The BWT Mira is a compact POU tabletop device with BWT's signature Mg²⁺ enrichment — the single feature that noticeably shifts tap water flavour towards spring water. For offices up to 20 persons, it is the most compact solution in the BWT portfolio; full-service rental models from 45 EUR/month make entry straightforward.

Review
Filtration and water quality
The BWT Mg²⁺ filtration principle combines activated carbon (chlorine and odour removal) with an ion-exchange layer that replaces calcium with magnesium. Result: water with a natural mineral-water character, without the limey taste of hard tap water. In blind tests (BWT study 2024), 73% of participants preferred Mg²⁺-filtered over unfiltered tap water.
Maintenance and CO₂ logistics
The 600 g CO₂ cylinder lasts approximately 3 weeks at moderate carbonation consumption (approx. 8 L/day). BWT lease customers receive replacement cartridges with regular filter delivery; private users order through standard retailers. Filter replacement every 2,500 litres or 6 months — via app reminder or delivery schedule.

Frequently asked questions about BWT Mira
What is the cost of the BWT Mira full-service rental model?
BWT offers the Mira from approx. 45 EUR/month including device, filter delivery and maintenance. CO₂ cartridges can be optionally added (approx. 8–12 EUR/cartridge on subscription).
The BWT AQA drink Pro 20 is a narrow, well-documented water dispenser for approximately 20 users. At 230 millimetres wide, it fits into gaps where no refrigerator would go, and the base cabinet solves four operational issues at once: filter space, CO2 space, an approximately 3-litre waste water tank with fill-level sensor, and an integrated cup dispenser. The key point to understand before ordering is the variant logic: each model delivers exactly three of four water options. CAS has no hot water, HCS has no ambient-temperature still water, HCA has no carbonation. This comes alongside a maintenance plan that creates in-house workload: weekly cleaning by a trained person, daily wiping of the dispensing area, half-yearly disinfection, filter replacement and UV lamp replacement by qualified staff. BWT does not publish a list price.
The Blupura Blu2Go combines chilled still and sparkling water with an integrated reusable bottle dispensing system. According to the manufacturer and datasheet, it delivers up to 60 litres per hour, dispenses 170-millilitre portions and stores up to 40 bottles of 500 millilitres each. This version is aimed primarily at public indoor spaces, universities, factories, larger offices and transport locations with around 100 to 500 employees or visitors per day. Bottle cleaning includes a pre-wash with filtered water, ozone cleaning and a rinse with filtered water. Its main drawbacks are its large footprint of 615 × 1,850 × 735 millimetres and its 181-kilogram weight in the base version. The published net price ranges from €11,334 to €13,361. A reliable ROI therefore depends on daily dispensing volumes, selling price, water connection, CO2 consumption and the number of single-use bottles avoided. With low usage, the investment is difficult to recoup. With steady footfall, the combination of sales, reusable bottle logistics and bottle cleaning may make economic sense.
The BWT AQA drink Pro 20 CAS is a mains-fed water dispenser for cold still and cold carbonated water. The datasheet specifies 20 litres per hour for this CAS variant, 4 to 12 degrees Celsius for cold water, 230 W, 23 x 39 x 36 cm and 18 kg. Performance figures for hot water from the HCS and HCA variants do not apply to the CAS rating. For offices, reception areas and facilities with regular water demand, the compact dispenser module can be a suitable choice. Before installation, water and CO2 connection, pressure, filter, cleaning, spare parts and service must be clarified. Operation is not maintenance-free. Our verdict is positive for a fixed indoor location with clear hygiene protocols in place. Operators requiring hot water should specify a dedicated variant and not derive requirements from a combined datasheet.
Mains-fed water dispenser for 10 to 60 users, four water formats, refrigerant R290 — from approximately 2,815 euros net. The hygiene technology is standard and the reason to purchase this unit; filter consumption and commissioning are reasons for careful examination.
