifying the water takes a very long time. For all information about BOROUX water filters, we refer you to our [library](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/de-bieb/), where you will find manuals, instruction videos and answers to frequently asked questions, among other things. If priming with the tap does not work, you can order an [automatic primer pump](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-automatische-filter-primer-pomp/) or a [manual primer pump](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/black-berkey-primer/) from us.\n\n#### When should you replace the BOROUX Foundation Black filters?\n\nThe BOROUX Foundation Black filters have been developed to last for many years. However, we now live in a different time from a few years ago. The number of contaminants has only increased and they have become ever more severe (think of PFAS, or the considerable increase in medicine residues, pesticides and so on). This has an enormous effect on the filters, which is why it is better to replace them a little earlier. We therefore advise replacing the [BOROUX Foundation Black filters](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-foundation-black-filterelementen/) after 3 years at most with average use and when using tap water. If you use water from another source, we advise replacing them sooner.",
