EU DWD 2020/2184 • CE MARKED • FDA Registered • LOG 10 BACTERIAL REDUCTION
Product advantages: What sets
MWT apart
Choosing a point-of-use water filtration solution for healthcare, hospitality, commercial, or public infrastructure environments requires evaluating pore size, bacteria reduction efficacy, service life, and regulatory compliance.
The data below is independently validated under ASTM F838-20 and supported by testing performed by Vitens Laboratories (NL) and the European Biomedical Institute (EBI), covering key performance criteria across MWT product solutions.

Certified performance data : MWT vs typical market range
Log 10 vs Log 7 - what the numbers mean
Bacterial reduction is expressed on a logarithmic scale.
Each step up represents 10x more bacteria eliminated per liter.
Bacteria remaining per liter filtered:
Log 6 - 99.9999% 1 per 1,000,000
Log 7 - 99.99999% 1 per 10,000,000
Log 10 - 99.99999999% 1 per 10,000,000,000
MWT products are tested and validated to Log 10 reduction under ASTM F838-20 by Vitens Laboratories (Netherlands), under controlled laboratory conditions.
How physical barrier filtration works at 0.08 µm
At 0.08 µm, the membrane acts as a physical barrier - pathogens larger than 0.08 µm cannot pass through the pores.
Published microorganism size ranges from scientific and microbiological literature:
Legionella pneumophila 0.3–0.9 µm
NTM 0.2–5 µm
Pseudomonas aeruginosa 0.5–0.7 µm
E. coli 1–2 µm
Salmonella 0.7–1.5 µm
Each pathogen above has a minimum published diameter larger than 0.08 µm. Filters with pore sizes above 0.08 µm may not physically retain the smallest microorganisms within these published ranges.
All MWT performance data is derived from controlled laboratory testing conducted under ASTM F838-20 protocols and supported by independent laboratory validation, including Vitens Laboratories (Netherlands), IAPMO R&T (USA), and the European Biomedical Institute (EBI). Results represent performance under controlled laboratory conditions. Actual performance may vary depending on source water quality, usage conditions, and operating environment.
Service life figures are estimated based on controlled testing and field performance data. Typical market comparisons are based on publicly available product specifications and published industry standards. Individual product performance may vary.
MWT products are manufactured in an FDA-registered medical device establishment and an EPA FIFRA-registered facility. These registrations relate to manufacturing and facility compliance frameworks and do not represent product approvals or medical treatment claims.
