Three successors fit the same housing, with BOROUX Foundation filters the most popular choice. The story behind it and the options available now. - [PFAS in tap water: the facts, standards and developments](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/pfas/): Small amounts of PFAS can occur in Dutch tap water. Dutch drinking water meets the statutory standard and, according to the RIVM, can simply be drunk. At the same time, the RIVM advises reducing exposure to PFAS further wherever possible. On this page we keep track of the key facts, standards and developments concerning PFAS in Dutch drinking water. - [Filtering PFAS from tap water: what really works?](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/guides/pfas-uit-kraanwater-filteren/): PFAS can be filtered out of tap water. Activated carbon, ion exchange and reverse osmosis in particular can reduce PFAS. However, how well a water filter does this depends heavily on the type of filter, the specific PFAS substance, the amount of water already filtered and the conditions in which the filter is used. So don't just look at the claim 'filters PFAS', but above all at independent test results. - [BOROUX: the successor to Berkey that Europe has yet to discover](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/guides/boroux-waterfilter/): The same filter formula, a new brand and its own systems in four colours. And the only BOROUX dealer in Europe is based right in Hegelsom (the Netherlands). - [ProOne disappeared: the real element is called Coldstream FTO PLUS](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/guides/proone-alternatief-coldstream/): ProOne was taken over in America, but the famous filter element comes from an English factory and is still around, under its own name. This is how your system keeps running. - [Filtering medicine residues from tap water: what really works?](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/guides/medicijnresten-uit-kraanwater-filteren/): Medicine residues can be reduced in tap water. Activated carbon and reverse osmosis in particular can reduce various medicine residues. How well a water filter does this differs per substance and per filter. Independent laboratory tests of the complete filter therefore give you more information than the mere claim that a filter 'removes medicine residues'. - [British Berkefeld stopped selling through dealers: this is how your system keeps running](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/guides/british-berkefeld-alternatief/): The brand still exists, but no longer sells through (online) shops.

What is the difference?](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/guides/waterfilter-of-waterontharder/): You often hear the terms used interchangeably, but they solve two different problems.

A Reverse Osmosis water filter (RO system) does reduce these minerals, as well as contaminants. In this article you can read about the differences and what does and does not disappear from your water. - [What does a water filter test report contain?](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/guides/watstaaterein-testrapport/): A good test report shows which substances were actually examined, how much of them was measured before and after filtration, and after how many litres of water the performance was established. Also look at who carried out the test and by which method. A laboratory test is not automatically the same as a certification. - [Microplastics in tap water: what are they, how do you measure them and what helps?](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/guides/microplastics-uit-kraanwater/): Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that can also be found in drinking water. How many particles are found depends heavily on the measuring method used. Some water filters can reduce microplastics, but look at specific test results. A general filter claim or a stated pore size is not enough proof that microplastics have actually been tested. - [Limescale at home and limescale in your filter: what is the difference and how do you keep your system clean?](https://waterfilterhouse.com/en/guides/kalk-in-huis-en-kalk-in-je-filter/): Limescale in your tap water is a natural phenomenon, but it behaves differently in your household than in your water filter.
